If you've ever seen authentic Indonesian coffee listed for $80+ a bag in the US and then quietly crawled into the shower to cry — you’ve found the right thread.

I’m headed to Indonesia soon — land of volcanoes, Komodo dragons, and coffee so good it makes your overpriced pour-over look like brown bathwater.

If you’re a fellow coffee snob, I’m happy to grab some real-deal beans while I’m there. I’ll re-ship when I’m back stateside.

Let me know what you're into: Sumatra? That spicy Bali roast that punches you in the face and whispers apologies later? I’m not hauling a duffel full of kopi luwak unless someone Venmos me hazard pay.

Bean Options (depending on region availability):​

  • Sumatra – Earthy, chocolatey, low-acid. Great for espresso or French press.
  • Toraja – Rich, spicy, full-bodied. Think bold with a brain.
  • Bali Kintamani – Fruity, floral, citrus notes. Fancy pants stuff.
  • Java – Smooth, balanced, classic — the OG “cup of Java.”
  • Kopi Luwak – Yes, the cat-poop one. No, I won’t carry it unless you really want it and don’t mind sending funds advance. Disgusting.

💸 Rough Cost:​

  • Expect around $15–25 per bag, depending on the region and roast.
  • I’ll ship via USPS when I return, with tracking.
  • Add actual shipping cost from me to you (probably $9-11 depending on size).
  • No profit, just caffeine-fueled good will.
Let me know what you're into — flavor notes, roast level, whole bean or ground. PM or post below.

No decaf. No pods. No Folgers people. You know who you are.
 
I like dark roasts, ground, but am open to medium roasts. Really willing to try anything. Would love three bags.
 
Okay, I am INTERESTED and I want to show VALUE to my MATE.

Sumatra and Toraja.

Pretty sure my wife got me a book about Sumatra for Valentine's Day, all kindsa angles and poses.

Edit to add: Sumatra preferred if just one bag, thanks.

Oh, please note - I’ll gladly grab as many as possible, but it may only be 1 bag per member. All depends on luggage space. I typically donate all my clothes day before I leave, which frees up a ton of space, but just in case I can’t get you the 3 bags requested @BKisback but I’ll certainly do what I can :)
 
I’m interested. Let me think about my order.

Does kopi luwak not taste good, or are you just grossed out by the idea?
 
Interested in Sumatra and Java please if there's room. Java is the priority. Thank you!
 
Awesome offering...

Whole bean Bali and Java for me please

I've been trending lighter roasts lately for the hints of berry notes that come through

Totally fair — take your time. I’ll be over here Googling “how many beans fit in a carry-on.”

As for kopi luwak… it’s like paying $60 top shelf stuff to get punched in the taste buds, so I’ve heard. I’ve never had it before, but it’s def made headlines lol. I personally prefer my beans poop-free — but hey, no judgment.

Let me know!
 
Thanks for everyone’s patience— I’ll post a list of everyone’s orders and preferences tomorrow. I’ll front the cost, no problem. And if anyone bails after I pick up, I’ll happily scoop the remainder… straight into my pantry. Order Cancellations totally welcomed 😉
