Cherry
Farmers sell ripe cherry to washing stations and mills.
Parchment
Washing stations and wet mills sell wet or dry parchment to dry mills and exporters.
Green
Exporters and traders sell graded green coffee to importers and roasters.
Roasted
Roasters sell roasted coffee to cafés and retailers.
What we do
Sellers list lots with photos, cup scores, processing details and origin down to the village. Buyers compare lots, post requests and make offers. Contact details are shared only when an offer is accepted.
What we don't do
We don't buy or sell coffee ourselves, hold money, or take part in contracts. Trades are agreed directly between members, under the laws of their countries.
Where we operate
Everywhere coffee is grown and bought. The site is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Swahili, Arabic and Chinese, and origin pages cover the world's main producing countries.
