EXPLORE OUR OFFERINGS<\/h2>\n

Buying \u201cspot\u201d coffee means taking coffee that we currently have in our warehouse. For a list of current availability, please check the\u00a0coffee offerings section<\/a>\u00a0of the website<\/span> or create a Portal Account<\/a> to view pricing<\/span>. (You can also see future offerings by clicking on AFLOAT to see all coffees on the water en route to us, or OPEN to see all coffees contracted but not yet shipped.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Sort by country, certification, processing type, or even by flavor profile. We have worked hard to make an offerings page that fits the ways our customers buy coffee. If you have feedback, please let us know how we can make it better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Purchasing coffees in full-pallet increments ensures the best value in shipping. See our\u00a0shipping page<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n

CONTRACTING<\/h2>\n

Contracting<\/strong> coffee with us is easy, and can serve several purposes.<\/p>\n

Customers may build contracts to secure a supply of coffees that are already available in our warehouse. This allows a roaster to guarantee that a certain amount of coffee is available in their position to be released as needed, and also saves space in the roastery by utilizing our warehouse for storage.<\/p>\n

Customers may also purchase forward contracts, which allows a roaster to secure a supply of coffee that has not yet shipped from the growing country, or even before the harvest has begun. Forward contracts can be written on basis of pre-ship or arrival samples, or they can be price-fixed to secure an advantageous market rate.<\/p>\n

We have a variety of contracting and hedging tools for your use and benefit, and we are happy to help you find the purchasing strategy that makes the most sense for you and your business. Feel free to contact us via e-mail at sales@cafeimports.com<\/a> with any questions about the various contract options that exist.<\/p>\n
