New relationship with importer: what first shipment size feels reasonable?

satu bulan yang lalu

Recently I have been discussing choosing first shipment size with a new importer with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole workflow. I am not looking for textbook reply. I want to know whether choosing first shipment size with a new importer gives meaningful difference once you repeat it over many cycles.

Would you keep choosing first shipment size with a new importer in your normal process, or only for specific coffees and situations?

For choosing first shipment size with a new importer, I only trust conclusion after I see same pattern several times. One successful run can be accident. Repetition is what make the lesson useful.

i see choosing first shipment size with a new importer work in some place, but usually only when the notes are clear and people really compare batch by batch. if not, discussion become only feeling.

From my side this helped only on certain coffees, not on every lot. When the coffee is already forgiving, choosing first shipment size with a new importer does not change much. On difficult lots the effect is clearer.

I disagree a little with people who say choosing first shipment size with a new importer is only a small detail. Small detail alone maybe yes, but several small details together can move the cup a lot.

What helped me most was keeping short notes each time. Without notes, discussion about choosing first shipment size with a new importer becomes memory battle and not real evaluation.
