Didn't you ask this question last week?

Or was it somebody else selling Indonesian coffee?

You can ask the same question over and over again, but I doubt you'll get a different answer. There are plenty of sources for good coffee in Australia, why would people buy from Indonesia? Unless they want the stuff that's been through a civet.

Isn't coffee how some drug smugglers try and get their drugs past the authorities? That's the first thing that comes to my mind, anyway, so there is no way in Hades that I'd be buying coffee from anywhere but my local supermarket, delicatessan or Zaraffa's shop, ESPECIALLY not from Indonesia. It's just one of those things that seem to be surrounded by a bit of controversy and I'd rather someone else be in charge of importing them.

Even though ya get 3 square meals a day and free TV whilst a guest of Her Majesty's. I hate sharing bathrooms.

But that's just me.

Yeh coffee is something u can get cheap around the corner, so why pay and wait online. The other thing is I think food/drink is something most people want from a registered shop as it's something we put in out bodies and most people want to make sure it's met all health standards including a safe delivery of postage.

I assume you're not referring to low feedback dropshipping sellers. They've been around since Adam was a boy. Generally they are a bit more sophisticated than the OP, so I assume the OP is genuine and has no real idea of the market they are trying to sell into.

Assuming you are not a scamming dropshipper, of course.

OP, Ausrtalians have developed a highly sophisticated palate for coffee over the last decade or so.

We also live in a very multi cultural country & for this reason these new australians have bought with them their wonderful food & coffee culture. Coffee is available to us pretty much just around every corner.and really good coffee at that.

I appreciate your efforts to start a business & I am not arguing that your belief that your product is superior to Starbucks is not justified however we arent a Starbucks culture here.We have a much more refined sensibility when it comes to our coffee preferences.

PersonaIly I will only buy coffee beans I can taste first & I dont think I am alone in this regard.

You are trying to sell into a market that already has an abundance of great quality & well costed product available.

Respectfully I would recommend you undertake a little bit of market research. Try to source a market/country that has a demand for your coffee.

Besides I don't think Indonesia is known for great coffee even though it is the 4th highest producer of coffee in the world
