  Mike, I build flavor profiling and quality control tools for coffee, beer, and spirit producers. I would love to help with the coffee DNA project. Shoot me an email[1]? [1] JasonCEC@Gastrograph.com

  I try not to complain, but since you are here... I buy coffee from a local roaster. It isn't in your list when I try to go through the sign up process. I can't proceed with the sign up process unless I pick a company. Meanwhile, if I want to recommend my local roaster to you, I get presented with a WuFoo form. That's cool, but I have to give you my name and email (which I don't care to do) and there is no place for me to give you contact info for the local roaster I'm trying to submit. I then go back to the original signup form and think that I'll try to find some coffee I drink occasionally, just so I can get through the signup process. As I'm scanning the list I see some that I would call extremely common-place - could be bought anywhere - and start to wonder if I'm just not the target audience (even though our household drinks a lot of coffee and we are always interested in variety). Thus, didn't sign up.

    Hey. Thanks for the feedback. We really appreciate it. I think you're right about the contact info. We just want to be able to tell people when we add their request. But it should be optional. Re: the coffee list, I'm sorry that felt alienating. We do include all the most popular coffee companies in the country, but also hundreds of independents and adding more weekly. We think the service works great for any coffee drinker -- you can customize by roast, price, quantity and frequency, and our coffees all come fresh-roasted from independent roasters. So we've got you covered pretty much any way you can imagine.
