Does that mean Germans can buy uncensored games now?

You can also check out Blinkist - they summarize business/finance/self help books to 10-15 short key insights. It's pretty cool (Disclaimer: I worked for them, but actually mean it): http://blinkist.com

I wouldn't be so sure. A bunch of Android developers are severely hurt from being stuck with Java 7. I'd expect many production apps to be written in Kotlin pretty soon, about as fast as the switch from Objective-C to Swift went.

Finally, how do we deal with our monolith? We decided to treat it as if it was a (very large) microservice.

Judging from your team size (3 engineers on the team page), this is probably still a very normal-sized microservice :)

Hey dignati,

sure thing, can you write me an email at hannes@kaffeebitte.com?

Hey Marius, yeah, we ship 250g packages!

Yep, all our packages have the roasting date on the label. The German post delivers over night in the vicinity of Berlin and in 1-2days elsewhere in Germany. We usually send the coffee out on the same day it arrives from the roasters.

actually, the email address I found doesn't seem to work anymore – would you mind writing me at hannes@kaffeebitte.com? Thanks!

Hey Andor, great points, thanks for the feedback!

1. Yeah, we should make that clearer. We ship every Thursday, I think that's only mentioned in the FAQ currently.

2. You can actually pause your account on your profile page. We're still adding features there, but will add a section explaining the possibilities on the home page soon. We're also not primarily targeting offices, but optimize for ordering coffee to your home.

3. Good catch about the specialty coffee. I'm not sure "Spezialitätenkaffee" is a thing in German though. We tried to use it in a blog post, but people didn't really seem to understand what it's about when asked. Will try to sprinkle it in anyway, I wasn't aware that it's not mentioned on the homepage.

The branding is tricky, indeed. It's probably easier to catch the attention of enthusiasts with the original bags – I do think though that the amount of people that know the specific roasteries is not super big, especially outside of Berlin. On the other side, we really believe that consistency and ubiquity of our brand is important. We might explore that a bit more when adding more roasters.

4. It's a cup of filter coffee :) Maybe it would help to have a Chemex standing next to it to make it clearer. Or instead, a nice flat white with latte art.

5. Yeah, that was a common feedback. We'll experiment with that.

6. They are! And they're great people.

Thanks again! We got some really good feedback on HN today, much appreciated.

We're working on it, yeah! You can follow us on Twitter for updates: @KaffeeBitteNews

Unfortunately, no :( But we'll be shipping outside of Germany soon, so stay tuned! For updates, you can follow us on Twitter @KaffeeBitteNews.

Hey, no, I didn't see it! I'll get in touch via email, exciting :)

Good point, I'll find that out. Thanks!

That sounds cool, could you point me to the site?

Thanks tckr!

Thanks, that's great feedback! In the beginning we thought, that the German word for subscription has a negative connotation, so we tried to rather call it "continuous delivery". But I agree, it's a lot better to just be really clear about everything. We're working on improving the messaging in that regard.

It is pricey, but it's also really great coffee, that is imported and roasted in small batches with lots of love :) The compensation is passed through to the producer, so everybody gets a fair amount of money – the prices the farmers get are a multiple of the normal fair trade prices, and decoupled from the world market prices because of the higher quality.

I do enjoy the burgers, whenever I can handle standing in line for a while, haha :)

Yeah, I know them! Their roast is quite different from what our roasters usually do. You should give us a try :) You can cancel your subscription anytime without notice. You'll get 20% off your first three packs with the code 'hackernews'.

That's great to hear :) I love coffee from Sweden, some of the swedish roasters/cafés are very high on my to do list for my next short trip.

Indeed! We actually know the Pact guys – they're doing a terrific job in the UK.

Hi Spindritf, sorry, we don't have an English site yet, as we currently only deliver within Germany. I'd be glad to help you with any questions though, just ask here or send me an email to hannes@kaffeebitte.com.

Thanks! I only know the Sonntagmorgen guys from their videos, but they seem to be really nice.

Nice, thanks und danke :)

We offer coffees from a couple of German specialty roasters (currently Bonanza/Berlin and JB/Schwabhausen with a couple more coming soon), so we have a much greater variety.

Apart from that, our focus really lies on convenience for the customer. That means letterbox-friendly packages, outstanding customer support and additional value through recommendations. For example, we can advise you a coffee based on your brew method.

You're welcome :)

If you'd like to try it, you'll get 20% off your first three bags with the code 'hackernews'!

Yeah, they have some good stuff!

yes! No more circular imports because of signal receivers being added to models.py. Super excited about this.

Shameless plug: We're currently setting up a similar thing in Berlin, Germany: https://kaffeebitte.de

We're in Beta, but shipping already (also to individuals), so if you're interested, get in touch!
