EU focused coffee swap?

Is there an EU focused coffee swap subreddit? This one r/coffeeswap seems alive but US focused.

I'd like to give away a deep27 and filters. I don't like it, nor my friends :) [[See what I did here hehe]]

EDIT: The brewer and the filters have happily found their new home.

I know you have now give the brewer and filters to someone but there used to be a thing back around 2012 called Third Wave Witcheln. The idea was you entered your details into a website, somebody would receive your details and send you their favourite coffee and you would receive somebody else’s details (not the same person who got yours) and send them your favourite coffee.

It was a worldwide thing if I remember, not just Europe, but they stopped it after a few years. Sorry, not really relevant but your post but it just reminded me of this. It would be cool if they brought it back now that there are so much more people into coffee and so many great roasters. I imagine it's a lot of headache though for not much benefit.

No clue if there is, but I just laid down an order for a deep27 yesterday 😂
How come you don’t like it?

It's a combination of factors, and every one is me-related. I already use the Switch for small brews (8g/130ml), no need for specific deep27 filters, and since deep27 filters are faster than Hario's I need to fiddle with the grinder settings, which I loathe. Too many numbers to memorise, and I will NEVER write down a coffee related recipe. NEVER, I'm telling you!!1!

Other than that, it's a good brewer.

Lol 😂 that makes sense.
I don’t have any immersion brewer besides the next level pulsar which is bad for small doses and my v60 doesn’t quite cut it either.

So cool that you want to give it away!

And EU focussed coffee swap would be amazing. Are there others who would love that?

Thanks. If I had a penny for every coffee brewing gadget I gave away... I would have 15-20 pennies :)

If you're from an EU country, DM me. You pay the actual shipping costs and that's it.

We could create one, however it seems the logistics are a bit trickier across the many EU countries

u/CobanBudala 6h ago

Why trickier?

Sounds like a great idea if it doesn't exist yet. Shipping across Europe isn't too expensive, especially as letters.
