How it works
From a sample on your cupping table to sacks at your door.
- Join the green market free.
- Browse lots by origin, process, variety, cup score and price per kilo.
- Request free samples and cup them.
- Order the weight you want. Pay by card or bank transfer.

Origin and roaster lots are sold to you by Roastnet. Importer lots are sold and invoiced by the importer. A lot from origin ships when the grower closes it.
Free samples
Cup before you commit.
Samples on origin lots and roaster lots are free: Roastnet holds the sample stock and posts it to you. If a lot has no samples in stock, request one anyway and it ships as soon as new samples arrive.
- 01Free samples on origin and roaster lots.
- 02Importer samples come straight from the importer.
- 03Request a sample even when stock is out: it goes out on the next check-in.
Bought on sample
What arrives matches what you cupped.
Roaster lots are sold on sample. If the coffee does not match the reference sample, raise it within 48 hours of delivery: an upheld claim means the coffee is collected and you are refunded in full.

Questions
What people ask us.
- Are the samples really free?
- Yes, on origin lots and roaster lots. Roastnet holds the samples and pays the postage. Importers send their own samples, on their own terms.
- Who am I buying from?
- On origin and roaster lots you buy from Roastnet. On importer lots you buy from the importer, who invoices you directly.
- How do lots from origin work?
- You commit the bags you want and pay Roastnet in full. The lot ships when the grower closes it, after an independent inspection at origin, and you follow every step to delivery. If the lot does not ship, because it passes its sell-by date or fails inspection, you are refunded in full.
- How do I pay?
- By card or bank transfer. Delivery is booked once payment is received.
- How does delivery work?
- Roastnet delivers origin and roaster lots to you. For importer lots, the importer arranges delivery, or you book it with Roastnet.
- What if the coffee does not match the sample?
- On roaster lots, raise a claim within 48 hours of delivery. Upheld claims are collected and refunded in full.
- Is it the same in every country?
- No. Free samples, lots from origin and Roastnet delivery run in the markets where Roastnet offers them. Elsewhere roasters buy from importers and each other directly, with no Roastnet fee. Use the market switcher to see yours.
- What does it cost?
- Joining the green market is free. You pay for the coffee you order and for delivery.
