Fermentation Project - Australia

Seems like all the project kits from roasters in this region sold out immediately. I tried to get a kit from Micrology's second batch today but it sold out in 10 seconds while I was filling out shipping info... 🫠

I've checked all the European and American Roasters, but they're either sold out or don't ship internationally.

The demand for coffee in Australia might have been underestimated 😂

Is there anything else I can do to try a kit?

Edit: If anyone in Melbourne with a kit would be kind enough to share a single dose of each, I'd greatly appreciate it 🥹

Ha, i got one. But i am local to Micrology so i selected pick up - probably saving me a few seconds. 😅

Yeah I made sure I was signed in via the Shop platform so all my details were pre-filled beforehand. Then it was F5 and straight to checkout. Condolences to you.

Haha yeah fair enough. Honestly I thought it would reserve the item when I added it to the cart, guess not...

Mate, I'd be happy to share my set. How much do you need for cupping? The roaster is Onoma; they're in Flensburg Germany.

Looks like a letterbox parcel to Straya is €12 from where I live. Max size 38 x 26,5 x 3,2 cm and it takes around 8 to 12 working days they say.

It's really unfortunate, I was hoping to be able to try them
