Roaster Partnership — Brew Samplers Club

Partner With Brew Samplers Club

We're building something special — a curated coffee subscription experience that introduces members to exceptional specialty roasters across the country. And we'd love to feature you.

This page outlines everything you need to know about how our roaster partnership works, what we provide, what we need from you, and how the economics are structured. If it sounds like a fit, you can confirm your interest below. If you have questions, we'd love to schedule a call.

What Brew Samplers Club Provides

When you partner with BSC, we handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on what you do best — roasting great coffee.

  • ☕ Customer acquisition — We introduce your coffee to subscribers who are actively seeking new specialty roasters
  • 📦 Curated sampling — Your coffee is featured in our monthly subscription boxes alongside hand-selected roasters
  • 🛒 Online product sales — We list and promote your products through our storefront, driving direct sales back to you
  • 📣 Marketing & promotion — We promote participating roasters through our email list, social media, and event presence
  • 🎪 Events — We feature roaster products at local events, handling setup, presentation, customer interaction, sampling, and payment processing
  • 🤝 Long-term wholesale relationship — As our membership grows, so does your exposure and order volume

How the Partnership Works

1. Sample Packs

Each month, BSC members receive curated 4 oz. sample packs from featured roasters. Our target sample cost is $2.00 per 4 oz. pre-packaged sample. We understand that every roaster's cost structure is different, and we're open to discussing pricing that works for both sides — especially for higher-end specialty offerings.

Sample requirements:

  • 4 oz. pre-packaged, sealed samples
  • Roaster-branded labeling
  • Coffee name/variety clearly labeled
  • Roast date or freshness information included
  • Suitable for direct customer distribution

2. Online Product Sales

BSC earns a 12% commission on the retail price of qualifying products sold through our platform, calculated before customer discounts and excluding shipping and tax.

Example: A $25 bag of coffee generates $3.00 to BSC — while you gain a new customer who discovered you through our community.

3. Events

BSC will participate in local events where we will introduce attendees to independent roasters through coffee samples, complimentary cups, and retail sales. Because event space will be limited, we will typically feature three roasters per event, giving each roaster a dedicated opportunity to showcase their coffee and connect with potential customers.

Roasters can participate using one of two sales models:

  • Option A — Event Seller Model: BSC promotes and sells your coffee at the event. You do not need to provide regular-size retail inventory upfront. When a customer places an order, BSC collects the payment and sends the order details to you. You fulfill and ship the order directly to the customer. BSC retains 25% of event sales, and you receive 75%.
  • Option B — Wholesale Event Model: You provide regular-size bags to BSC at 40% below your retail price. BSC purchases the inventory and brings it to the event, allowing customers to purchase and take the coffee home immediately. BSC handles the sales and retains the difference between your wholesale price and the retail selling price.

4. Initial Event Inventory

Regardless of which sales option you choose, we ask participating roasters to provide coffee for sampling and event promotion:

  • 15 sample packs — 3 varieties × 5 samples each
  • Coffee for complimentary cups — enough coffee to serve free cups to event attendees
  • Coffee for promotional samples — a small additional quantity that BSC can use to provide samples or giveaways, particularly for customers who place an order
  • Option B only: 10 regular-size bags — ideally featuring the same three varieties being sampled. These bags are the retail inventory BSC will have available for customers to purchase at the event.

The sample and complimentary coffee is used to introduce attendees to your products and encourage purchases. The regular-size bags in Option B are the actual products available for immediate purchase at the event.

This is intended to be a small initial test, not a large upfront commitment. The goal is to give attendees an opportunity to taste your coffee, discover your brand, and purchase products while giving both BSC and the roaster an opportunity to evaluate the partnership.

Launch Timeline

Brew Samplers Club officially launches in January 2027. Initial inventory quantities will be based on active membership and wait-list enrollment at launch. Additional inventory will be requested as demand grows.

We ask interested roasters to confirm participation by December 1, 2026 so we can coordinate initial inventory, marketing, and event scheduling.
