You know whats up, the reddit blend is ready to roll post here for yours!

Edit: I will pm the first 10 asking for addresses so we can ship out without issues, now spread the word about ROAC!

Edit 2: So far I have

Edit 3:

If we can frontpage this (roughly 350 votes should do it?) then I can double this. If we get a TON of upvotes (like 1k) I can double THAT. So xpost this anywhere you can, its a win win in my book!

Edit 4: Blend will be added this weekend, winners pm me addresses and it goes out monday I will post pics!

Edit 5: Link to the blend http://theoldworldcafe.com/orderRedditBlend.php

Edit 6: I am not sure how 17 people downvoted this, some people apparently do not like free coffee!\

Edit 7: Waiting on bags to be printed for the logo I wanted on these, sorry for delay guys! If you follow me elsewhere you will see a ton of things are going on amid this as well, so hopefully it clams down and I can edit this and post some vids for you all!

Just a heads up, to kick start off the big launch of this I will be giving away 10 lbs to the lower 48 US states of a reddit blend of coffee. The first 10 replies I get on that day is who the coffee will go to, limit one lb per person. If we can get this post to the front page, I will double that and make it 20.

Thats right, I will give away 20 free pounds of coffee with that lovely reddit alien right on the bag in his own special blend of specialty grade direct traded from a small farm coffee if we can front page this. Also, I will make a youtube vid answering any coffee questions for you during the week of Sept 6th (if frontpage). So upvote!

Cheers!

Edit:

To make things a Bit easier/clearer I will be putting up a post on Sept 6th and first 10 in get in, and I may be generous and hand out some more! Make sure you put if it needs ground or not!

Edit 2:

I was working this week and doing a midnight event for a local comic shop (we served coffee all night long for a release), I have been overwhelmed with messages, so to answer a few common ones:

The blend will be up on our site (www.theoldworldcafe.com) to be able to buy. There will be two pricing options, if you buy it for yourself you pay full price, for a RAOC you get a huge discount (about breakeven)

The blend is one of my favorite blends that I have not put on sale as of yet, this occasion felt right to release it.

I will try and put the post up at Midnight EST Sept 6th, unless work keeps me over.

Keep upvoting so we can promote ROAC!

just wanted to inform everyone of the great job they are doing in donating to one another and helping each other out. It has earned us a subreddit of the day this week!

Need people to make us some nice images, and if you cannot offer start requesting!

Inspired by this sub: http://www.reddit.com/r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza/

I have created RAOC! It deeply saddens me when I see people drink low end coffee, I know what goes into that stuff as it is what we DONATE to people to use as chicken bedding. Also, a poor brewer can ruin even the best type of coffee! Let's help others drink a decent cup, as well as help people explore new types of coffee (regions, blends, brewing equipment etc...)

I encourage local roasters to post blends here for reddit to be able to be donated within their area, and people with spare gift cards to share as well. If you are a home roaster, please join in by sending someone a sample of one of your roasts!

Please use the format of [Request] for receiving and [Offer] for donating. Make sure to include the area you are located for donations. It would be ideal to see something like [Request] Robusta Espresso blend in East Canada or [Offer] Yemen Home roast in Northern California!

This idea has been in my head and talked about for a few months now, but I will need some basic help from all of you. I am in need of someone to help make an Alien, a Banner, and I will work on some CSS for this (I am not great but I will manage, edit: Currently struggling to just CHANGE the upvote arrow!). I would like to see us get a list of roasters going on the side among other things! Post any ideas you would like to see here as well!

More to come!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be working on this subreddit a bit after I get through with some construction at work. The roastery I run theoldworldcafe will have the reddit blend up this week, and after that I will work on making sure we can get links going to roasters and equipment on the sidebar and I will put up some general coffee info as well.

Thank you all so much for subbing, I have already gotten messages of coffee and equipment sent so I know its working!

Not trying to advertise or get my own cup of joe, but as a deployed troop, I can tell you that this truly random act is very much appreciated! Everytime I get a cup of joe, I donate a cup of joe... Green Beans Coffee "CoJ" Program

Edit: For clarity and to explain the process, troops refers to all American military members. The CoJ program applies only to deployed members. When you donate a CoJ, it's put into a computer system that assigns the donation to a registered troop - that is, a troop that has signed up on the CoJ website to receive CoJs. The troop selection process is random to the donator. The troop will get notified through email that a CoJ has been "assigned" to them. Then, they can login to the website to redeem the CoJ. When they do, they are given a code that they take to a Green Beans Coffee shop where they will get $2.00 (your donation) off the coffee they purchase. You can look at the Green Beans map on their website and see that they are in all sorts of deployed locations.

Since I made this, I will start it off with my favorite blend! First come first serve!

...jerks

Hi if anyone has any coffee for a dad who is the only one working right now. Because of his shift he doesn't get much sleep with the commute and hours he works. Not enough money right now to purchase any extra items. Thanks for contributing to helping him get to work.. :}

Today was his day off Christmas and he was so tired he fell asleep...

Hello folks,

I'm not sure if this sub is dead or not... but the stay-at-home boredom is hitting me hard and I have a lot more green coffee on hand than I can reasonably drink by myself. I'd love to share with someone who would appreciate it, so just let me know your preferences and I'll roast up a batch!

I have quite a variety of single-origin beans on hand, so if you know a region that you like the flavor of I can probably accommodate. Tell me how dark you like it roasted and whether you have a grinder or if you need me to grind it before I send it your way.

EDIT: I guess the sub isn't dead! I'll cap the offer at 4 people, so at the moment there's still room for two more.

EDIT 2: It looks like that's everyone, I hope I can do this again some time!

Hello gracious RAOCoffee, I really wish I could be the one offering coffee, it feels weird asking for it. I start a new semester next week with early classes every day. I'd love to buy my own coffee but unfortunately, I don't get my "work-study" paycheck until February 15th! Does anyone have some extra beans? I'd be forever grateful!

There’s an app for sharing ☕️ that you might like to check it out. It’s called Nack https://getnack.com/

It’s like a Venmo for coffee. You can send a “coffee” to anyone- it costs $5 and recipients can redeem their “coffee” for a $5 gift card and can choose from national and local coffee shops (they can buy anything from the menu- not just coffee).

Hi. I buy and sell gift cards and use the profits to help people out.

Right now I have more than enough Starbucks gift cards, so I'd like to gift a few to yall.

I'm currently working on how to make this a legitimate non profit where I can actually make a difference even if its just a cup of coffee.

I started about a month ago when I saw a homeless guy searching through the trashcan in front of starbucks. Person after person just walked by as if it was nothing. I felt horrible knowing that I was going to go in to "treat" myself while this guy was out here starving.

anyways I'll be gifting 5 people $5 to Starbucks.

If you could like my page that would be cool. If not ¯_(ツ)_/¯

First off, I am shocked we have close to 700 subs in the short time we have been up!

With the holidays coming up very soon, I saw we spread the joy and try to reach 1k subs on this sub! Spread the word, I am sure people will have leftover coffee after the family leaves and before the new year kicks in and would happily let others share in the caffeine!

Glinda and I have become friends over time, she has been quite active in our subreddit. She sent my wife and I some Christmas goodies:))) Included was an awesome coffee maker, with a built in grinder, and some bags of coffee beans.

One of those bags had a Reddit logo on it, and I tried it first, and loved it!!!! It is AWESOME!!! I asked Glinda where she got it, and she told me...... :)))

oldworldcafe, thank you !!! From a dude named John, and a mod at r/Random_Acts_of_Pizza

You do great work!!!!

The internet, and the world, is better with you both in it.

Thanks both of you!!!!

Random acts of coffee needs some flare, upvote arrows an alien a banner a background etc... etc... etc.. Please pm me if you or someone you know is able. I will be working this week to edit and bring this page up to par, all help is appreciated!

Just joined the subreddit. :) I've been in love with coffee since I was young. The smell, the flavor..it's all so great. However, this is only with store-bought coffees (mostly Bi-Lo and Walmart). I feel as though I'm not getting the true experience of coffee.

What are some of the better coffees and coffee brewers that you suggest?

I'm exhausted and trying to finish this semester with all A's. Hence the exhaustion.
