FAQs
What makes Bridging Tables different then a green coffee importer?
That’s a wonderful question. Bridging Tables can replace or complement your relationship with importers. It’s up to you.
Our purpose and mission is to unlock market access for farmers by making the coffee supply chain more efficient and durable. This, of course, involves importing coffee to deliver to roasters but also so much more.
If you’re a roaster, you’ll have access to pre-financing for higher volumes of coffee than possible with typical small importers. You’ll also gain direct access to farmers through our platform. And we’re building the tools you need to better manage your inventory and ensure you’re receiving samples in time for the next harvest in your origin of choice. Have an idea of how we can help? Share it!
If you’re a farmer, you’ll get paid sooner and better. Bridging Tables pays farmers within days of a trade, rather than weeks. You’ll also receive a better price for your coffee by selling directly to the roaster rather than a washing station or mill. Our team will ensure your coffee gets to export facilities efficiently. We'll also do a quality test before shipment. And we’ll notify you when it arrives at its destination.
If you’re a service provider, washing station, mill, or exporter then you’ll get paid by Bridging Tables for services rendered. That means a lot less risk on your part when moving specialty coffee through the supply chain.

Does Bridging Tables offer pre-financing for roasters and if so, how much?
We’re so glad you asked! Yes, we are indeed bringing buy-now-pay-later to specialty coffee trade. We believe access to financing is key for small and medium roasters to offer competitive quality and source directly from origin. So we’ve made access to innovative, reliable, and substantial financing core to what we offer at Bridging Tables.
Qualified roasters will be able to finance up to $5 million in green coffee purchases.

How does Bridging Tables work with farmers?
We work with farmers the absolute best way we know how: Directly. Our purpose and mission at Bridging Tables is to unlock market access for the farmers that make enjoying specialty coffee possible. To this end, we have team members or partners in every origin country and empower farmers to communicate directly with our team as well as with the roasters who buy their coffee.
By leveraging smartphone technology and integrated messaging, farmers keep us up-to-date on harvest times, quantities, and conditions. Roasters will get notified as soon as samples are available for shipping. When a roaster wants to buy coffee, the farmer is notified and can approve or reject the offer. The farmer and roaster can also haggle on price, if they want to.
Bridging Tables also empowers farmers through a growing network of partners, education, and other tools needed to sustain and grow small and medium shareholder specialty coffee farms.
Does Bridging Tables offer origin trips?
We’re happy you asked because we hope you’ll come on one! We host origin trips several times a year. You can get in touch to learn more about those here.
In addition to bringing roasters to farmers, we also bring farmers to cupping events. Did you know that some farmers have never tasted their own coffee? If you’d like updates about our featured farmer cupping events, please let us know and we’ll reach out when the next one is scheduled.
How can I order a sample of coffee from Bridging Tables?
All you need to do to get a sample is select from the coffee available today that interests you and share a little bit of information with us. We’ll ship a sample directly to you.
