The route

Four stops, one swap

1 First contact

DM me on Instagram

Message me from an open account. I reply with my address. No address is ever typed into this site.

2 Outbound

Post a bag from your country

Mail one sealed bag, 200–250 g, of specialty coffee from a roaster near you. Put your return address on the parcel, that's what I'll send back to.

3 Arrival

It lands in Belgrade

Your coffee reaches me. I read the return address printed on the box. That closes the loop.

4 Return leg

Serbian coffee flies back

I post a 200–250 g bag of specialty coffee roasted here in Serbia straight to your return address.

The human behind the swap

Hey, I'm Roman

I live in Belgrade, Serbia, and yeah, coffee runs my whole day. V60 every single morning, and a real soft spot for bags I've never tried before.

This started as a small itch: I wanted to taste what people actually brew in other countries, not the supermarket stuff, but the local roaster two streets from your place. So I figured, why not just swap?

You mail me a bag from your corner of the world, I mail you specialty coffee from mine, and we both end up with a new favourite and a tiny story attached to it. That's the whole project.

FAQ

You message me on Instagram from an open account, I send you my address privately, you mail a bag of coffee from your country with your return address on the parcel, and I post a 200–250 g bag of Serbian coffee back to that return address.

For safety, no addresses are collected on this site. I reply using the return address printed on the parcel you send, which is why that return address is required.

The lot is one sealed 200–250 g bag, both ways. You send 200–250 g, you get 200–250 g of specialty coffee roasted in Belgrade back. No less, no more, one bag for one bag.

Each side covers their own postage. You pay to send your bag to me, I pay to send Serbian coffee back to you.

Anywhere the post reaches. The whole point is collecting coffee from as many countries as possible, so the more far-flung, the better.

Yes: it should be specialty coffee from a roaster near you, a sealed bag you genuinely like. No supermarket or commodity coffee. The local roaster two streets from your place is exactly the idea.
