Looking for a roaster that ships to Israel without drama

[Moisture 2000]

Brewer and filter: Kalita Wave 185 stainless; Kalita 185 paper
Grinder, burr and calibration: Fellow Ode Gen 2; Gen 2 flat burrs; 5.1; chirp point checked
Bean, roaster, process and roast date: Guatemala Huehuetenango; Onyx Coffee Lab; washed; roast date 2026-08-04
Dose and water mass: 15.0 g coffee; 240 g water
Temperature and water profile: 96°C; Lotus-style remineralized distilled water, moderate hardness / low alkalinity
Pour/agitation schedule: 52 g bloom for 40 s, then three pours; no stirring after bloom
Drawdown time: 3:45
Expected and perceived flavour: expected berry sweetness; perceived cup is sharp at first and hollow as it cools
Changes already tested: changed filter paper and repeated the same recipe

This started with one good bag and has become a small research project. I care about roast freshness, consistency and whether the coffees are easy to dial in on ordinary filter gear. Reports from Israel are especially useful.

Recent Israel report: my last order arrived within the normal window for domestic/import delivery and the roast date was recent enough that I still rested it before brewing. The useful part was consistency across two bags, not one spectacular cup.

Also in Israel, but my order was a few months ago, so treat this as older evidence. Shipping was fine and the coffee opened up after about two weeks. I would still want a newer report before subscribing.

Please say roast date when you post a roaster review. ‘Fresh’ has become an adjective with no legal guardian. Hope that helps.

I would rather know which coffee you finished than which bag photographed well.

Foreign and older report, so this belongs lower in the pile. The coffee itself was excellent, but transit changed the resting window enough that my recipe notes are probably not portable to your order.

If you are ordering one bag internationally, the shipping cost becomes a tasting note.
