The CoesterVMS Order Exchange was developed to afford competent appraisers fair access to review available assignments following the initial assignment period.
All orders placed through CoesterVMS enter an assignment process which selects a pool appraisers based on their experience, credentials, and market knowledge, as well as previous assignment data. Once the pool is compiled, selected appraisers receive an opportunity to accept the assignment in a rotation depicted in the flow chart below:
Assignments cease once the eligible pool of appraisers is contacted. In many areas, the final 2 rounds are not utilized.
In the event no appraisers accept the assignment through this process, the order enters an “Unassigned” status. Previously, CoesterVMS staff would manually contact applicable appraisers, either via telephone, email, or both to inquire about their availability to accept the assignment.
With release of the Order Exchange, all orders not assigned through the initial process are made available for review, acceptance or modification in the Cloud Control System at vendors.coestervms.com.
If no appraiser accepts an order during the initial assignment process, all available appraisers will receive an email notification indicating the order is now available for review in the Order Exchange. Upon logging in at vendors.coestervms.com, the Cloud Control System will display the Order Exchange, rather than the Main page by default when new orders are available:
The Order Exchange will default the New Orders tab upon loading the page. This tab reflects all orders which have not been responded to by the logged in appraiser. The View link in the Action column opens up a pop up window displaying the order details and scope of work for the assignment:
The sections below detail the steps for completing both options, as well as the subsequent actions by CoesterVMS.
Click the Accept option to proceed with the current order details and scope of work for the assignment. Upon successful acceptance, the window will display the following confirmation:
The Modify option allows appraisers to submit a request to modify the fee or due date of the assignment based on their review of the property and scope of work. To initiate the modification request process, click Modify, then follow the steps below:
o NOTE: Modification Reasons are managed by CoesterVMS and may vary from the above pictured selections
Based on the selected Modification Reason, fields corresponding to the fee and due date will populate to the Modification Request Menu. Enter the fee and/or due date required to proceed with the assignment
Following submission of a Modification Request, the assignment will be sent to the Pending Orders tab in the Order Exchange and assigned CoesterVMS staff members will review the content of the request. Modifications will either be Accepted or Declined by CoesterVMS after review of each request’s requirements.
If a request is accepted, the Cloud Control System will also take the following actions following acceptance:
If a request is declined, the submitted appraiser will receive notice of the declination and the assignment will be removed from the Pending Orders tab in the Order Exchange.
We will be doing reviews on a regular basis, on a wide variety of topics that all relate to coffee in some way. While our focus is on gourmet beans, we are also interested in the history of coffee, on health issues, on the science behind the perfect cup, on reviews of brewing equipment, and many more topics.
We will allow guest bloggers if you have something interesting to say, so send us an email with your proposal.

With so much of the coffee market adding milk to their coffee we have an area to discuss milk types and texturing techniques.
Nothing to do with coffee except it might be something that you would discuss over your favourite brew.
Talk about your coffee grinders, electric and manual, blade grinder, flat burr and conical burr coffee grinders.
Any non Espresso brew method from Drip Filter, Syphon or Vacuum, Plunger, Ibrik, Stovetop, Mocha Pot, Aeropress, Cold Press, Percolator, Presso or any other mad scientist process that doesn't have a pump and boiler combined.
Entry level (sub $500) domestic appliances that you would expect to find in the kitchen section of whitegoods stores. You can get a pretty good coffee from machines in this category if you use fresh coffee and dose/tamp well.
Midrange ($500-$1500) machines will produce a better coffee and generally a lot more usable steam making milk texturing far easier. Matched with a good grinder your coffee will be great.
Pointy End ($1500-$3000) will find machines that are capable of making espresso at the same time that you are texturing milk. This end of the market also tends to get some real design flair and lot and lots of shiny stainless. Mostly the machines in this category are direct descendants of Cafe class machines.
Extreme Machines ($3000+) is the very serious end of the home espresso machine market. Some of the machines you will find in here would be comfortable in just about any cafe on the planet and most will have similar installation requirements (plumbing, maintenance etc). Most CoffeeSnobs drool over the very pretty toys in this category.
Or maybe he changed the burrs just because he was over the top concerned about perfection, and when it didn’t make any noticeable different... upgraditis set in... I had a laugh

Hey so I just got a 4 yr old K30 Air as an upgrade from my Super Jolly. Came across it on ebay for under $1k and thought "yep that'll do". The owner says it's only been used for home use, and he...
