Zapty you rock man!
I'll check out the German sites.

Greek importers present 3 problems: they won't give small quantities, they don't have good quality (only cheap quality), and they are 300 km away.

Yeah Blackice, what is your location, I thought it was somewhere in Greece?

It's Athens Greece which is 300km from Thessaloniki. I've been searching for green bean in Athens for some time with not satisfying results. I now have 3 Greek sources. I mostly use the 2 of them.

and why for a source in either DE or CH? I know you can also get quite a variety of greens from a well-known coffee house in Vienna and my favourite UK supplier.

I want to check out these countries too. Germany and Switzerland are powerful coffee trade countries. Germany is closer than UK. I have to pay ~14,5 euro per 1kg of green beans from UK (if I buy 6kg). I pay 8 euro in Greece. I've also found someone to supply me with quality Brazil and Uganda beans, in wholesale prices ~3 euro per kg!!!

I want to find India Monsooned Malabar, Sumatra, and Sulawesi beans. I've also found that Costa Rican beans are sweet and blend nice for espresso. I can't find these beans here.

Well, I'm not fluent in German either but she offers the rohkaffee (raw coffee) from the roasted version and they will be cheaper than the roasted version. You just have to contact them by phone or email to enquire. Be sure to mention that you were referred there from this site :)
