About Bonface
The hub is run by a person, not a platform team.
Bonface Mogesi built this because the alternative was another season of introductions made by forwarded email. Everything on the platform — the verification, the listings, the cupping records — exists to replace something that used to be done on trust alone, and broke when it scaled.
How the hub is run.
-
Reviewed before it goes live
Every producer, professional, and listing is checked by a person. Slower than open signup, and the reason the directory is worth opening.
-
No commission on your coffee
The hub does not broker, take a cut, or sit between you and your buyer. Access is a flat fee, so the incentive is to be useful rather than to be in the middle.
-
Your trading data stays yours
Contacts, prices, and cupping records belong to the people who made them. Nothing gets resold as market intelligence.
-
Time spent at origin
The standards on this platform come from drying patios and cupping rooms, not from a product roadmap.
