About Echoes of the Peak Auction
ALO’s debut auction features 20 lots processed using 8 distinct techniques. Each lot comes from a single-farm and is selected for its unique terroir. All coffee in this auction is of a single variety 74158 with minimal processing intervention. Extended fermentations are avoided, with slow drying chosen to preserve the purest expression of origin. This is a celebration of high-altitude coffee, craft, and the diversity of processing at the heart of ALO.

FAQ’s
How does the auction operate, including rules and features?
Bidders must create an account and register for each auction in which they would like to participate. Some auctions require a registration fee, and some do not. Sample sets are available for purchase for each auction. Procuers select the style and duration of their auction, but all specialty coffee auctions allow for bidding to occur on each lot simultanesouly, meaning that you do not have to wait to place a bid on any lot during the auction. When the clock on the auction counts down to zero, whoever has placed the last, highest bid on a particular lot wins that lot and is responsible for purchasing the entire lot. This auction is a 36-hour auction, which means that there is an "open" bidding period for the first 36 hours. After that initial open bidding period, the clock will start and count down from 3 minutes. If there is a bid during that 3 min period, then the clock will restart. If the time on the clock runs out (when there are 0 minutes and seconds remaining) before there is a new bid, the auction will end.
