# Should I wait until all the samples I want are available and order at once?

We recommend ordering samples as soon as they become available. Waiting for multiple coffees to align increases the risk that popular lots will sell out.

**Why you shouldn't wait:**   
**Limited supply:** We typically only receive 2–3 kg of sample material per lot to distribute across all European and US roasters.   
**No cart reservation:** Adding a sample to your cart does not reserve it—it can still sell out before checkout.

*Pro Tip: If you want to compare multiple coffees side-by-side, order samples as they are available and set aside a small portion of the green sample to roast and cup later alongside incoming arrivals.*
