Brisbane Beanby Collection Point

[Corretto Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Corretto]

I thought I better start this poll to get an accurate response to the question posed at

http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1163654080

to see how many CSs are interested in a Brisbane collection for Beanbay.

at the moment this would possibly be at a CS members house just north of the CBD, so its rather central, and reasonably flexibe as to pick up times as well.

If someone lived further away from your house... the petrol going over there would probably equal the same amount of postage or more to get it at your doorstep. But that just depends where you live. Other people would probably disagree

You have take into account that this isnt just about cheap freight... it is also a chance for some CSrs to get together in person and "chew the beans". You would be amazed at how much learning and sharing happens when a small group of people with a coffee passion can chat freely.

Also, the more the members use the service and the more sponsors that come onboard the freight will continue to get lower.

Andy has hit the fingernails on the head.

Ill be there with bells on, showing off my Lever action, go anywhere powerless PRESSO.

Id also like to see the original corretto and findout why I havent needed to mod my paddle spindle.

Id also like to see Go Barista there with some of his Monsooned Malabar.

We could also vote on weather or not we are as good looking as we appear in text!

I agree, and almost mentioned this in my original bit up the top. Getting together to chat in person can be a rewarding experience.

Im in Everton Park, about 10 kms north of the CBD, Sam.

Re: Brisbane Beanby Collection Point

Andy, Im sure they just add character. Might I suggest dyeing them with coffee?!?!?!

But back to topic, a place in Brisbane would be good for me for the 2 -3 trips a year that I make down to Bris Vegas each year
