TD, I am sorry you were disapointed but get over it, really. Is it a matter of life and death if you miss out on what you really wanted? Seriously mate, on a scale of one to ten of lifes priorities it isnt on the scale.

;D ;D For something that isnt a matter of "life and death" you sure didnt muck around getting your order in quick smart though!!! (just stirring haha)

;D ;D I was quick, basically because I was doing two orders as I was ordering for myself and another person so I had to move pretty fast to be able to get both in.

I also was fair and didnt Bogart the PNG as I knew it would be popular so I just took the minimum. I may pick up some more next bean bay - depending on what else is there.

The Bali and the Ethiopian were the most expensive beans (apart from Yemen) on the beanbay. Whats wrong with em TD, they sound great

Hi rowdee, thanks for the offer, but Ill see how I go in the next round first. But thanks anyway.

Fine T.D., plenty of resources within the group when you have a need, that is what it is all about.

Same day?

A few days for me......... but Im cool... have chewed all of my finger nails off though.... still have plenty of other coffee from previous orders... theres just no way of getting over the anticipation of another shipment... adrenaline running quite high........

Maybe its all the ethiopian yirgacheffe Ive been putting away today, I tell you that is one very exciting coffee especially if not over roasted just into second crack thats all then cool instantly.... yummy...

Ray.

try a couple of hours... just arrived ;D

man i love this site

edit: how does one roast the yemen i.e. what level of roast - full city +?

Re: Next BeanBay - Wednesday June 27th - 9pm AEST

You sound like another Ethiopian convert Ray.  Easily the best coffees on the planet (but dont tell everyone)


Good to see the Melbourne courier is on his game Andrew.  They do a great job (and he is CoffeeSnob Brown fan which Im sure helps)!

Roasting the Yemen?  Like all our beans experiment to find where YOU think it works best but...

Long and slow (tis a very dense bean) aim for 1st crack at about the 14 minute mark then flatten the heat from 1st to second crack for 3-4 minutes.  How far you go into 2nd will determine the balance of wine/berry/chocolate (in that order). Aim for a CS10 but a CS9 will work fine too.

Get this one right and it will blow your socks off.

andy youre a star

yeah the courier is damn fast, they must be high on your beans!

i forgot to get a card :-[ didnt get any beans last time and forgot to request it, otherwise i would use the CS colour matcher!

thanks for getting back so fast, will get roasting.. 8-)

There truely is no sound sweeter then when the express post courier launches a 5kg bag at your front security door at birds fart in the morning! (mind you this is after you realise it wasnt a 4WD drive coming thru said door!)
Thats how I woke up today, wondering wtf was that, racing to front door 6D maglite in hand to see mr posty did his usual launch from a distance delivery!
Im sure he does this deliberatley :P
Thanks for a fast delivery Andy

thanks Andy

Re: Next BeanBay - Wednesday June 27th - 9pm AEST

Thats one rude postie Steve. Our Aust Post parcel lady comes at 8:30... no need for a maglite!

New stickers Rollo? Yes, we HAD to change them again and this time I think we have the right ones (and process) so they should stay the same for a while to come (we bought thousands of em so they have to work now!)

Re: Next BeanBay - Wednesday June 27th - 9pm AEST

Andy the yemen had opened and was lucky that the tiger had remained on, those wire doodats are great. I think my poor pack was treated with Aussie Posts "utmost care" sorry to anyone who works there I just have a bad posty. My partner gets stuff delivered from work and his favorite trick is to leave them near the door so you cant open the front security door without doing an odd contortion act to move it so you can get the bloody door open,
Im going to catch him Thursday morning for her next drop off....
Maglite in hand,
just got my haircut so might dig out my auscams and try an look mean and pi$$ed off....
And "greet him"
But thats another story, Im just happy I got more beans for my 24 kilo stash and still want more!!!

Re: Next BeanBay - Wednesday June 27th - 9pm AEST

Thanks once again for a great service, Andy - especially for the extra effort involved in the smaller-than-usual Yemen lot.
