CoffeeSnobs News and GREEN BeanBay - 17th June

Re: CoffeeSnobs News and GREEN BeanBay - 17th June

I had a years supply of greens in the cupboard and didnt need any just yet ... then I find out theres some Yirg on offer ... so Beanbay time finds me glued to the computer snapping up "just one wee bag" in the first minute.

It must be a Coffeesnobs law that however large your bean stash is, it always needs just one more variety to complete it (until next month).

Im addicted, but loving it!

I clicked on the Beanbay button at 8:58 and it wasnt open yet. Clicked on it at 9:02pm and the yirg I was after was GONE!!! I didnt know there was a second wave of the yirg so I missed out on that too... At least I got the Decaf.

I was busy studying last night and totally forgot about bean bay.

When I remembered this morning, I was pleased to see there was still some tea left, which was what I was after anyway. I would have liked some more yirg for my stash, but there is always next time and I have plenty of other nice beans to last me for a while yet.

For those of you who are angry you missed out, it is only a bean bay, there are more important things in life.

So much wasted energy on being angry.

Gee thats nice -- the haves (people with stashes) lecturing the maybe have-nots (people down to their last 500g)?

Or is it only idiots like me that let their green stocks run down before thinking about getting more? Wont happen again, I promise.

Thanks Andy for a great Bean Bay.
The offerings were spectacular with something to please everyone, as long as you were quick!
I wanted some Yirg, but missed out on that as I went for the Cocoa first, then back for the Yirg, but by then none left. I then tried for some Wahgi AA but same story.
Went away to pay for the Cocoa and to lick my wounds. I must be losing my touch!
Thought Id go back to have a look to see what was left and low and behold there is a considerable amount of Wahgi AA there but no Yirg. Helped myself to some Wahgi. Thanks Andy for topping up the beans. You will see 2 orders there for me.

Cheers.
Alan

Well first live Bean Bay for me WOW ! Cheers Andy  

Got to be quick though especially when your across the ditch......if it wasnt for the flippin shipping costs Id get a suitcase full.

Also my 1st bean bay. Thought I might just observe what everyone was doing by looking at how fast certain beans were being snaffled up.  

Got caught up in the "feeding frenzy" and found I couldnt resist - next thing I know I have bought 15kg of various beans and 1kg of the chocolate.

Dont even own a roaster yet -

Nice one "DickieKnee" you made my night  ;D

Cheers

Twas 8:30pm and I was startin to twitch....
Opened Green Beanbay..and prayed for no glitch.

Congratulated myself for being smart and getting ready....
9:00pm draws closer,.hands on keyboard held steady.

But what happened then?,.things were going so well....
A lapse in concentration as I heard my son yell.

"Mum will help me here,.Ive paid and downloaded this game....
but with all the tweaks Ive tried,.. its still crashing the same".

It would take just a minute to fix so I thought....
to relieve sons angry outburst, over something he bought.

My head in full tweak mode,...33mins slipped by....
Suddenly remembered Green Beanbay..it was 9:30 *heavy sigh*

Alas what I wanted, Yirg and Hot Choc was all out....
"Darn your stupid Garys Mod game".. to my son, I did shout!

*snif*

I wsnt lecturing. Just stating a fact. All to often some members have come on here and gotten a bit upset because they have missed out on a certain bean or whatever.

I have missed beanbay in the past and last night forgot (like Remy, caught up in something else).

Its all wasted energy on something that is not that important compared to say cancer or wondering where the next meal is coming from.

Sometimes these things need to be put into perspective.

If anyones having second thoughts about the Yirg or the PNG Wahgi, do put them up on the classifieds, will you... Even if its the odd kilo or so...

Id think there will be good quantities of Yirg next month. Andy did say that this was just a "look" at the current crop. It was guaranteed to go in the blink of an eye.

With over 200kg of great greens still available, its not as if there are no options. The Aussie beans are always well worth a look as well...Grab a bag or two, perhaps even split it with some buddies to keep the $$$ down and you get to try some rare, high quality stuff.

Re: CoffeeSnobs News and GREEN BeanBay - 17th June

Hmm. Lucking out on beanbay is not as bad as having cancer.

This is true.

As a change of topic, whats with the robusta? Is this mainly for blending, or is it good in its own right?
