    Re: BeanBay pickup thread - September 2008

    My beans arrived today, here in WA which I am really pleased about - as we are heading away next week and I had visions of my beans sitting outside all week!

    Discovered my parcel guy is a budding barista - he was very interested in the beans! Might have to roast him a batch to keep on his good side. 8-)

      Good stuff Geoff.

      Half the staff at the local business mail centre are called "satchel squeezers".  We have caught them bear-hugging the roasted satchels to get  the one way valves to release aroma of the roasted beans on more than one occasion.

      We did a show and tell with green beans too as they were all curious why the heavy ones (green) didnt smell great when hugged.


      My POST delivery guy has asked me why my coffees smelled so crap now compare to before, when I explained it to him that they are green beans and not roasted; He told me to start ordering roasted again as he was getting such a kick out of the Aroma. ;D ;D

      If there can be a pick up from NUNU for the next beanbay pick up itll be fantastic, as I live in Epping which is just next door to Carlingford.
      Pagewood is a bit far for me, but since I go to Coffeeparts quite often theres no problems. Probably can pick up a burr set for the Superjolly @ work.

          Looking forward to heading into the West End in Brisbane to pickup my beans from Veneziano and seeing their new premises. I have arranged to meet up with DickieKnee, who is coming from the Gold Coast at around 10-30, so hope the beans will be there by then. If not, I guess well just have to try some of the coffee if its going.   Maybe catch up with some other CSrs there if youre free that morning

          KK, I think you might be just around the corner?

          Cheers

              Hi KK,

              Were looking at this Friday 26th if First Pour Brisbane is open and beans have arrived.

                See you all on Friday
                Went past Veneziano last week and there seemed a bit of activity in front

                They should at the very least be open to receive orders
                If not open for Coffee to drink we can still meet to collect the greens

                A new Campos has opened in West End down on Melbourne St

                  I heard from Peter last week that if "the Snobs" can co-ordinate a time on-site he will make sure that you can get a coffee and maybe a special tour of areas not public yet.

                  So pick a time (Friday or Saturday I guess) and see if enough people can get there at once.

                          Friday 10:30 at Veneziano sounds good to me... I only orderd beans this month to get a excuse to have a peak at Veneziano

                          Cheers,

                          Mark.

                            Hey All

                            Bean Bay Pick up will be hosted at Veneziano Caffe First Pour this Saturday from 10am to 1pm, 369 Montague Road, West End. We are still applying the finishing touches, but we would like you come along and try some coffees and get to know you all.

                            Peter
