Re: BeanBay pickup thread - September 2008

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.

Id be keen to set a time for the pickup at Veneziano. Friday or Saturday would be great for me.

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.

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

Re: BeanBay pickup thread - September 2008

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

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.

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-)

Re: BeanBay pickup thread - September 2008

It wont be long Andy and you will have to show them how to tamper with the contents of those bags (with a tamper that is )....

I get a similar response here when the couriers pick up the roasters (complete with sample roast)..... It looks really weird when a macho courier bends over and starts to sniff the boxes.....  and then you hear a quiet "MMMMMM" ;D ;D ;D ;D

And even more strange.... they have started dropping in "as they pass by"..... just to see if there are any for collection......hows that for service!

Re: BeanBay pickup thread - September 2008

Andy you have outdone yourself again.

Picked up my beans at the PO this morning, opened them to show the "ladies" who keep asking me about them and then roasted a batch of each by late morning.

This is all the more remarkable because there was a snap mail strike at Dandenong so no mail, except Express was getting out, so I was half expecting them not to be there until Monday.

They look great, nice and clean with big puffs of smoke around second crack.

Looking forward to the cuppings.

Thanks,
