Nor me! I didnt think another BB would fit but the Rononi just landed and there was no way I could keep that a secret for any longer. As it was it took months to buy, freight and land it and once it was here I was hopping from foot to foot with excitement like a little kid at... well, like a little kid at this time of year!
;-)

So... how was an afternoon BeanBay for everyone?

It worked very well from my side. I was packing orders as the payments came through PayPal and as such, all the PayPal orders that were paid before 5:00pm odd shipped today and should arrive at most places tomorrow.

The couriers and the post office all got a pile of beans today and tomorrow morning all the bank transfers that were done before 5pm should appear in our account and we can ship those out tomorrow too.

A great mental picture. ;D

Luckily my 2:30 meeting finished early (I was going to walk out at 2:55 if it didnt), so no dramas but I wouldnt want them at that time every month.

Fine for me. I logged on at 7pm and was delighted to find the Rononi beans still available. So I bought some and a bottle of Masons Creek Corregiola olive oil.  The process was quick and painless. Thanks Andy!

Worked for me.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I like the idea of the extended BeanBay opening though I dont know how much extra work that will generate for you. Now that you are buying larger quantities few, if any, snobs miss out .

I also like the idea of rationing beans of smaller quantities - much fairer. Id like to see this used in every BB if possible for exclusive beans and then opening up if theres some left after the initial mad rush.

Thanks as always andy. The BeanBay buying experience has become a real pleasure and is a testament to the passion and dedication that is in your character. It is evident not only from the range and quality of beans on offer but the ease of the transaction. Any minor problems (and these are very rare) have always been quickly and cheerfully rectified.

[edit]..and hows this for service. Bought and paid for by 3:30PM Monday. Arrived at my workplace in Sydney at 8:45AM today. I think Ill roast some Tanzanian today!![/edit]

I certainly agree with that Flynn, was pleased to be able to pick up some Rononi when I got round to placing an order last night.
Note with interest the Rononi has disappeared from the listing this morning.

Thats because you have already bought your quota. Its like the Starter Pack: you can only buy it once and then its removed from your BeanBay shopfront.

Re: BeanBay Green Sale - Dec 7th 2009

Sounds like it was a bad time for most people, but 3pm worked great for me. Although my job does entail sitting behind a computer all day :-) Site was really fast and worked great, as its often slower right on bean bay time.

I was also excited to see that there was also a selection of other beans on there that I am running out of!

Re: BeanBay Green Sale - Dec 7th 2009

This is an Outlook meeting request that went out earlier today to make our work day on Christmas Eve go that little bit quicker/be a little more fun (for those that are at work on Christmas Eve).

Jaso, XX, XX and XX have suggested this morning over coffee that we will organize an Espresso Day  where the coffee gurus (Ed: These are not my words but those of an instant drinker) will bring in their espresso kits and exchange coffee ideas and try different beans on Christmas Eve for those that are interested.  Itll be fairly informal, open to everyone and a great opportunity to try the different machines and coffee we each have here at work and at home.

This year:
Jaso will bring:

• his grinder and espresso machine (Ed: My Rancilio gear - Refer sig); and
• Some home roasted Single Origin beans from Tanzania, India, Uganda, Guatemala and the Chinese Yunnan province)
• All free to those that wish to try something different

XX will bring his coffee bean grinder (Ed: Its one of those Sunbeam bladed jobs - I cringed when he told me)
YY will bring his tasting buds LOL. Ok, XX will bring cupcakes.
Attendees please feel free to bring in other stuff.

Having now typed this Ive just realised the Beanbay beans will only be a couple of days roasted.    Oh well - Im sure theyll like it all the same.   ;D  Just happy to be sharing my own interest and enthusiasm with the heathens......less well informed.....
