In my haste I hit Wahgi Peaberry rather than Wahgi AA

I really need to only carry one similar coffee name each month... it gives me grief too when packing orders as I have to read each order and label about 4 times to make sure.
:
6 months ago we had 3 different Sumartan coffees together one month and I swear it took me twice as long to pack everything.

;D

Having spent year in logistics I understand.


Makes my mistake pale in comparison... ;D

Still goofy

Nothing like someone driving into a street pole 30mins before beanbay and knocking out the power supply to the whole suburb.

Fortunately I wasnt after the exotic beans so still got what I needed albeit 2 hrs later.

Simsy thats 30min to get to a friend/relative/internet cafe on another side of town - or wave cars down to see who has a mobile phone with internet to make the emergency order.

As Andy said, plenty of ways to skin a cat roast coffee beans

For me it was Indian Monsoon Malabar AA, Ethiopian Gambella Sundried, Brazil Pulped Natural and Double Dutch Pure Cocoa.
Will be visiting Caffeinefreak for the central pickup, what nerves of steel able to sit around all those green beans without going roast crazy!

Congrats on the ton of posts Simsy and I hope the dopey driver that hit the pole was ok!

...also glad you got what you were after and power was restored in the same evening.

My turn for a spike in the works, now have a greater empathy with those who Ive seen in the past have connection problems come BeanBay time.

Laptop froze at exactly 6.55pm, so if theres any Brisbanites who are able to part with a portion of the Grand Cru, I would be very appreciative.

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 14th March 2010

Well as a relative newbie to this forum stuff I bought the JBM and Haiti GC last night. Very scary timing but I am very happy to get my hands on this stuff. Last time I got some JBM was something like a quarter pound vacuum sealed pack I had airfreighted from Fortnum and Mason. I was quite disappointed in that but wanted to try it again with home roasting and an espresso machine that I am comfortable with. The bonus of being able to have it alongside Haiti Grand Cru prepared under the same conditions sets up a divine tasting exercise for my palate. Thanks for the great choice Andy.

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 14th March 2010

MP - I managed to snag me a bag, so more than happy to carve 1/3 off for you, if youd like.

Likewise, KK - if youd like 1/3, we can split it three ways.

Gotta look after the Brisbane-ites!

Cheers
Di

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 14th March 2010

Careful Di!, youll be splitting it 24 ways soon! roasting 35gms each with a hair dryer in a soup spoon! ;D

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 14th March 2010

If you wanted some to, Warren, we just need one more person and Ill be able to split it into 500g lots and make life a lot easier!
