I dont have a CS card as yet, are you able to slip it in with my order? I didnt see a prompt for it on the order page but might have looked crooked.

Frank,

Its in the Other Stuff section and you need to add it to your cart when doing your order.
Youll be able to do it on your next order.

The system basically knows which users do not yet have a card and should allow you to add it to your cart for free. Replacement cards cost $5 I think.

Hi Frank

Welcome to Coffeesnobs!  

Youre better off sending an e-mail to Andy (andy@coffeesnobs...) - he doesnt check all the threads all the time.

CS member cards are in the other stuff section of beanbay - but are sold out at the moment...frustrating, as my kids have stolen mine!

Enjoy the coffee journey.

Hi Andy,

Have just placed my order and looking forward to some new flavours.

I dont have a CS card as yet, are you able to slip it in with my order? I didnt see a prompt for it on the order page but might have looked crooked.

In the last month or two weve become completely reliant on these roasts, done weekly. Thanks to you and the site.

Cheers,


Frank

Thanks again Andy. Picked up my 10kg beans this morning. Am loving the COFFEESNOBS stamp on the box - reminds me of the ACME boxes the Coyote in Roadrunner cartoons would receive! 8-)

Thanks again Andy. I look forward to my 12.5kg of beans.

Spent the last 2 months in europe and struggled to find decent coffee.
Even in coffee roasting cafes etc.

If you want the job done properly, do it yourself

I thought we were a bit short on surprises as well, the PNG was one I didnt see listed so made sure I scored some of that one - the last one I got from andy was lovely

Re: Monthly BeanBay GREEN Bean Sale - Wednesday 19th Jan 2011

PS what were the surprises?I didnt see anything when I logged on at 8.03pm?  

Yes you did, the PNG Peaberry was one. The others - well who hasnt been paying attention then?

Well sadly (blame AQIS not me) the small lot surprise packets didnt clear in time so we will just have to wait till next BB for those.

The good news is that a really excellent "nice place peaberry" did clear today and we have plenty of it to go around (half a tonne!).Ive edited it into the first post in this thread.

Thanks again Andy for the cracking service. My Ceja de Selva and PNG Peaberry are already sitting in my office ready for a roasting tonight!

Re: Monthly BeanBay GREEN Bean Sale - Wednesday 19th Jan 2011

Hey thanks Andy for the great service...Dunno how you do it.
Ordered my beans yesterday, and they arrived first thing this morning via Startrack.
"So what" some may say, but on the NW coast of Tassie that is better than Aust Post, and cheaper too.

My mum prepares the chai the way you suggest on the packet, tweaked amounts too her taste. She loves it.

I look forward to receiving my latest beanbay purchase.

Doubt the service would be as good in Europe if I move back to Ireland sometime in the future

I doubt I would be sending it to Ireland!  Its bad enough dealing with govt bodies bringing beans in... I dont need the agro sending them out too.
:
I know a good bean supplier in the UK if you do move though.

will there be some orange pekoe tea

I hope so.  It was a good un.
I have a pile of interesting Sumatran and Sulawesi beans on the way into the country in a mixed shipment but sadly no tea in this lot.  If it appears again I will grab some though.

I must say I do miss the frenzy of yester year watching the Available now button change into Kilos left with every page refresh

With the Snobbery II we have plenty more storage and a forklift to unload so we are landing a lot more beans when we can.  The Kenyan this month was always going to sell before midnight as we could only afford to import a small quantity of it.

We have a lot of interesting beans in very small quantities on the way and most of those will disappear "like the good ol days" in seconds with a barrage of "Andy, I missed out" emails, posts and PMs
...I dont miss that part of the BB sale at all!
:

Mostly we try and offer fewer varieties so we can carry more stock of each into the following month.  That allows people to come back to something that they really liked after roasting it first time.

Its always a juggle!
