Well I made an order. And as a newbie roaster Im looking forward to meeting some other CS members at the Kellyville pick-up.

Hey sidoney

Sounds like we will have to organise something depending on how many get beans dropped here.

Either way, we might just organise a roast and coffee at the time.

By the way, love your avatar ;D

Very nice of you...

Nah.
Ive been very lucky in getting almost all of the beans ive wanted since starting roasting 6 months ago so it wont hurt me to not have another bag of a certain bean, especially knowing there are others out there who find that bean to be their favourite.

Now if my current absolute favourite bean, the Honduras Pino de Oro COE Lot 3, showed up in Beanbay, i wouldnt have a problem taking a second (or third ) bag. ;D

In all seriousness, the more CSers that get to experience each different bean Andy offers, the better off we all are because the wealth of knowledge and personal experience is spread that little bit wider.

I for one love reading others views on beans, from roasting techniques right through to cupping notes, so hopefully those that got the Kagongo enjoy it and if they are so inclined, pass on their views on the bean on the boards.

Ah, thats a shame.
I was really thinking of you when i saw 5kgs of it available.

If you cant get any next month (or whenever Andys next batch arrives), im more than happy to send you a kilo out of whats left in my bag given how much you adore it.

First BB order in, will come down to Fiefys to pick up. Now need to get a popper to roast

It was all so easy and fun, so many sounded so yummy in no time there was 20kg ordered, but with great steadfastness took it back to 15kg GEE thats a lot of coffee

GEE thats a lot of coffee 

No its not. One day youll get your stock back down that low, and get worried about running out  ;D

I make sure my beans are well guarded!

Aww how sweet of you Ristrom, Ill make sure Im on the ball next month for it

I would swap it any day for a try of the Honduras Pino de Oro COE Lot 3 though, still havent tried a COE 

Love your guard dog Richard ;D Im sure it would lick you to death first though...

Thanks Andy, great selection. 

Am pleased to announce that Beanbay worked remarkably well via the iPhone and I was able to get some of the Yemen in the first few minutes along with the Java.  Am over in the west this week and was worried Id miss out...thanks to technology I didnt...even though I was about 50kms south of Perth once Beanbay was open. Phew!  8-)

Beanbay worked remarkably well via the iPhone

Nice! I hear stories from time to time that it works on an iPhone but I dont own one so its not really been tested. Geekrocket that wrote the BeanBay software writes really good code that should work in most browsers and platforms and one of the early specs was that it would work on a small screen.

We will work on getting the website a little more stable and a chunk faster over the coming month and see if we can have a super smooth BB next time.

Re: Monthly BeanBay GREEN Bean Sale - Sunday 13th March 2011

Paid the penalty for getting home late and missing the Yemen. 
However, added some Java Kalistat and Nepal Plantec to my growing (in size, not in ground  :) stash and ecstatic that once again, I managed to ignore the "not this month Kevo" voices.  ;D
Happy roasting CSs!
