      wonderful Snobby Instant Chai
      Hmmm... I might have one of those soon. Cold in the Snobbery tonight and I have a bit of packing to do. Chai as a balanced meal?!?!
      ;D

        Haha
        You know whats best about this new Snobby Instant Chai? It gets my better half on the Domobar and learning how to texture her soy milk.
        Ive had the Domobar for a little over a year and shes never been game to learn, instead asking me whenever she feels like a coffee (which is always a couple of times a day), but such is her love on this Snobby Instant Chai thats shes now keen on learning how to use the machine properly.

          1 peru de selva and a bag of the tanzanian faircrack this time, managed to restrain myself to only 2 bags of which only 1 is really for me, the peru is for someone at work

          the burundi sounded interesting and I was very tempted to grab a bag, but I know I need to reduce down my stocks of beans as I have nowhere to put any more lol

            Just completed my very first Beanbay purchase!!

            Got the following:
            Starter pack
            Tanzania Uru Estate
            Brazil Yellow Bourbon Especial
            Double Dutch Pure Cocoa
            Snobby Chai - Whole Spice
            and I thought I would try the 58mm Quad Shot Basket for a serious morning kick start   

            Cheers

              Thats CS math for sure, add 1 bag to make your stocks smaller?
              ;D

                From 0kg to about 25kg in about a month, not bad for someone who only goes through 1kg a month, Im offloading some of my stockpile to friends just to have room and justification if something special pops up in future monthly sales.

                More Peru as a staple bean
                Some Mexico Yeni
                and the Uru estate for this months special

                I might have to double my "home" consumption

                Thanks Andy for supplying us addicts with our fix

                    While this is off topic and probably warrants its own "ways with Chai" thread, I havent tried this with the CS Chai, but you can make your own Chai Egg Custard (and, if youre game, I guess you could use the steam wand) - 1 egg yolk, 1 cup milk, 1T sugar, 1/2T cornflour, 1 qty chai (I generally use a chai teabag, but whatever works). Make sure the cornflour and sugar is dissolved, heat until boiling, stirring constantly.

                    Dont knock it till you try it. Its amazing.

                      Just roasted some of the Burundi and the Tanzania Uru Estate....both smell fantastic but particularly the Burundi!!

                      Might have to just try some a little bit later....

                        Wow, you have the will power to wait?? I normally start brewing a few minutes after cool down... ;D

                        Cant wait for my stash to arrive and more importantly meet a few local CSers at the pick up.

                        Cheers

                          Last month when everyone went mad over the Yemeni I was jealous because I dont roast, this month Im glad Andy decided to supply the two specials roasted - I know it must be a huge task for him to roast so much but last month I was thinking "wouldnt it be great if they could roast the specials"
                          and they have!
                          Winning!

                            Im glad!

                            There are a couple of gotchas...

                            1. We roast to order so if carry too many varieties then there isnt enough in some batches to meet the minimum for the roaster. I then have to roast way more then we sell that day and end-up having to try and use the rest myself.

                            2. If I drop a variety that we already offer I cop a big pile of email from cranky people.

                            If we were happy to sell old coffee it would be ok... but that isnt going to happen.

                            I will try and rotate a few new beans through each month though as I can see the excitement in your post.

                              well I just emptied a bag a couple of weeks ago and will probably finish off another this week, so im not changing the amount of bags, just how many beans are in them LOL

                                Im not sure if this would work but you could potentially offer a roasting surcharge and have it as an option in green beanbay like you have with the grinding options.
                                that way theres an understanding that its limited stock, and you would only be roasting to order still.
                                I suppose the gotcha would be youd have to buy 2.5kg of roast.

                                tough situation but you do a great job as is, so maybe having the odd one on roast is more of a treat for us
