I have photos of the beans on the floor at Epic - including my two sacks of Zambian for the fundraiser (thank you all again!).

Wheres the piccies.... we got to have piccies!

Sounds like it will be an interesting roast.

The news from Perth is excellent with the beans having arrived courtesy of the sweaty russian courier who complains bitterly once a month about the terrible terrible load he has to carry.

What was really cool was that on the weekend I got to have a conversation with Dean of Five Senses and Kamran of Fiori about the best way to roast and blend these beans - awesome to get that kind of info from two master roasters. . .

Re: Perth BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Hey you know haow many beans before I do!

Cool, if that is the case then with my 10kg and hopefully another 10kg (Donated from a roaster) then Ill have 50kg to roast - What a relief I have access to a 30kg roaster for this lot!

Re: Perth BeanBay Pickup Point - March

grendel,

You are going to need a truck to get your beans - and the donated ones - 30 Kg - home from Corey....

(Hope hes got plenty of space in his "back room")

Ripper Andy - thanks for the update. Sandgropers always seem to have an independant bent. Of course, this wasnt supposed to carry through quite so much into local politics where Brian Burke seems to want to establish a government in exile. . .

Nice use of the thread sandgropers.... this was exactly the intended purpose of them.

Dynamic toggling of the bean pickup dates/times/venues to suit the majority of locals as opposed to a random time selected as a "best guess" by me.



Have fun at your pickup day. BTW: The WA shipment left this morning (errrr... that was Wed morning) so it should get across the country in plenty of time.

Enjoy.

Re: Perth BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Re: Perth BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Nice work on the earlier thread - yes confirmed this morning that 3pm would be best - in fact essential!

I may even head up at 2.30 to have a really lazy Friday afternoon.

I think I will join you at 2:30 Grendel, I finish work at about 1pm, so time I get home changed and head in there it should be about 2:30pm.

Re: Perth BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Yes I remember from a previous post that 3:30pm is closing time on Fridays at Epic and Corey doesnt mine CS hanging around until about 4pm but I think I can recall that doors will be closed at 3:30pm and coffees orders have to be in by this time as well.

See quote from a previous post by Corey at Epic

We close at 3.30 on Fridays (4.00 every other weekday). Also be aware guys that although you are welcome to hang in the store after close as we pack down for the day, we will only be able to do coffee from 3.30-4.00 on Thursday, so get your orders in early

Cheers,
Corey

3:00pm would be a better start time to sample at least a good Espresso or Ristretto and maybe sneek in a cool looking Flat white with Rosetta latte art or maybe even finish with an delicate Afogato.  Yum, I think I better go make myself one of those, im starting to drool.

Re: Perth BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Dale itll be great to meet a fellow snob! I seem to remember though that Epic closes early on a Friday and that we may be better starting at 3pm rather than 3.30 - Ill ask Corey what the story is and post back here.

Re: Perth BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Im not into roasting as I just do not have enough time. Apart from working full time, three church services a week plus prayer groups and other associated functions, not forgetting being a husband and father, I run an espresso catering business for large outdoor events here in Townsville. Managing three vans, staff, stock etc, etc, doesnt leave me time to roast. We use a local specialty roast. I will however be looking forward to sampling Epics brew that everybody seems to rave about and meeting fellow addicts. As I am in town for a church conference, my time is limited. If however the bean pick-up stays at 3.30pm on Friday, I will see you all then.

Re: Perth BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Hooray! I may make it to this one.
