Yup, the repair man has his screwdriver ready. Oh btw the new elements are not shiny - they're a sort of matt grey-green.

12.5kg in 33 varieties of unused beans. That's a lot of beans. Hard to imagine that you have room inside for all that. I guess they're in a shed out the back. I wonder if the shed is locked? I wonder if the dog sleeps well at night...

Thats one nice list you got there.

You'd be surprised how little room they take up, they are just in bags in a couple of cardboard boxes on top of one of the kitchen cupboards.

Come on guys and girls, where are all the blend suggestions for my beans list?

The best suggestion I can come up with is: drink singles . . . :-)

Try 40g of Fazenda Cachoeira, 40g of Yirg and 20g of Monsoon. Adjust the proportions to your taste, but I'd recommend keeping the Monsoon at no more than 20% of the total.

I'm a big fan of peaberry its got to be the Gethumbwini. Its blackcurrent ribena in a mug. I've fell compleltly for this one, shame I could only get one sack but it is very special. It also has hints of apricot.

when I first tried it six months ago I rejected it as it didnt do anything for me, but its one of those that has grown the more it calmed down. It can be too green :mrgreen:
