A farting deity maybe? A new name for Steve, the farting roaster? Would save considerably on gass I presume..

Didn't you notice the funny smell coming from the smoke of his roaster Mark? And that was just someone who asked him to dark roast some Kenyan :wink:


I hadn't realised he was based in Royston Vasey. The "special" roast anyone ...... ? :shock: :wink:

Not at the mo'. Have to wait for the coffee to land, which should be about the end of the month...

Best things come to those who wait, I guess ;)

Well, as I'm neither Dutch nor anatomically incorrect, I guess that counts me out :P

I'm back and you can trace where I've been - just follow the trail of devastation :P

Seriously, I just bought 2kg each of 7 varieties from HB on Saturday. It was sent on Monday and arrived yesterday (cause I couldn't fit all that in my suitcase AND still have room for my shoes, you know what I mean, right Doris? :P). I didn't order any Yirg this time around even though I've run out but really, there are just so many others to try :) I'm soooo excited with my new shipment, it's going to be very difficult to even look at my leftover greens for the next couple weeks :)

But thanks for thinkin of me anyway, zapty :D

What the.. Beanybabe, you are quite the little partypooper here, that is not like you. That little trip down to wet old England has not done you any good IMO.

Heheh Fred... I'm not Dutch either :P

Awww zapty :cry: I've got a bit over 20kg of greens all together... really can't do with another 5 :( Not even with roasting 3-4 batches per week... which is almost this case this year!! :lol: even had to do an emergency last minute at 03:00 am batch this morning for the BF to take with him to London. He promised a colleague some home roast... and then forgot to tell me. It was funny to see the panic in his eyes tho :twisted:

Why BeanyBabe, want to know how many kg's I've got in house? App 50 and more on the way... Drink up a little and roast up a storm.
I've been sending out smoke signals all over the place, people thought there was a native Canadian tribe setting up in Limburg but didn't know it was just one member off the coffee tribe all by his lonesome self.
You are letting us down you, you, overloper you!!!!!
