blown away by this espresso !

Postby BazBean » Wed Mar 05, 2008 8:18 pm

a got to try espresso blend my friends !

this has blown me away ........ the softest velvet of an espresso
flavours ... lots and all of the subtle and balanced !.. finish thats perfect in its contrast to initial notes.

I had 4 off the belt today and was mouth wide open everythime. I even roped in customer who happened to be there to cup who dont even drink espresso.

what is it ... Formula 6 from James Gourmet Coffee.
anyone else had this one?

:P but that's where I was when I tried to order... so really, no discernable difference whether I'm here or there, in that regard, Aadje Patatje :P :roll: :(

What are they like with delivery times? I have fallen into a lovely routine with Has Bean and know exactly when to order my next bag of skag, but don't want to have the new beans sat around for too long and running out of coffee obviously isn't an option.

I'm yet to have a problem with royal mail delivery from HB, but I reckon I've been very lucky as the post around here is a joke. Almost all of my orders have arrived the day after they were sent and only one has taken longer than two days and if memory serves we didn't have any post at all on the second day (I was expecting some other post that didn't turn up) and the coffee arrived on the third day.

Just out of interest, where did you work for the PO? I've done a few Xmas temping shifts at one of the MDECs and I'm looking at heading back for a six month stint :)

In Answer Bren.
ordered online to delivery its 2 or 3 days to my door !
an email confirms order immediatly and then an email notifys of roast/ dispatch and then its overnight delivery.
I have not specifed a dedicated delivery day so I dont run as its never crossed my mind ...... its impossible for me to run out Thankfully just realised how lucky i am :-)
the thought of running out has never crossed my mind ... however the thought is very very scary ........ :shock: :shock:
