Oh phooey to that! :P More than half (more like nearly all) the beans already listed here are from HasBean. And besides, you're listing the beans & estate, not where in the UK you can buy it from ;) So stop being such a goody goody and play already :P

I'm still thinking about my next five... so I'll pick one of the Rwandan's I had last month which is either from Intelly or 49th... but I need to look up the estate first :roll:

Oh and phooey to Cakey too... is it me or is he just intent on making me miserable? I want to double up on Harrar and La Fany damnit!!!! :P

Erhmmm Kenya Gethumbwini is a lovely one... so one more to go... if MiseryCakes lets me double up on Harrar & La Fany :P
This week, I'm mainly recovering :DAll I've got is my Aerobie AeroPress | 70's Aurora/Brugnetti HX Spring Lever | Mazzer Mini E & SJ (on loan) | Hottop | Nestor Martin (Toto) Gas Roaster | Eva Solo | Moka Pots

Don't be daft Steve, you are entitled to your personal choices just like everyone else. It works both ways; ALL members are included in the Desert Island game. Besides, since when has anyone taken your word for what's a decent coffee? ;) :P

Beany sweetie .........NO! :lol:

*furiously makes up labels "Estate de Fantasie" and "Hacienda Misterio" and sticks each onto another bag of Harrar and La Fany* :P

Phew... okay... one more to go :P I'm waiting for my cold to clear up and my tastebuds to function normally again... hopefully next week... cause there's one I am just waiting to try... long name though... but can hardly wait!!! :(

My experience is not so big that my choice would be very informative. But I would like to take something with me that would very much enhance the coffee experience: good company.
