Thanks guys :roll: now I've just HAD to make calculations... so let's see the math
$1.26 + $1.06 (50% robusta blend) = $2.32/2 = $1.16/lb x 2.2 = $2.552/kg greens
Assuming *20% weight loss = $2.552 x 1.25 = $3.19 greens needed per 1kg roasted
@ 1GBP = $0.55, $3.19 = GBP 1.76
GBP 3.15 - GBP 1.76 = GBP 1.39 left before costs :shock:

* does not include losses incurred when the roastery phone rings and the roaster get distracted on the phone while a batch is in the roaster subsequently making it fit for wholesale customers like UpChucks. For an example of such travesties, see here

Ah, San Stevo patron saint of the Dark Roast and Dodgy Football Shirts. Anybody else think we should go on a raiding party to rescue/save any other poor beans facing the same terrible fate of negligence? Anybody contacted tisri to tell him Hasbean has got some new stock? :wink:
This week I are feeling sleepy!

Thats correct. The quality of the coffee was not that great. All our shots, regardless if it was on the automatic or super-autos always tasted horrible and bitter.

The place I worked was John Lewis.

I'm now going to move back home, work, save, work a bit more. I'd really like to open my own coffee house.

Well, at this rate it will never be open!

I'm fine for the ideas, what I want to serve/bake/roast/make/etc. I'm fine with the coffee and stuff. But business plans? Predicted financial charts? Asking a bank for money? HELP!

lol!
