Coffee Appreciation

Great news about how well things are going, chapeau! Shame about The Roastery. Does this allow you to set up your own mail order/subscription service?

Hope things keep on growing well and smoothly.

That's great to hear! Apart from the bit about you and the roastery, but it sounds like that needed to come to an end anyway.

I am looking forward to visiting on the ride with @Cazakstan

Thanks James

Yes, I no longer need to worry about treading on their toes, but I do need to be very choosy with my expenditure for a while which means that a website with e-commerce and subscription management might be a way off, however I would happily provide a mail order service via email.

Cheers Tom, glad to hear that ride is still being planned - keep me informed and we'll get the red carpet ready!

New coffee machine - at 83kgs it's heavier than me!

Is that an Izzo? La San Marco lever groups can make delicious coffee. Temperature control isnt easy though.

Pm sent

I used one of them on a market stall for a while. Very easy to make great espresso with.

I would happily provide a mail order service via email.

Would defo support, I was thinking same as DJ as I read your post.

Forum investment? Or offer skills in return for beans? Countless web and marketing people 'on here'.

Yep, Izzo Pompei. It's great fun except that i had to disconnect one of the elements to keep the consumption down to 2.6kw, si takes 20 mins plus to heat up. oh, and didn't plumb it in but use track pump to push the water in from the softener tank.

Occasionally a coffee bean comes along that has me day-dreaming of the next brew... this is the current one. The last one was also Columbian too.

Yowzer.

I was more thinking by buying beans via email.

If there's any e-commerce developments I'd offer my time to help with User Acceptance Testing (running through the various scenarios) else I've a pretty useless skillset to trade against in this area.

The missus was in the shop yesterday but was embarrassed to mention she heard about off a bike forum! Mind you she's bought us some beans to try. Looking forward to it.

Ah that's great news, do you live locally or was she just visiting?

These BODUM Bistro handleless mugs are £4.99 a pair at Curry's silicone and porcelain and in a range of colours, thought they were a bit different. Great value.

Made up for you mate. Well done. : )

Excellent, thank you for your support. You can reach me at coffee@yellowbourbon.co.uk or just PM me here

Thank you Bernard. Excellent handle sir.

haha glad you like it.

Great shout, though having experienced the mount of time and correspondance that goes into getting the details just right with branding and marketing I don't think I would be comfortable asking someone to work for just coffee, especially as it would all be by email which makes it so much harder. @big_daddy_wayne used to help me out with this stuff on earlier projects when we would meet in Tanner St Park for coffee at lunch time. Another reason to miss that beautiful man.

She grew up in Northampton and family live up there

@StevePeel glad to hear it's going well mate, and glad I could help.

@StevePeel

Fuck yeah! Many thanks, looking forward to opening these up.
