Christmas bean swap 2008!!!
John Despres	#1 Posted on 11/10/2008 6:43 AM
Administrator Posts: 2221 Joined: January 09, 2008	I can't start this without a huge THANK YOU to Dennis for organizing this last year!!! s:2s:1s:2s:1s:2s:1 Great job, Dennis! I began lurking here for about a month at the tail end of the '07 Swap and was terrified of all you swappers! There was no chance I would send away anything I roasted. At least not then, anyway. That said, I'm pleased to be doing this! One note - I've called this the "Bean Swap" since I'm not a blender, but I may give myself a crash course and try, otherwise it'll be a couple single origins from me. So, if you're a single origin or a blend roaster, feel free to join in. It's pretty simple, actually, and goes something like this: Let me know through this thread if you'd like to participate in the Christmas Bean Swap 2008. I'll keep a list and on December 10 will pair up participants to swap with each other. Then each participant roasts a pound of coffee and sends it to me. After that, each participant roasts another pound and sends it to their swap partner. OK, I'm kidding about each participant sending me a pound of roasted coffee. I'm suggesting a pound as a start. If anyone would like to send more, that's fine and up to the individual! Who's in? First name on the list: John Despres Respect the bean. John Despres Fresh Roast 8, Gene Cafe, JYTT 1k, Quest M3, Mazzer Mini, Technivorm, various size presses and many more brewers.

DarleneB aka DarleneB No big dawgs here...just a pack of mongrels that need some estrogen to balance the barking. Jump in there. Note to group: Should we mix it up a bit and keep our country of origin a secret? Winner/s of the Guessathon are deemed "Cuppers of 2008," and get to coordinate Christmas 2009 cupping? I will put up a pound of a El Salvador Los Alpes Cup of Excellence, #14 as part of a purse prize, includes shipping if a purse sweetens the participation. Don't want to make it complicated but I do sit up when something is on the line. B\|Java Edited by BoldJava on 11/17/2008 5:51 PM http://sidewalkmy... Dave Borton Milwaukee, WI
