Summer Group Buy - Intelligentsia Coffee

Mr Magnolia

It's been over 6 months since the last group buy. Any interest in one now?

We'd need someone Dublin based to pull the order together and distribute, preferably someone who's been involved in a Group buy before and knows what's associated. Suggestions also welcome as to which roastery to use.

Anyone's welcome to join. We pick which roastery to use, put our order together and have it sent to Ireland using 3/4 day delivery (Fedex or the like). We then meet up and distribute. Search the forum for details on previous group buys or feel free to ask away here either.

RE*AC*TOR

I'd be interested in partaking, though a touch busy at the moment to organise...

Don't mind the roastery choice particularly.

frlinux

Interested too

Doodee

I'll step up for this one.
If anyone has the excel spreadsheet to calculate costs etc it would be handy.

I'm living in Rathmines and working on Pearse street so should be handy enough for a meet-up / collections.
I'll be away in Austria from the 13th - the 25th though so if everyone is ok with it happening after that then alls good.

seanos

I'd be interested in this also.

That's great Doodee thanks. I just used an excel sheet and posted a screenshot as it was updated. I don't have one to hand but can put one together for you when we kick off with the orders.

Ah, throw another shrimp on the barbee!

After the 25th will probably suit perfectly

snollup

I'm also interested in partaking.

alastair

I'm on board (whenever we set sail).

Wigsy

Good call Mr M. Thanks Doodee. Count me in.

birofunk

also interested!

Regular Latte

Yeah, would like to be in on this as well.

(After 25th would be good for me too).

hshortt

+ me please.

donnacha

:Dcount me in also

PPC

Me too.

Any suggestions for places to order from?

Clinker

Just back from hols in time to join in! Yes, please!!

arabica69

I would also gladly partake... has there been any suggestion of roasteries?

Possibles:
transend - Canada
Matteo - Sweden
Tim Wendleboe - Norway

However, I totally open if someone has somewhere new to try.

donnacha

I still haven't tried anything from 49th Parallel so I'll throw them in the hat. Was sort of keen on Tim Wendelboe but they may not have enough choices to suit a group buy.

snollup

What about Intelligentsia?

RE*AC*TOR

PTs coffee maybe... To add to the above...

Also Kaffa.no are nice...

alastair

I'm easy, but my tuppence - if it's something trans-atlantic; 49th Parallel and Intelli buys went down well in this household, and Supreme Roastworks in Norway are a good euro option.

hshortt

I'd love the BlackCat again, but happy to try whatever is the choice.

RE*AC*TOR

intelli is fine by me...

Mr Magnolia

Intelli's good for me too, would like to pick up another couple of those mugs. Whatever the majority prefers is fine by me.

Good point. Those mugs are the biz.

What mugs are you both talking about? Am on the hunt for nice cappuccino cups.

These are quite nice but very pricey!

I would like to confirm that these are in fact the ultimate mug.

ULTIMATE.

Oh yes! For me too. Count me in so.

I'd be happy with Intelli aswell, been looking to get some of those mugs for a while now.

birofunk

on the hunt for good espresso cups, the intelli wing cups are the business but they don't seem to sell them through the site

RE*AC*TOR

Those intelli cappa cups are really lovely. If pouring latte art is your thing - you'll love em.

GRINDER*MAN

Hi All,

Count me in for coffee & cool cups!

Cheers!

Doodee

Heh, I love it when a plan comes together.

Have been eyeing up the Cap cups for a while so this suits me to the ground.

just wondering, if we are doig a massive order then should I email them to ensure availablity for the cups/mugs/whatever else?

SeaSide

I'll get in on the act too

Regular Latte

Intelligentsia is always good.

(Though I did like the look of Transend as well - maybe the next group buy shouldn't wait so long)

Slaphead07

Aye, following a poke from Mr Magnanimous I'll throw my hat in the ring too. 500gr of whatever espresso bean is going I suppose. I'm good for cups. (I use little coffee shot glasses bought in Italy, 6 for €3. 5 left )

Only 2???

RE*AC*TOR

Doodee - if this order gets a bit silly big - happy to pay you upfront via paypal or whatever...

Kannon

I'm in for this defo.
Those mugs look class.
Thanks for this Doodee

rymus

I'd like to join in too for a couple of bags of beans. New to all this group buy malarky, what's the story?

Doodee

Basically we choose a place to order coffee from, people request what they would like, it gets ordered and then when it arrives people collect it / have a coffee meet up.

Big thanks to PPC for getting a spreadsheet sorted.
It viewable by everyone here:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ajg0ZOFV--yRdHc3c1NfNnVkMlJFQTY2bmZjVWRfV0E&hl=en&authkey=COXbm8sJ#gid=0

might ask either Mr.Magnolia or RE*AC*TOR to make any updates, if necessary, when I head off.
Will allow people to change their minds etc.

So when you're ready just post with Which coffee and what quantities you would like.

seanos

Let me know if want cash up-front, not a problem.

1/2 pound of the following beans, please:

Edelweiss Finagro Estate, Tanzania
Itzamna, Guatemala: Finca La Maravilla
Kenya Thiriku
Organic Ethiopia Sidama Homecho Waeno
Black Cat Organic Espresso
Black Cat Classic Espresso
La Tortuga, Honduras Micro-Lot: La Isabella
El Diablo Dark Roast
El Gallo Organic Breakfast Blend

Sorry to be a pain - but the spreadsheet will need to be updated to include the mugs on the logo wares page - and I'm considering that mexican wrestler teeshirt too - the ladies can't resist a man in coffee nerd / mexican wrestler combo attire don'cha know?

I'm with you... of course we can never appear at the same party in the same T shirt.

PPC

Tshirt and mugs are now added.

I didn't relise .5lb was a different price to half of 1lb. The cost will be a little off until i rework the formulas.

Mr Magnolia

Is Stephen still working at intelli?

For the purpose of shipping costs 1 mug/tshirt = 1lb.

I'll put my order together over the coming days. Are you happy enough to maintain that spreadsheet PPC? I can do it either?

PPC

Yeah i've no problem doing it while Doodee is away
