This would be my first group buy, don't know how the logistics would work, but deffo interested, especially if it means getting to taste something exceptional

just-joe

Hello! First time to join in. I'd be up for it depending on the price!

Regular Latte

Would love to, but.....I've moved to England

Group buys were always a great idea. (We never did that roaster in Japan).

Enjoy!

Oh, I like that idea. Happen to work with a couple of Japanese baristas so will have a chat with them.

Ooh! Ooh! If it's Japan, I'm in!!

http://www.cafetaf.gr this greek roaster has some very keen pricing and great sourcing...might be interesting to look at

llatsni

If it's Japanese, I'm in.

I will also consider Mr. Wendel (boe).

Batesy

I'm interested. How does it all go down?

wannabecraig

inski too but how do we do this thing?

just-joe

japan sounds cool to me. is there a particular roaster or company? also i am fairly decent at japanese so i could help with ordering it if the company doesn't have english.

Wigsy

Great, count me in.

beanian

yeah sounds good, im in

murphyebass

I'm interested but like a couple of other posters on the thread already it'd be my first time.

So can someone let me know what the costs would roughly be, who you pay, where you collect, what you normally get , etc..

thanks a mil.

llatsni

Bump. I need a fancy coffee fix. Who's taking lead on this one? Snollup?

snollup

Hope to get around to this but a little busy for the next week or so.

Would be really keen to try some of Tim Wendelboe's offerings again. Would everyone be happy with that? I've set up a Google Docs spreadsheet to gauge interest. I'll leave it open for a week or so to see if it's worth while doing. Once I get numbers I'll send it on to Tim's shop to see what they'll do regarding price & shipping. We can sort on payment methods then.

Google spreadsheet

Cheers,
Joe.

Jezek

I can't add anything to that document!

Try now.

Jezek

Works now! Just to clarify, could we order multiple coffees? like if i wanted to buy some Olke Bire and some Tekangu, I should put down numbers for both?

Yes, I guess so. I have never orginised a group buy before. Maybe someone who has could advise? For now though, put down what you would be interested in and the quantity of each.

just-joe

Did I manage to change that? I couldn't see a save button. How do you edit the doc? :eek:

Clinker

Quite expensive: 135 NOK is nearly €17. And that's before P & P! Still, once in a while...

Thanks for organising.

Anyone around these parts in twitter/email contact with Tim? I know in the past we've had a few members that have been able to leverage the kindness of the roaster and we've got a bit of a discount. Worth a shot.

Thanks Donnacha, have sent Tim a message on Twitter so will wait and see.

Im in. I would love to experiment with something other than supermarket beans.

I'd like to jump in too if its not too late. Thanks for organising. If you need a hand with anything, like sorting or re-distributing or whatever drop me a pm. Cheers.

I assume this never happened?
