Xmas 2014 Group Buy

donnacha

Seeing as we didn't do a summer one surely we can reward ourselves. Bags not me to organise :pac:

ArcticFox

YES yes yes! Count me in.

Just purchased a Rancilio Silvia tonight so need some special beans to baptise

Mr Magnolia

A group-buy you say...

snollup

Anywhere in mind?

Koppi or Coffee Collective maybe?

raytaxi

Could be interested in this as well

Vexorg

+1

Interested also.

Doodee

We never did get round to ordering from Japan......

donnacha

Never had myself coffee collective before... Nice selection.

adrian522

Intelligentsia were good last time and they gave us free delivery.

Blue Bottle are good too, though I'd be be happy with any roaster really.

Question is does anyone have a contact we can use to get a good deal?

Brian

Interest piqued.

James_R

I'm well up for this too, great timing.

just-joe

I'd be up for this too!

James_R

Any Gesha's being roasted in Europe? Dying to get a taste.

CarlLedge

Count me in!!!

adrian522

I've sent an email off to a couple of places but no response yet.

CarlLedge

I'm a 1st timer... Has anyone bought from Taf? Or does that show my total lack of experience?!

I have...I actually spoke to the guy in charge ( Taloumis) ...He was very helpful . I could get in touch with him again, I speak greek so easy enough to reach out I guess ? Some of their coffees have been phenomenal, others just good...

By the way, how do you know of a greek roaster?

quadrifoglio verde

add me to this list...

Sorry but have to ask a few dim questions here.
I have a Bailies sub and grind my own.

What are we talking about here in group buy? Is it green beans that we get roasted ourselves and what (obviously down to individuals) kind of weights are we talking about?
Cheers lads but it intrigues me about "group buys"

adrian522

We pick a roaster from another country that has a good reputation but that people would not normally be able to order from because of the delivery cost.

We then each order some bags of roasted coffee from them and get them delivered to one address, hopefully getting a bit of a discount for the bulk order. So pretty much the same as your Bailies sub, but just get to try coffee from a different roaster.

Planet X

Excellent.
In.

Muahahaha

I'm interested

adrian522

I've had a response from Koppi. Would people be happy to go with them?

I sent out mails to Blue bottle and coffee collective also but no response.


Any other suggestions?

Koppi said they would give us retail prices. Delivery would be about 20-30 Euro.

snollup

Would love Koppi!

braddun

buy green beans online

roast them your self

Vexorg

Koppi is good for me!

Thanks - Koppi sounds great if none of the others get back to you.

nolllaig

This sounds deadly. Can you include me please.

adrian522

Price list attached, I'll setup a spreadsheet for people to fill out.

Working & order added.

What way do you want to arrange payment. I know from doing a Boards cycling kit order before it ended up costing me as I left payment until collection. Do you want payment first?

Ah just from research and reading blogs, seen it named a good few times. Follow them on social media.

Brian

What are you guys using a basis for picking? Just reading the description on their website?

CarlLedge

Order added. Let me know about payment method.

Vexorg

Order added.

Let me know how you want payment too.

nolllaig

Is Monday too late to update Google s.sheet ? Not near pc till then and it doesn't like my phone

adrian522

I'll leave it open for a few days anyway to allow people a chance to update it..

I'll take Payne t via PayPal or bank transfer once I've got an invoice and know the exchange rate etc.

jdburkedjburke

Order added and updated

Krusty_Clown

Thanks for organizing Adrian. Added in my request. It does mention on the price list that it's a minimum 3kg order per coffee, so we may need to do some consolidating!

adrian522

I'd say we'll be fine on that score, we'll see what we end up with but if we are short on any coffee I'd say they will accommodate us as we are not really a corporate order.

Pretty much yeah, I've never had any of these before though I know that vice sometimes have their coffees for sale so some on here may have tasted them before.

ArcticFox

Order updated!

Thanks Adrian

Wigsy

Hoefully order towards the end of next week. Not sure how long delivery will take though.

Sounds like I'll miss this one. Pity. But I can back Koppi 100% I had a few bags from them and I have to say some of the best beans I have EVER tried. You're all lucky!

Mr Magnolia

Added mine too. Thanks for sorting!

beanian

I'm in, first group buy! Just updated the sheet
