Hi floatncoffee Your Melbourne rep must have a TWIN sister in Sydney! As suggested earlier, get onto the management. John PM your location and next time in Melbourne will try and drop in!

Hi floatcoffee. sounds like your still happy with your current coffee and the rest of the staff. Maybe a talk with the manager could sort things out. He may have had complaints from other customers and your complaint maybe the one that spurs him into action to tell this rep to either pick his game up or show him the door.

This a forum and we make assumptions as we recall our own experiences and how we have dealt with them Some are similar & some are not I will say this "good communication is the key to success" I have never lost a contract in my field of work due to poor service or work performed in the past 12 years I visit my clients a minimum of once per month to 4 times a month, even if its just a quick hello KK

I think if your happy with the coffee....stay. But from your info, I suggest looking for a more interesting product. In melbourne you really are spoilt for choice. Maybe at least look at another company, or at least go and do some cuppings at a few factories. It'll open your eyes to the big, big world of flavour out there

opps I removed my previous post with my roaster's contact details b/c for some reason I thought I'd sent it as a personal message and not posted personal details on a public forum - which I prefer not to do... if anyone really wants my roaster's details that badly let me know and I'll be happy to give them to you! FNC (now that's an interesting abbreviation, I hope it doesn't mean what I think it means - fish n chips...) - how did you go with your roaster - and I agree with KK's comments that each case needs to be treated on a case by case basis - still sometimes a clean break can be a good thing! All the best - ACg

well i gave the big chesse a call and aired my views...he was very accomodating so we'll see what happens from there... but after talking to you chaps i feel a bit more confident about looking around to see what else is out there.... ive emailed a few other suppliers and asked for samples so ill have to test them out on a few willing customers our cup rep pops in every 2 weeks to see if we're ok and to show us specials and to let us know stocks..... they sent out the wrong cups one day and we
