Did the postman bring anything nice today?

I kind of stole this from elsewhere, ok, not kind of, I did steal it from elsewhere ^-^.

Did the postie/courier/delivery person bring you anything nice today?

Today I got my new tamper, nothing flash but a lot better than the one I had.

I also stole this pic from Google 😃.

nice looking tamper Sue. What brand is that? Nothing in the mail today besides some party stuff my wife ordered for her baby shower on the weekend. She even had the nerve to ask me to move the coffee bar out of the way - I responded with "cancel the baby shower"

It is just a cheapie off ebay GeekKopi but it does real rather nice in the hand. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Coffee-Tamper-Stainless-Steel-58mm-Blaze-Blue-CINO-/221525914302?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3393f932be I would have thought your wife would like the coffee bar to cater to her guests :thumb:.

She doesn't know how to use it and I won't be around (thank gosh) to cater coffee for 30 women.

You should stick around and help out 😉.

I got a few bits and bobs in the post from JCar today. I'm waiting on some malachite/Chrysocola specimens but... That will be an exciting post. Perhaps tomorrow.

I got my Behmor Plus coffee roaster in the mail yesterday and a new wide screen tv today 😉 😉 ;D Still haven't figured out how to work the telly but the roaster has had a workout ! Picking up my coffee machine from getting serviced tomorrow morning - I had a bunch of friends over last weekend and cranked out a dz coffees or so of my home roast with no problems so coffee bar definitely takes pride of place !

Cuir_Beluga

We have a Jaybar local to us, it is on my list of boring shops but hubby pops in sometimes when he needs something straight away ^-^. It's been a good week for you Coffeeguy. How did the roaster go? I am thinking about one but it won't be for quite a while yet 🙂.

askthecoffeeguy

yeah roaster is really good its definitely a step up from the gene cafe in terms of industrial heat source, even roast, and programability in terms of being able to adjust all the variables much more focused in terms of weights and measures - so need to be accurate as far as these variables go bit of a learning curve in terms of how it all works I just use the program settings for now - and extend the roast time as necessary, before hitting the cooling cycle - but I have been playing around with temperature dropping at the end of first crack so far so good will keep you posted!

Sounds fun coffeeguy, I don't mind a bit of a tinker myself at times. It keeps things interesting 😛. As far as what came in the post....my coffee themed tin sign I ordered from ebay arrived.....bent. Seller has offered a replacement or a refund. That was the first of 3 things to go wrong today......Matt went for his learners license and failed and then when I went to pull Ben out of the car to go and pay a bill and he had been sick 🙁. Edited to fix up mangled English. I knew I was stressed ^-^.

Ugh, what a day! I've had similar and come home to a house of illness. My wife has a true whammy: hand, foot and mouth (thanks kids), tonsillitis and Glandular Fever which means she's in for a rash due to the antibiotics... Didn't even want her afternoon coffee... :/ kids are also in various viral stages of malaise. Me, I'm full of wine but still working to finish my week before starting work tomorrow on an opera. The wine does help but I may be vocally underwhelming tomorrow....

sorry to hear regarding the sickness going around, hope everyone gets well quick

Wow your lot have copped it worst than mine. I just had a spewy toddler but he seems to have come good. All the best for them getting better quickly 🙂.

It was just the one sicky but he seems fine now. I always get paranoid when they start throwing up for seemingly no reason, I start looking for rashes, particularly at this time of year. Has the countdown started yet Geek?

Not long to go Sue. I'm sure it will be within a week. Everything is ready now. Baby seat is installed plus I put a sticker on the car. It's the baby from the hangover movie.

So close, it is a very exciting time. I don't think I slept for a week before my last one because I knew exactly when he was going to be born. I didn't know if he was a boy or girl though. Love the baby on board sticker ;D.

Today was a good day, 2 kgs of MyCuppa coffee and a couple of shot measuring glasses.

I got a MyCuppa delivery too! Awesome Columbian which I've already tried and love it's chocolatey goodness. The decaf...I might have now.... I also got my rocks:

Brett_H

Can confirm that the decaf is stunning! If you don't believe me try some! Only one shot to dial it in too. Must be my lucky day!

Cuir_Beluga

Cheers Brett :coffee2:. My Roasters Choice was also a Colombian. Yummo. I might try the decaf next order :angel:. I love the pretty rocks. What are they?
