After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Next bean swap

Who's up for the next one? Reply in here if you are keen...


UNM feel free to manage this one too as you did such a good job las time... I just wanted to get the ball rolling  :)

  • Any time any place I am up for the swap again  :thumb: KK
  • I wouldn't mind in on this one, I didn't have a clue what was going on last time, and felt left out hearing you all talking about it! :)
  • Count me in... last time was great fun!
  • I am up for it this time around  :thumb:
  • I am hoping to be on a little more regularly, so this will be good for that. Count me in for this.
  • I'll have a crack
  • i assume this means roasting beans and swapping with someone? i'm keen

    You got it!  From memory there was a 500g limit so people with smaller roasters don't have to spend days roasting to be included.

    Self-harvested/processesed Kopi Luwak style beans were also discouraged.  :rofl:
  • I am thinking a MM/Robusta blend roasted about a minute into SC should do it  >:D :rofl:
  • This was great last time so I'm in again. Now who's my victim, oh umm customer, I meant customer  >:D

    2nd crack?? Luxury!  Pull them just on first for that 3rd wave piquancy.
  • I'm in - if the numbers are uneven, I'm happy to go in twice to even up. Maybe some PNG Y3 drum seasoning beans.......oh the shame of throwing out 180kg

    I must admit I drank some of my seasoning roast and it wasn't terrible. Can't say I would line up for 180kg of average however ;) Wonder about re bagging some some brand Vi or brand Gr is an option  :stir
  • Out of interest how does this system work?  I wasn't part of the last one, I just remember the fun you where having! :)
  • Have to make sure I buy in my new filters before I roast and send any beans out.  ;D
  • Hey guys - sorry I haven't been around - had exams and all that uni jazz. Will definitely be keen for this again - count me in!
  • I'll give it a go again.
  • hope to be up for this if it can wait a week or so. got a few things going on right now. last time it was a random allocation of roaster/recipient. there were suggestions that making it a straightforward pairing where everyone involved has a buddy they swap with might be good to try. maybe a theme this time? perhaps require it to be a blend?
  • UNM, 1st week of August should give everyone time get sorted? Everyone, I just added a poll so make sure you have your say  :thumb:
  • All I can say is that if the blend wins out I might need more than 1st August to trial one first, maybe I need to get cracking now to make sure I have one that works  :rofl: Lacehim, we are either paired randomly or in set pairs and we roast a certain amount, last time 500 grams which would mean that we could do 2 lots of 250 grams or 1 lot of 500 or some other amount up to 500 grams.  We are given the name and address of the other person and off you send it by a certain date.  It didn't matter if you sent it straight away and the receiver waited for the beans to degas or if you let it degas and then sent it. It was great fun even if some people had to wait for others being pedantic  :rofl: Was a little like Secret Santa where the other person didn't know who had sent the beans until it was revealed later on. Personally I prefer it randomly as then there are no preconceived ideas about what a roast should taste like coming from a certain type of roaster.
  • I am in, in fact I have 500g I roasted for someone that has gone to the US for 2 weeks so its up for a swap right now!
  • Due to my StarJeans styled super black roast with MM and Robusta needing 3 or 4 weeks rest time  >:D @muscles your timing of posting them to the dispatcher (be that Aust Post or UNM or ?) during the week of 30th of July - 4 of August for drinking late in the week or into the next works for me.
  • I already roasted two weeks or so ago for this.  My Black Hole Blend is sure to impress!
  • Holy Crap D, quick, make a post!!! (Look at your post count)  :exclaim:  :exclaim: ;D
  • Rather appropriate  >:D
  • Would certainly explain a few things :D
