Subject: Starting another green coffee bean coop in Houston
|
I'm just getting into roasting my own green coffee beans (and having a great time of it). I've bought sample packs of green beans from several online dealers & pretty much know what I like; mostly everything. The problem I'm having is what to do with all this coffee. I buy a pound of this, a friend guides me to a pound of that, I read about the latest find from Ethiopia & I have to have a pound of it too. Since I only roast a quarter of a pound at a time the stuff is building up fast. I'm looking for other coffee fanatics in the neighborhood who might be willing to form a coop of sorts with the goal of dividing up the orders into manageable quantities of beans. If anyone's interested email me & we'll see where we can go from here. Robert Harmon -- http://tinyurl.com/pou2y Remove "Z" to reply via email.

You should get in touch with John F and JonR from the coffeegeek forums and others also. They both are in the Houston area. I believe JohnF posts here occasionaly. They are in contact with various Vendors in the Houston area. JohnF distribtes coffee sometimes at www.greencoffeebuying.club and is constantly buying bags of coffee. JonR attends a houston homeroasting club also, I beleive. I hope that getsyou going. Joe www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com "freinds getting together and splitting bags of coffee"
