The Story,
A few nights ago fellow GHer CPTBadAss and I were talking about coffee and brewing methods.
Each of us had a story to tell about a local shop that gets very fresh roasted beans. Likewise for the both of us our local shops did their roasting on site.
Now nothing really prompted what came next other than love of the bean.
CPTBadAss and I exchanged info and are in the process of exchanging precious black coffee gold.
Tonight I came home to this,
Honestly this is more than I expected and I haven't even had time to send out my offering.
While being overwhelmed it came to me that I might be able to make a ledger anyone can sign to be part of a coffee exchange.
The idea is that there really aren't rules because nobody is obligated to action. If you ever look at the list and notice a friendly
name I'd encourage asking them if they've got great coffee to share. What I want to do with my new coffee is write about it
here in the exchange thread. Hopefully more people who I know from the forums are into this sort of thing and maybe some more
beans could get circulated. In case anyone is wondering I am going to be sending CPT a bunch of beans,
This thread will be progressing, I'm sure, but the origin and ledger will remain in post 1 :)

***SPECIAL NOTE TO EVERYONE EXCHANGING COFFEE***
Please be considerate that one of the most prevalent allergies is a reaction to nuts.
To prevent any serious issues arising from this exchange please sent regular (unflavored/unadulterated roast) coffees ONLY unless otherwise specified by your exchange pal.

I'm in. This sounds like tons of fun.
My local coffee shop Crema roasts some amazing beans and I've become addicted to brewing with a Chemex.

is vacuum sealing coffee good? don't get me wrong i have both the el cheapo ziploc pump and the food sealer as well (i just use the canisters for that, bags are messy) but i thought that coffee keeps on producing carbon dioxide, that's why the coffee beans that are vacuumed sealed in supermarkets have that little plastic at the top, it's a one way valve for carbon dioxide to escape.
anyway everyone have fun!

Hmmm... cool, new knowledge... Now is the coffee better with "more carbon"?
