Count me in! If you’re open to bribery, I could always make a return shipment. If not, disregard my last comment.

Now that’s a great idea. This could well become a chain letter kind of thing if someone picks it up. Nice!

I would gladly send someone a bag of coffee of my choosing from here in Vancouver to another person in exchange for a picture. Maybe we could work something out where I send some coffee to you and one other person, who in turn sends coffee to me and one other person, and so on. We could start a website with all the pictures of people drinking coffees from around the world! Also an excellent way to taste coffees some of us would never be able to try locally.

I guess kindness is contagious. I would love to join but ain’t got my grinder yet. nevertheless, the idea is truely unique jim.

Count me in… I’m getting an aeropress tomorrah!

i would love to try some of your coffee!!! even if i dont “win” i would love to get a coffee exchange program going. i mean seriously why havent we been doing this all along? great idea……

You got my attention gladly have a brew of a fine coffee and I garantee the picture will have a big smile to go along with that act of kindness. And I deffenetly have some coffee to pass around.

Count me in too Jim.

I like Micheals Idea of a coffee ‘piramid’ scheme in exchange for pictures of everyones ugly muggs. It would be good to put faces to all the names.

I’m in for sure.

oh,

and welocome home from Norway. It seems that you had a very similar experience to mine. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to go back.

Did someone say monkeys?

Count me in…

If I win, I’ll brew at a few pressure profiles of your choice, and post a video of the extractions

I’d love to try a cup of a component of your WBC blend (will Anette be roasting it in the Hottop ).

Great idea, a multinational coffee exchange program?

I’m willing to dispatch beans from Melbourne, Australia.

Nim.

Well I’m always interested in sampling fine coffee - there seems to be a scarcity of specialty beans in Australia which is something I am currently working on. I participate in regular coffee geek sessions so I would be able to share it with some members of Melbourne’s specialty coffee scene and I have a trusty camera!

An intriguing idea! Send some get some. It shouldn’t be of a pyramid style, though as it seems to me that only a very small percentage actually benefits from these schemes. But as a chain-letter kind of thing I’m definately in. If anyone is interested in some coffee roasted in Oslo, Norway after reading Jims article I can help as I live there.

As for the random act of kindness thingy that this started out with, I already have my camera ready and my favorite mug washed and polished.

Yep, great idea. Hell, let’s grow the living crap out of it and start up a whole coffee exchange webpage! Sort of like a giant time-share ;P

On another matter; quick question - who’s off to the nordic barista cup?

Cheers,

Luca

A coffee exchange sounds like a great idea to me, but I don’t think I want to be the one in charge of setting it up. With work, hobbies and the study group I have more than enough to deal with!

As for the Nordic Cup - yeah, I will be there from the Friday onwards. Really looking forward to catching up with lots of people…

Great idea this coffee exchange! I’m up for sending some coffee from the desert.

I’ll throw my name into the hat, any coffee Jim is sending will no doubt be fantastic!

Nice! I’m in for that coffee love but only if you throw the double-cleft weird bean in with the package.

i have never had a cup of coffee in my life, if that’s not a good reason to try something decent i don’t know what is

Can I have it please. My usual tosh is nearly finished.

I am out at the moment too! Generous of you Jim.

Cool news, James! Pete Wolff from Veneziano will be going up - maybe you guys met at the WBC? Be sure to give him a hard time ;P

I’d be interested! I could send a sample of my favourite blend in return

The coffee equivalent of a chain letter …. fab Can you imagine it; “The first person to send coffee containing robusta will have seven years bad luck” or some other typical chain letter threat! lol

Seriously though, sending coffee to the “next person on the list” or something similar sounds like a brilliant idea. A bit like the book thing (name escapes me) where books are left “in the wild” for others associated with the scheme, and they leave something in return for the next person.

PLease someone leave me some Esmeralda ……. hehe

I like coffee, especially nice coffee. Can I have it please?
