End of an auction

By James Hoffmann | Published: August 18, 2007

Cup auction is now over. The winners?

The Kenya Cup goes to Poul Mark at Transcend Coffee for $300/£151.23

The Costa Rica Cup goes to Steve Leighton of HasBean for $107.12/£54

Which makes a grand total of $407.12/£205.23 for the two cups going to CoffeeKids. This is wonderful, I am very pleased and will now be obsessively wrapping these babies up to get them shipped. Many thanks and much respect to the two highest bidders and thank you to all of you who bid, it appears that there are lots of generous people reading this blog.

UPDATE:  Steve has very, very generously upped his donation for the cup meaning the total for the two cups is now an even, and rather wonderful, $500.
