    Most of us on the forum will get emails inviting us to complete surveys, have online meetings to hear about a wonderful product or a job offer.

    Really interested in peoples views on House Blends - the likes of Starbucks, Costa, Nero I owned 3 coffee shops in the 1990s which we roasted inhouse for and my muscles still remember lifting 60kg sacks of green beans. We sold them in 1998 so were kind of early in the coffee revolution...
