So tomorrow I’m off to Guatemala for a few days. I always panic before these trips that I’ve done everything I can to help the team here at Has Bean towers have trade customers been told and is everything in place. I guess this is the control freak in me (and trust me I am a control freak).

I’d ask you guys as customers to just keep in mind they have lost the hardest working member of staff( shh don’t tell them) for a few days, and order times may be a little slower than normal, and email response times may be not there normal before you have finished writing them a response in your inbox type of reply.

I shall come back with many a war story to share with you all.

Don’t miss the latest in my mug on The Brazil Cachoeria Canario at the link http://www.inmymug.com

there is a new in my mug posted today at the link here

I promise to stop posting about In my Mug videos as long as you go to http://www.inmymug.com and add it to your RSS feed, or add it to you favorites page and check twice a week 🙂

Decided it might be fun to do some very small video posts for in my mug. Again a work in progress let me know what you think. Take a look here. Some little videos of stuff I want to talk about.

Got some great new coffees to sort this weekend and also plan to do a newsletter (I know its been a while).

Have a great weekend everyone.

I’ve been able to finally get episode two of in my mug up. Unfortunately my hard drive in my desk top computer gave up over the weekend, and I’ve only just got the computer back. The good news was I had a full back up, the bad news was having to get that back up installed.

Its still not exactly as I would like and I’m a little dissapointed with the sound, I think I may need to get a microphone. I also have an idea I hope to start on the next one as an on going development.

Take a look at it here.

So my new project I’ve been talking about on twitter. I’ve been thinking for a while about video bloging but wasn’t so sure what to do. My spelling (as you will know) is not so good, and people tell me all the time that my passion for coffee comes across when I talk to people, so it seems like a good idea.

I have a voice for text bloging but I’m giving it a go any way. The project is called http://www.inmymug.com and is a weekly video blog, on a different coffee each week. I’m not sure how it will develop but I hope it will branch into cupping’s, espresso, roasting, blending and all things coffee. It’s also a chance to share a special offer on that coffee for the week.

I would really like some feedback on this first edition(email the bad, post comments on the good ☺ ) . I know I speak to fast on this one, I know it’s not as polished as it could be but I hope you agree its something to build on.

I also want your interaction on them, I’d love some questions and some ideas what you would like to see.

I see it as complimentary to the blog the twitter and all the other things I love doing in the social world. I also hope it’s a chance to share some of the things I’ve learnt about coffee.
