BitBrew Promotion!

[edd]

First off, let me say thanks to everyone who has purchased coffee or tea from BitBrew. Many of you have had very kind words to say about the site, the product, and, most surprisingly, me.

So here's an incentive for you to help me answer that ubiquitous bitcoin criticism, "What can I actually buy with bitcoins that I would really want?"

If you bought coffee or tea from BitBrew.net after June 19th, refer a new customer and they can enter the email address you used when you made your purchase as a single-use only coupon code to receive 10 % off their purchase. Once their bitcoins are confirmed, I'll email you a coupon code good for 15% off your next order!

15% off coupon codes will only be distributed for bringing in new customers. If you can't convince anyone to try one of our premium products, you may use your own email to get 10% off your next order but you will not receive the 15% off coupon code.

But wait, there's more!

Procrastinators, you're in luck. Make a purchase before Septmeber 30th at regular price, and you can also refer a new customer to receive your 15% off coupon code!

After much consideration, I’ve decided to bestow the highest BitBrew honor upon one of my favorite Bitcoin related sites.

Introducing The Bitcoinduit Blend!
 
BitBrew’s roaster has taken a selection of high quality beans from Colombia, Panama, and Brazil to create a blend worthy of the BitBrew and Bitcoinduit names.
 
I’ve also created a special Round to celebrate this joyous occasion: The BitBrew-Bitcoinduit Round.
 
I can’t think of a better way to spend all those extra bitcoins you’ve won.

And I have just taste-tested Edd's Ethiopian Harrar.  Harrar is one of my favorite varietals.  Once upon a time I had an incomparable cup of Harrar made by an Ethiopian chef who had just opened his own restaurant where I was living.  None of the Harrar I've found since has *quite* stood up to that memory (perhaps because the breakfast he cooked me with it was wonderful) , but a couple have come close.  This comes *very* close -- a lovely, medium-dark roast fresh cup of rich, low-acid coffee that nonetheless had a slight *zing* to it.  I can't quite manage all those comparisons to oak, chocolate, fruit and flowers that coffee connoisseurs have adopted from the wine world, but take it from me that this coffee is excellent.

And so was the price.  I see that prices have gone up a bit since I ordered two weeks ago, but only enough to compensate for a somewhat weakened bitcoin.  I will hope that they come down again when the market gets stronger -- meanwhile, I will be ordering from Edd again.

Tomorrow morning I'll be trying the Sumatra, after which I'll post another review.

Just wanted to remind everyone that the "Refer a Friend" promotion is still going on at BitBrew.

Just got mine today, smells amazing =) Thanks

[Kluge]

I've been procrastinating purchasing coffee based on how high (perhaps unrealistically) I expect BTC to be valued at. I ran out of edd's fantastic beans a few weeks ago and I can't wait any longer -- definitely going to try getting a mate to try this out. The beans are shipped in a very thoughtful quality reclosable airlock bag and the beans are incredibly aromatic and delicious. Edd's care to detail, customer satisfaction, and quality overall is an ideal example of how free markets can self-regulate with everyone involved in the transaction being a winner. I was practically begging the owner to cut me in on the deal a couple months ago I was so excited by what I received and how edd does business. (by the way, that offer's still up!    )

(but damn - I just realized I purchased back in May -- will that 15%-off coupon ever expire?)

I was planning on setting the coupons to expire at the end of October, but there might be some wiggle room for the temporally challenged. 

[Littleshop]

Anyone want to send me one of those coupons, I think I am ready to try bitbrew!

[ErgoOne]

Don't have any coupons, but the coffee Edd sells is good.  I've got another batch on order already, and expect I'll be buying from him regularly.  (His Ethiopian Harrar is superb.)

[forexmasterja]

+1 for selling the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.

[Andre Jensen (World Bitcoin Exchange)]

[Littleshop]

So far, none of the codes/addresses sent to me have worked. 

[edd]

Littleshop,

I was a little behind in getting the last few codes entered. I usually wait until the bitcoins show up in my wallet before updating everything and sometimes that happens while I'm sleeping or at my day job.

PM me and we'll straighten this out. 

[Thralen]

Figured I'd drop a note in here: Received my two 12 oz Jamaican blue mountain today. Excellent coffee. I knew I was in for a treat when I received a reply saying something like "We'll roast that on Thursday and get it shipped on Friday".

Great Job, highly recommend Bitbrew...

Thanks for the great feedback, Thralen.

One reason I haven't been too worried about a new SCI is that I like manually replying to my customers, letting them know exactly what's going on with their order.

[deherbs]

Bought the Jamaican blue mountain and it's amazing!

I must say I am impressed with bitbrew!
