1. New Additions There have been loads of new things added to the catalogue. From the last newsletter you may remember that I want to try and offer you more equipment at www.hasbean.co.uk .

Within an hour you will have your very own freshly roasted coffee. The kit costs just £30.00 which is a affordable entry point to home roasting. Its really easy, the leaflet enclosed with the kit gives clear instructions. It also means you can save money on the cost of your beans, by buying green beans and you can keep them fresher for longer. Find these at
