Japanalia from Yokohama, JapanThere is only one meaning to the Boss Lady's words: there are so many varieties on the coffee shop shelves nowdays that one is easily fooled to choose something that tastes of anything else BUT ....coffee! So...whenever I see "Hand Crafted Coffee"..I know I have to look somewhere else! About prices: natural or fake, prices have gone way, way up.... 14 May 2012 5:08am Ellebelle from Medemblik, NetherlandsFor that price you can't expect premium fairtrade coffee AND fantastic display .............. 14 May 2012 5:23am Pied Crow from Abuja, NigeriaHah! Handcrafted coffee...by whose hand, I wonder. So hard to get those little beans all looking the same. 14 May 2012 6:29am Monique from Koh Samui, ThailandDidn't even know coffee bags existed, really handy! And the terms they use to persuade us ... fair trade and hand crafted? ;) Your boss lady is very nice to put it in those words Ronnie. 14 May 2012 8:53am Curly from South Shields, United KingdomI've tried that Cameron stuff, it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. It just takes you one good brew and your left with very few beans for yourself :-) 14 May 2012 9:53am Benkirane Thami from Fès, MoroccoNe manquent que les filtres photo-shop! 14 May 2012 11:10am Rick from Toronto, CanadaHmmm, might be a back-handed compliment in there Ronnie... I wonder if you have to drink this the other way around, too. Excellent bean post! 14 May 2012 11:58am B. Thomas from Arlington, Texas, United StatesAromatic & well rounded - that might be Lilly, but I don't think it fits Ronnie. (Did she say your new job was that of shelf-slacker?) 14 May 2012 1:14pm grouser from Ludlow, United KingdomNot quite sure how you hand craft coffee. Perhaps each bean is individually ground in a pestle and mortar of finest travertine marble. No wonder it's so pricey. As for Ronnie I can see he is quite forwards at being backwards. 14 May 2012 1:26pm Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United KingdomThanks, All ! I've had internet problems the last few days but (hopefully) these are now resolved ! Trying to catch up, now. (Ronnie) 14 May 2012 1:42pm Denny Jump Photo from Easton, PA, United StatesI think I would like to try a bit of that "Intense French" ...sounds ...oh, let's say it sounds intriguing!! 14 May 2012 3:04pm @Denny Jump Photo: You make sure you sip it slowly, Denny . . no sense in rushing . . (Ronnie) Lena from San Francisco, United StatesIt's my favour I have a cup of coffee every morning. really nice image. 14 May 2012 3:14pm @Lena: Agree - no day of mine can start without a coffee ! (Ronnie) Universe from Tehran, IranIntriguing shot with a creative framing!!! 14 May 2012 4:45pm Steve Rice from Olympia, United StatesYour display looks just fine, Ronnie. Maybe Arlo could paint out that 'Display Other Way Round' nonsense. 14 May 2012 5:50pm @Steve Rice: He could burn that with the torch, he reckons, Steve. (Ronnie) Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, CanadaLOL....obviously something got lost in the translation! ;-)) 14 May 2012 6:05pm @Laur: Je sais - tant de choix ! (Ronnie) franz from Baden, Austrianothing to complain about your shelf-stacking expertise, ronnie ... and remember, he who asks (even if 'nicely') may get answers he does not like !! 14 May 2012 6:58pm @franz: Does sound interesting, yes ! I've not seen it here in the UK (Ronnie) Sterre from Utrecht, NetherlandsLust no coffee, for me you better stacking tea bags. 14 May 2012 7:20pm @Sterre: Thanks, Sterre. I've never been a tea drinker . . (Ronnie) Hanry from Castricum, NetherlandsGreat coffee, very tasty ..... . I think you did a good job. 14 May 2012 7:46pm Thea from Leeuwarden, NetherlandsLol..so now you suddenly are a s(h)elf made man ronnie :) 14 May 2012 8:18pm @Thea: Be assured the snails are still with me - I collected a new specimen just yesterday after a rainstorm ! He has settled in well. (Ronnie) Elaine Hancock from Rockville, United StatesThat is too funny! Just keep stacking Ronnie. You will figure it out, and be nice! 14 May 2012 8:31pm @Elaine Hancock: lol . . you make it sound so simple . . smiles . . (Ronnie) Steven from Chicagoland, United StatesSounds like someone is going to get roasted pretty soon! 14 May 2012 9:10pm curieuzeneuzemosterdpot from somewhere between viewer and subject, BelgiumI think it's a great compliment if your boss lady says that it has never looked like it does now. 14 May 2012 9:42pm @curieuzeneuzemosterdpot: Unfortunately, I believe she knows what she is talking about . . (Ronnie-on-the-run) Doug from Burnham-on-Sea, United KingdomNice one, at least Arlo hasn't got a hand in it otherwise the coffee just might get burned !! 14 May 2012 10:51pm @Doug: Makes me real uneasy all this talk about Arlo . . I've not seen him for a while . . worrying. (Ronnie) john4jack from Corvallis, Oregon, United Statescoffee is a pacific northwest passion 14 May 2012 11:35pm Loukas from Athens and Thessaloniki, GreeceVery funny and a very inviting content 15 May 2012 5:32am Bron from Canberra, AustraliaI wish they'd displayed that the other way around Ronnie - I for one would have slept better :) 15 May 2012 5:53am @Bron: Does make one wonder what life is like on the other side, huh ?! (Ronnie) Daryl Johnson from Worcester Park, United KingdomIt's okay, you'll get the hang of it Ronnie, give it time... 15 May 2012 7:56am Stephen from Canberra, AustraliaIt does say well rounded - no doubt Ronnie is doing a great job in rotating the display to maintain that aromatic and well rounded taste! 15 May 2012 8:21am Goddess ☼ Ƹl¡ from Tehran, IranAbout this picture, 15 May 2012 8:34am @Goddess ☼ Ƹl¡: Not sure it would carry any better in Google-Persian, Miss Goddess ! (Ronnie) لیلی: خریداری برخی از قهوه نخست وزیر امروز - چگونه شما را در شغل جدید خود را "قفسه، استکر انجام؟ رونی: خوب، خانم رئیس می گوید قفسه نگاه هرگز مانند آنها در حال حاضر "، لیلی. لیلی: مطمئن نیستم که چگونه او به این معنی است که - شما بهتر بپرسید. است. و از آنها بخواهید به سادگی، رونی. : : لطفا نشان دادن راه دور دیگر Tamara from Aarschot, BelgiumTime for a good cup of coffee... That's what I'm going to do right now :) Have a lovely day :) 15 May 2012 9:33am Heinz from Hamm, GermanyFür Handverlesenen Kaffee ist der Preis in Ordnung. Zum Frühstück Kaffee und Zigarette das schmeckt. 15 May 2012 9:46am Julie L. Brown from Indianapolis, Indiana, United StatesWell, I am drinking my morning coffee right now. I buy from a local roaster-a small business for sure. So I guess you could say it is "hand crafted"! :) 15 May 2012 9:54am Adela Fonts from Barcelona, SpainSorry my friend ... today do not understand anything ... But surely the fault is mine and not yours ... my understanding of the language is limited ... In any case certain that this very well and is fun ... your arms are always smart and sharp. A hug, Adela 15 May 2012 11:04am B.Sully from Surf City, United StatesI can smell the beans from here! What a great thing to look at first thing in the morning :) 15 May 2012 12:06pm Jules from Drayton, United Kingdomnot a huge coffee fan (big tea drinker myself) but can imagine a nasty after taste from this particular brand - in fact the perfect coffee for anyone in politics lol 15 May 2012 12:22pm @Jules: ha ha . . yes, most unlikely to do what it says on the tin ! (Ronnie) hugo poon from hong kong, Hong KongPrime Minister coffee... that's really funny, Lilly... though it's Miss Diaz I kept thinking of!:-) And Ronnie, you have done a great job - I'm drawn to study all the details of your display trying to figure out what went wrong (in vain)... Have a nice day! 15 May 2012 1:39pm Don from Spokane, United StatesRonnie is in trouble again! Nice photos and neat conversation. 15 May 2012 2:51pm CElliottUK from Reading, United Kingdom"Intense French" Ah those words bring back the summer of '81. The Carmargue, the passion, the food and wine, the laughter,the walks by the sea, the wind blowing gently in her hair, the feeling of anticipation, the growing desire. Yep, fondling a ladyboy for the first time is unforgettable.... 15 May 2012 2:58pm @CElliottUK: Life sure has its little surprises . . sounds like you scooped first prize there, Chris. (Ronnie) Nicou from Sion, SwitzerlandFantastique cpatage et doubel iamge géanial imagination et mise en valeur. 15 May 2012 3:17pm Michael Fresh from Chester, United KingdomHmm... I'm not fussy on that Southern pecan, but I've been searching the shelves for 'Ketama Gold' but can't find it. Are you hiding something Ronnie...? 15 May 2012 5:57pm @Michael Fresh: I'll have a word with our roast-master, Mr. Arlo . . . he should be able to sniff it out. (Ronnie) Bill Brown from California, United StatesMake mine the Premium Toasted Southern Pecan, hold the cream and sugar. 16 May 2012 1:43am @Bill Brown: If only more of this stuff tasted as good as it reads ! (Ronnie on 'Carte Noire Arabica Exclusif' . . by Kraft Foods !!) DULCIE from Danville, CA, United StatesWhoops, the directions read, "Please display other way around." Are you having trouble following directions, Ronnie ? ;-) 16 May 2012 5:59am @DULCIE: Who said that ? Where are you ? Shine a light so I can see you ! (Ronnie Searching) ❀ Yvonne Simons ❀ from Tilburg, NetherlandsHello Ronnie, can you make me a latte macchiato? 16 May 2012 6:12am @❀ Yvonne Simons ❀: Coming up - Table 6 . . sorry, lady, no dogs allowed in here . . flyingwind风飞扬 from someplace, ChinaLuxurious but not very expensive!

(L&R) Goddess ☼ Ƹl¡ from Tehran, IranOh my GOD ! liiiiikeeeee your way of treatment to others :) 16 May 2012 8:58am @Goddess ☼ Ƹl¡: ha ha . .

(Ronnie) PRASHANT from Mumbai, IndiaWell done...anyway coffee is not My cup of tea....: ) 16 May 2012 11:06am k@ from Paris, FranceAh just when i am on the verge of drinking mine ! I'm not sure i got the humor here just because i'm not an english speaking gal, makes me furious to miss it ;) 16 May 2012 11:25am @k@: The key is the legend on the box - "Please Display Other Way Round" / «S'il vous plaît Afficher inverse» (Ronnie) Marcie from Newton, United StatesHow perfect...just as I sit down to have my morning cuppa! 16 May 2012 12:16pm k@ from Paris, FranceAh thanks, i think i get it now ! :) I love english language, i can read & write it but for humor, always more difficult to catch in its subtelty - and since this page is THE Subtle one, i kind of hesitate time to time if i understood it whole or not, i'm glad i dared asking. Thanks & have a nice coffee together now - far from the shelves ;) 16 May 2012 4:20pm @k@: hee hee . . this dialogue is funnier than the posting - thanks for the smiles, Karine.

Good to know you are back around ! (Ronnie) Christine from Ellemford, United KingdomI wonder if the display box made any difference to the sale of the coffee, I've never seen these before, aah it's down to your stacking Ronnie sales have dropped 17 May 2012 6:28am @Christine: You sound rather much like the Boss Lady, Miss Christine . . I cannot get her to accept it is 'all down to the price of coffee' !
