[Coworking] Re: Coffee brokers/wholesale recommendation

[Jeannine]

How marvellous of you to bring this up.

I was recently approached by a business involved in my Amsterdam space, 
Moyee Coffee .  They have a Fair Chain thing 
going on.  We have been talking about how they can get involved with Open 
Coworking; we are in preliminary talks and so nothing has been given any 
kind of shape at all.  They are nevertheless intrigued by the possibilities 
and that is as far as we have gotten.

Until now the discussion has centered around exactly what Alex says, they 
don't really want a "we talk you up and get a discount"  kind of 
relationship but are interested in the long term.  And I am not at all 
interested in sending a pitch to the community, I don't think that is what 
I am for.  And the logistics of course are both daunting and interesting.

The coffee, I have to tell you, is FAB.

So I am just throwing that out there as food for thought.  Maybe I should 
set up a list for folks interested in taking this particular notion 
further?  Or should we just get a show of hands?  :-)

Cheers,

Jeannine
