SWEET BEAN COFFEE

Dear supporters, a little update for those who are still following our progress. We are almost there! The little beauty has been set up and a special gas supply installed. Friday morning we thought we were ready to switch the flip and go, but it turns out she wants a bit more juice in the electricity circuits. Every time we tried starting, she shorted. But thanks to you all, we're just about there.

We'll keep you posted. We have connected with most of you for your goodies, but if our emails got spammed and we missed any of you, please do reach out to us.

To a good and caffeinated upcoming week...

Our Crowdify campaign is now finished, and thanks to all of your incredible assistance, we got almost half the way there! With the help of a few lenders, this has meant I have been able to proceed with this beautiful little machine.

Thank you all so very much for your amazing support, I couldn't have done it without you. I look forward to a post Covid world when I can host you on site.

Warm regards,

Shirin

Dear supporters,

In the cold of winter, your continued generosity is keeping us warm...your love has got us to the completion of Stage 2 funding, BRAVO YOU!

We are now half way through our 90-day mark and would ask you for yet another push, by helping to share this project wider.
Do you know anyone who has not yet heard of us?
Can you pass on the word, to help us bring high quality coffee to more people, supporting women farmers whenever we can.
In addition to our earlier goodies, we also recently added the exclusive gift of a newly published book on coffee, Crop to Cup. It's not yet available in Switzerland, so here's your chance to settle down on the living room sofa with a great cup of coffee and immerse yourself in our world.

Thank you all.

I'm delighted to advise that author Jonathan Kingsman has donated a number of copies of his new book as our latest "goodie". Jonathan spent nearly forty years in the commodity business, as a trader, a broker, and finally, as an analyst.

Crop to Cup is Jonathan’s fourth book on food and agriculture. If you are already in the coffee business, this book will widen your knowledge. If you are looking to learn more about the coffee business, this book will be your ‘go-to’ source. And if you just enjoy coffee, this book will add a new dimension to your daily ‘cuppa’.

December is a time of thanks, this year more than ever before.

We are into stage 2 of Crowdfund, 36% of the way there, and very cognisant of the fact that this is all thanks to you, our generous funders.

We wish you the best of health, peace and comfort for these upcoming holidays, and a better year for all in 2021.

For those of you in Switzerland, we hope to see you soon.

Merry merry and a happy 2021, dear funders!

Shirin (and a team of 3 extraordinary women who have supported me!)
