c0ff33 vlog 1st January 2022

Happy New Year - here it is what has turned into the first vlog of 2022 for various reasons, and I am starting the year how I expect it will continue - at work roasting coffee!

So Christmas came and went in it’s usual blur, it seems like no time since it was the 23rd December and we were shutting up for a week and 2 days break - it’s amazing how quickly the days just disappear - you think you have so much time and in a blink of an eye it’s gone and time for working again. Of course I was never far from work all week, orders have kept rolling in and @whiterosecoffee subscriptions have had to ship out this week still, along with orders from other channels. Pennine Tea and Coffee orders have been stacked all week ready to process and ship on the 4th with FedEx - it all seems to have progressed quite smoothly.

The new 5kg is in place, but thanks to all gas fitters being off work between Christmas and New Year the gas is still to be connected - hence needing to get some roasting done to start next week with - we had stocks built up pre-Christmas but they have moved quick and it was time for a top up.

The 30kg roaster needed work itself though, the external ducting fan that was sucking the smoke out to help because the length of my ducting is too long for the roaster fan alone, finally seized up just before Christmas - and once that fan stops it becomes just a blockage in the pipe making the problem worse. I have been waiting for a dry day to get out and remove it - which turned out to be today - once I had it removed for cleaning and built back the ducting it’s been back to roasting so new stock is ready for next week.

Who knows what 2022 will bring to challenge us, but for sure it’s going to be another long hard working year for me.
