[DIYbio] Re: This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone happen to love coffee and order lab reagents in bulk?

I also wanted to add that the pGreen I use the bacteria literally turn green... so there is no need for UV light. I would also be happy to send you some :). My experience with pGLO isn't that great though... perhaps as a source of a promoter would be what I would use it for

another place for Taq would be openbiotech. I like them... they are "open source"

So with the help of you guys I'm just getting to the finishing touches of putting my lab together and it's about time to start actually using all this expensive equipment. 

As I'm learning, it can be quite expensive to keep a lab stocked with all the necessary supplies (enzymes, gels and the like), especially when you're quite small and can't order in bulk.

Anyway, I roast coffee as a small business, meaning that I get green coffee beans straight from farms all over the world and "cook" them so they're ready to brew with.

Now I'm just putting this out there for the heck of it, but if anyone would be interested in trading small quantities of lab reagents for freshly roasted coffee I'd be very excited to do so. 

My coffee retails for $12 a pound, but I'd be more than willing to trade a pound of coffee for like $6 (roughly what I buy it at) in supplies so that you come out on the top side. 

I'm not sure if this is viable for anyone on here, or if anyone would even be the slightest bit interested, but why not ask, right?

Of course, I take great pride in my coffee. I get it from the best farms in the world and put extensive time and effort into every pound I roast to ensure it's of the highest quality. I can roast as much or as little as you like, no quantity is too small and no quantity, within shipping constraints, too large. Every pound would be roasted to order the day of shipment as is my policy. 

In closing, I certainly don't want it to seem like I'm asking for a handout. I'm simply offering my services in return for yours.
