Lots of great items for homeroasters and more!!!Throughout the month of May 2009, Homeroasters.org is conducting auctions on a wide variety of items, many of which the specialty coffee industry donated with jubilation. Items up for bid range from assortments of top-quality green coffee, to magazine subscriptions, grinders, brewers, roasters and much, much more; all proceeds going directly to Coffee Kids.Coffee Kids® Grounds for Hope was born out of the specialty coffee industry by Bill Fishbein in 1988. Coffee Kids® has distributed over $4 million dollars in funds “to help coffee-farming families improve the quality of their lives.” With four distinct areas of focus, Latin American countries have realized improvements in healthcare, education for children, community-based projects and micro-credit loans that have enabled over 4,000 women to own their own businesses and support their families.If you would like to bid on an item, please register as a member of Homeroasters.org and enjoy the auction.Link to AuctionHere are the spotlighted lots that will be open for the entire month:Behmor 1600 Roaster Donated by Joe Behm15 pounds Colombia Organic Don Telmo Reserva Bourbon donated by Royal Coffee New YorkFreshRoast 8 home roasting unit and 10 lbs of coffee, “Big Box” package donated by The Captains CoffeeHeat gun and bread machine roasting set up built and donated by member Chad Beauford15 pounds Colombia Organic Don Telmo Reserva Bourbon donated by Royal Coffee New YorkPoppery 1 popcorn popper/roaster donated by member Chad Beauford10 pounds Colombia Organic Don Telmo Reserva Bourbon donated by Royal Coffee New YorkNesco Professional Gourmet Home Coffee Roaster Donated by Nesco5 pounds green coffee donated by Berres Brothers“Peace Blend” Sculpture designed and built by member John A C Despres15 pounds Colombia Organic Don Telmo Reserva Bourbon donated by Royal Coffee New YorkChad Sheridan
