tompoland reviews, I also intend to eventually promote certain grinders for purchase direct from the manufacturer or regional suppliers along with a discount code offer. And I think that crosses a line
We have Osmio giving promotions now and again, we used to have blackcatcoffee, crown and canvas, we have Paolo from ACS and we have the odd offer from Bella Barista. They all have interests in their own business and also promote their products, naturally, in their own websites. We even had Lance at one point here and until things went the wrong way he was a welcome person.
But I don’t know what the exchange of emails with Dave was, and therefore can’t comment further. But looking at the surface, it is strange that you feel you need to leave the forum in order to run, effectively, a coffee related business outside. You don’t need to advertise your discount codes , your business or suppliers here - you could just be the same Tom we already know - but presumably you’d have no interest in doing that now your focus is growing your business.
All the best in your new venture.
