Hi,

I'm really enjoying the forum.  I was just wondering if you can subscribe to Crema magazine?  I checked out the website but it appear you can only buy individual mags.  I might be wrong, if so can you point me in the right direction.

I would really like to support the magazine that give us the opertunity to have this great coffee forum, and at the same time keep learning about all things coffee.  The Crema magazines I've read at Pioneer Roastery while sipping on one of their excellent coffees haven't been a good read.

Lovey

I subscribed to the Crema magazine a few years ago and the only way to do it back then was to email or phone the Crema magazine staff and organise it that way.  I don't know if thats changed recently tho.
Hope this helps,
Steve.

Hi guys - bottom line was that since we're such a small team, the job of maintaining a database and physically sending out the mags each quarter was almost the 'straw that broke the camel's back' ... we were also concerned about taking peoples' money for a year's subscription in case we couldn't keep it up, since as a [hopefully] ethical organisation, if we felt we couldn't keep it up any longer we would have to send a letter to every subscriber and work out how much we owed each one and send them each a cheque for the unfulfilled portion of their subscription... so, the bottom line was that we thought it safer not to offer something we weren't 100% sure we could deliver.

However, we have a significant number of inquiries about subscriptions each quarter [including from overseas] and to be quite honest, it seems like we need to find a solution, so will definitely see if we can work out a way that we can get them happening again.

The Crema magazines I've read at Pioneer Roastery while sipping on one of their excellent coffees haven't been a good read.
'haven't been good' - gasp; not sure if this was a typo, or not good because they were old issues, or just not good??

A ???

Doh!  I didn't even see that typo.  :o

Hey would I be here asking about subscriptions if I didn't like it.  :)

No pressure, I'm happy to order each issue for the moment. :)

Lovey

I'd like to get a subscription happening too at some stage, as the newsagents down here don't stock it  ::).
