Finally the contest you have all been waiting for is back, Counting Beans with me @c0ff33a - you can see all those lovely roasted coffee beans pouring out of my roaster into the cooling tray - so how many are there? I put 5 kilos of coffee beans in - how many actual beans is it. This should be easy, just count them as you see them pour out!

What's that? Too hard to count them - come on it's 10 Steem at stake, are you trying to say I want to keep it for myself? Well OK maybe that is a little too difficult for you all to guess - I could share a video then you could slo-mo it down and count the beans as they pour out? No? Tough audience you lot. Ok, let's try something a little more simple, how about a few beans in a mug - that easy enough for you?

When I say mug, what I of course mean is a super awesome Coffee Mug the wonderful @saffisara found and sent to me 🤗 Make sure you send her your appreciation on her latest posts for this super awesome coffee containing vessel.

There you go then, it's beans in the cup not in the tray - the cup holds.....not so many it's easy! Wait, the cup is too far away you say? If you insist let's have a closer look.

Is that better? No? You want to see it from the top? Maybe I should just count them out of the cup - would that help?

From the top, my coffee beans...in a cup from @saffisara. You forgot to ask where my coffee beans are from! This roast is from Cuba - yes that's right Cuba don't only offer the finest cigars rolled on dusky maidens thighs, they grow coffee too. Just don't try and sell it with a Pay Pal account -_-

A different angle. I was going to measure the cup diameter and height - but I forgot so you better stick with good old fashioned guessing.

![IMG_6468.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPHYkB8NeasLQVc2Zf4ppswKA8ovLsQZVuCwmqinj4vKu/IMG_6468.JPG)

A different angle, maybe you have some fancy computer program that can work out the number of beans electronically from the photos - if you do it most likely cost a lot more then 10 Steem so you deserve to win!

![IMG_6469.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWA1b7E4bEbGkJTp73AzN9a1SptTM2VtkdEZFoiCheEc7/IMG_6469.JPG)

The rules are simple, how many coffee beans are in this mug sent to me by the wonderful @saffisara? Upvote if you wish but not required. Resteem if you wish but not required. Leave a comment with a number of beans if you want any chance of winning, not required if you don't want to try and win. You can guess as many times as you like, but if you guess correctly more then once - only one will be counted to receive part of the reward fund. (**So if you are the only person to guess correctly you get 10 Steem, if you guess correctly 3 times and four other people also guess correctly you each get 2 Steem (5 correct answers counted, 10 Steem divided by 5)

10 Steem is up for grabs in the contest, and it will be divided amongst the people who get the closest to the actual number of beans give or take 10 coffee beans either side. If nobody gets that close it will expand to 20 either side, and keep growing until we have winners.

To give you a fighting chance, it's more then 10 coffee beans and less then 2000 - that's making it too easy for you!

From counting beans to @steembasicincome shares, I love them and I love giving my Witness voters them too. As a Witness team @c0ff33a is a Witness with @derangedvisions and @kaliju, the official Witness of @dstors bringing decentralised marketplace to the Blockchain and supporting a wide range of people and communities.

" A Shy Old British Geography and Biology Geek, is a Nut addict and loves Coffee and obcessed with Jax Jones" as @steemflow describes me.

The greatest challenge we face on Steemit is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steemit posts, I also distribute [coffee roasting machines](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/collections/coffee-roasters) and also [espresso coffee machines](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/pages/espresso-machines) and [roast my own Speciality Coffee Range.](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/collections/speciality-roasted-coffee) being one of the premium [coffee suppliers Yorkshire](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk) including a wide range of [filter coffee sachets](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/products/knightsbridge-filter-coffee-sachets-50-x-3pint?variant=31757582282)
