Comment by Elizabeth Fedden on January 1, 2009 at 6:59pm - Howdy! Is anybody interested in doing a barista exchange with the other Washington (Washington, D.C.) in spring or summer for maybe a month or a couple of weeks. I work at Tryst we work VERY closely with Counter Culture coffee, and there are lots of super fun coffee and non coffee related events frequently. We are currently doing a monthly Thursday night throwdown and it's going strong. Right now everybody (including myself) is busy preparing for the Mid Atlantic Barista Competition. I'm thinking of applying to evergreen, but I'd like to spend a little time in Oly first. email me at efedden@gmail.com

Ja mon, looking for a crack Barista / technician... into art and can train... whip (pardon pun) other staff into shape.
and BTW... why does the spell checker not recognize "Barista"... it wants to do Batista... trying to tell me something...
Well the potential volume discount is only part of the equation but in fact that aspect of the "theory" is indeed unproven in my experience. Offering choice is certainly a competitive advantage in mature markets like San Francisco, Portland, and Sea…
Hmmm. Very interesting, Mike. Thanks for adding that.
Depending on the roaster I can unequivocally say Hell Yes. Especially in this economy. He asked, I crunched the numbers. It hurts the bottom line and my own struggle to keep my doors open but I just gave a struggling wholesale cafe customer a tempor…
Well I have been using a 2 group Nuova Simonelli Aurelia auto daily for about 4 months and it is the bomb for me. A new one is out of that price range, but I have seen nice used ones priced OK. I'm sure there are lots of good commercial machines out…
How about a "Loyal to The Bean" card with your logo on the front and the roasters you feature on the back?
