About Me:

I'm currently the store manager at the Nuova Simonelli Seattle showroom. Before that, I spent 5½ years working for Emerald City Espresso Machines in Seattle. We carried Nuova Simonelli, Brugnetti, Astra and Laranzato espresso machines. We serviced most major brands.

About My Company:

Nuova Simonelli has been making espresso machines in Italy since 1936, and is one of the biggest, most prestigious names in commercial espresso machines. Come to our showroom for a demo - 1915 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The fact that I haven't paid for a cup of coffee in six years. The laid back atmosphere and the sense of community. And partying with Italians.
