CSP Hot Beverage Symposium summary

Immediately following the SCAA Conference last weekend in Minneapolis, I had the pleasure of speaking at and moderating the first ever CSP Magazine (Convenience Store Petroleum) Hot Beverage Symposium, a gathering of about 25 convenience retailer operators (Circle K, BP, Petro Canada, Sheetz etc.) and another 25 coffee industry suppliers to these companies (Mother Parkers, Boyds, Wilbur Curtis, etc.). Having spent a full day with the gr… Continue

Kaffa Cafe, is ready to go!

After years of development of Coffee and Espresso Theorey and their brewing skills, Kaffa Cafe is ready to go for its commercial business. Where can we go? Many! Trianing of baristas, cafes, supply of machines and distribution of coffee beans, and so on, as usual. And, we also have something else to do, which are mainly related to coffee. While it is organized, we have time left, at least for myself to do something else. What can I do for this time? First, I am writing my book of "Kaffa Han… Continue

Starbucks' Slutty Mermaid Making Waves

Looks like the change by Starbucks to revisit their old logo is making some waves, I remember this same issue being a big part of why they changed in the first place. Crazy to me that anyone would find the logo offensive. Link to article on… Continue

A General Idea of Coffee Industry in China (chapter 3)

In chapter 2, we talked about the coffee market in Guangzhou. Let's see it again and maybe in a deeper way. Many cafes are closing and/or transfered, and the market is going down. What do we expect for the future of this market? Is it going down and down? No, I do not think so. When people noticed that some or even many cafes are closing, and they would surely stop to invest for more cafes. Some of the capitals will moved to other industries, like real estates, share markets, and so on. But,… Continue

Tragic Death of our cafe owner

All, I have some tragic news. The owner of RedRock foods and a cafe in queen creek arizona died in a very tragic way just a few days ago. I worked as a barista at the cafe and roasted for another company in scottsdale not related. All the Baristas are stunned and are very sad for the loss. We could not believe it. The Cafe was a very third wave concept. We where excited to have a gb5 and fetco in a shop that has only been open 2 and half months. I am letting you know hoping you can help us bar… Continue

The Coffee Studio.. a pleasant experience.

Drove to Chicago a couple weekends ago. Got lost in the confusion of construction detouring.. but made it none-the-less. The trip presented itself by way of business. I went to train some of the lovely folks at Jesus People U.S.A. on how to properly use their newly acquired espresso machine. J.P.U.S.A. is a wild place... full of characters and crazies. JPUSA is a Christian commune that was founded by some Jesus Hippies back in the day. The own two small towers, now commune residences, and the al… Continue

Customer Education, is that right?

From time to time, we heard about the topics of "customer education". Now, let me say something about it. Are we able to educate the customers? To know this, I would compare coffee with hamburgers. That is the symble of success of Mc Donald (hope the spelling is correct). Is it good? I do not know. But for me, it is not good, simply because I had the better one, much better. But finally, it was replaced by Mac (may I call it like this? Sorry, apple). We have got another one, Subway. It is be… Continue

New Single Origin, Brazil Carmo de Cambara

Brazil Carmo de Cambera Attributes: (1-10 scale) Acid: 8, Body: 7 Texture: vanilla and honey syrup Flavor: Sweetly citrus like lemonade with a hint of cherry- mostly aromatic similar to cherry pipe tobacco. Malty carmelized ginger root, almost brown sugar molasses. Surprisingly thick in body with a mix of hazelnut and vanilla in a honeylike syrup.

Kaffa Cafe, a lonely walker on this lonely planet!

For years after I joining the website and forums abroard where we can meet the baristas, home-baristasm, and coffee professionals, we had been still alone for the good coffee and espresso drinks. In Chinese phrases, we say that it is the coldest when you are at the high level of development. It is what we have to be, and let us be there. I cannot conclude that the effects for the trainees from other training of baristas, while for us, it is so nice to have more and more trainess to have their… Continue

Things That Don't Make Sense This Late At Night

So I like wandering around Craigslist late at night. You never know when you might stumble upon that sofa that just screams "you". Not that I've found that sofa, or anything else, but I've always wanted to window shop yard sales in my underwear... So I'm on Craigslist and I'm noticing more and more grave plots up for sale. Some people have foresight... That late night commercial about sparing loved ones your final costs really make an impression on them. They drop a couple of grand for the piec… Continue

A Location, Finally!

So after several months of driving around, calling agents and visiting spaces, I think we may have found the one. It is an up and coming area, and the community is experiencing a revitalization. We have not signed the lease purposefully until all plans and schematics have been approved by the city. Our architect, Christine Mondoor from evolve architecture, www.evolveea.com is just starting the process. We're working on a budget (who isn't?) and things are really getting exciting, but so scary an… Continue

Our "Derby Day" tradition

There is a tradition at my house. On Derby Day, we eat fried chicken and drink Mint Juleps. To be clear, I live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm not even from Louisville. Maybe its because my brother Nick is a chef there and The Derby is a pretty significant event in his world. More likely, its because it is associated with a pretty good (and rather unusual) drink. So on Derby Day, we eat fried chicken and drink Mint Juleps. OK... its a cliche. I'm fine with that. This year's batch is in the… Continue

It came from the ground

I drink coffee, no actually I sip it, I roast it, I smell it to see what it wants to say. It oily. it's hot, really hot when it comes out. I think about the people all over the world who pick the cherries all day meticulously and there life depends on it. We forget about them sometimes. Continue

Lighter roasts enticing coffee lovers

Recent AP article discusses consumer trend toward lighter roasted coffee in America.

In Sales you are only as good as your team.

You know I forgot to address how amazing my experience was because of the support of my girls, and the set up tear down crew. The owners, well that goes without saying. Two of my closest friends in real life are two of my co- workers. Beta McCurdy and Angela Hill. Beta heads up the training team at Caffe D'arte. She got her humble starts as a barista that I hired for our Seattle cafe. From the start she was wide eye'd and excited to challenge every inch of her abilities. Angela came from an acco… Continue

"ba-RACE-ta" isn't supposed to be the title, but i'm hard-pressed to find a better one

I kind of figured at some point I would sit down and write about my life. Invariably, the as-yet unwritten memoir wouldn't just be a coming of age story (lasting two or three or more decades), but it would showcase my not quite assimilation into North American Caucasoid life. What this has to do with espresso or making coffee isn't entirely clear or direct, but I'm a barista; we'll start from there and hope it gets more relevant. About a month ago a friend of mine caught me looking at Nick Cho'… Continue

Barista = bartender? So, we need spirits.

I am writing my book as a manual, for baristas, so it should include the knowledge about spirits and cocktails. I am learning while I am reading and writing. When I am getting to know it, what do I expect to know about? Should I found the similar situation for this part of the world? Or, it is different. Anyway, let us see and expect. I have got the Bible, in Chinese edition, and it really help. But, the real situation has to be found later. Anybody interested in it? Continue

Northwest Food Service Show

Excited to say I spent the last two days on the "sales side" of the espresso bar at this show. (Only a total of an hour this time making drinks) I always find it amazing to get feedback from the good folks we see once a year. They are the familiar faces of the food and beverage industry that are patient enough to wait among potential customers and coffee fans for a short latte or cap. We surely shine at this show, which is such a great compliment to all the other fabulous vendors providing the e… Continue

No Man Can Serve Two (or Three) Masters

Time and time again, when I talk to people about coffee business strategy it seems the top priority is speed. "I want the customer to be able to be in and out in 90 seconds or less," and the like seem to have somehow become the goal to strive for in regards to customer service. Fine. Good. Quick service is hard to look down on, but is that all there is to it? Of course not! Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that speed isn't a noble practice. I'm saying that it shouldn't take a back seat… Continue

"Free" wifi password software for coffeehouses

I tried, I really did. I tried to be the cool independent coffeehouse that turned the other cheek when someone came in and used my free wifi for HOURS without buying a single item. I'm not sure if it's the current economic situation or what but recently there have been tons of freeloaders coming in and just taking up space that paying customers would normally use. So I've finally decided to put a password on net usage so only customers can use it for free. Anyone know of a good software package… Continue

Late to the Party: Starbucks Pikes Place Roast - Thoughts

Okay, so I like the fact that their stores have taken on a new "Coffee-centric" appearance. I like the fact that the big bags of this blend have a roast date. The signature on the bag is for God knows what, and it doesn't do a thing for me. All of the huge bags I saw of this stuff (is it just me, or does their 5lb. bag look 1/3 larger than most others?) had a roast date of April 11th. Today is t… Continue

We have made many great business decisions since then, but one really bad one-our location. We opened in a building behind a real estate office.

Well, the second Dilworth Coffee Informal Barista Jam is in the books, and it was another success. We had a great turnout, and even with quite a few people who couldn't make it.

From there, we went into latte art, followed up by an all out jam. There were many levels represented, but overall, I feel… Continue
