Only a few days to go..

This evening after closing, I went to the shop to practice. Armed with my tamp, a gallon of milk, and some good music, Gabbie and I poured lattes until we ran through our gallons. A lot of good looking drinks were made, photographed and dumped, but the best feedback I could have was later, driving home.

I was discussing what went down with Lenore, and she commented that I need to slow WAAAY down on my pours. Thinking this through, she couldn't be more right. I felt like I was under the gun… Continue

Selling my Nuova Simonelli Appia 1-Group


I purchased this machine for catering, but I've since gotten away from that. I catered four wedding receptions about two years ago and pulled about 2,000 shots on the machine. It's great for catering or as a powerful home machine. I would like to get $2,000 for the machine. I'll also include a FLOJET pump.

By Jose Carlos Leon Vargas, international program coordinator at Coffee Kids



When women in the community of Los Naranjos told me about their daily schedule, waking at 4 am and going to bed at 10 pm, I realized that my 7-hour trip down bumpy roads to arrive there couldn’t be compared to the challenges these women face every day.



May 21-22, I visited three Coffee Kids-sponsored microcredit and saving groups with Nelly Zárate, project coordinator with Coffee Kids’ partner… Continue
