Yeah, we've got the Beloya all figured out. It's not as good as PT's, but better than the stuff from Black Sheep. However, we have a bunch of Ethiopia Amaro Gayo which, in pretty much everyone's opinion at Bull Run, is better than the Beloya. We're still have not opened, which is quite frustrating; but we're told the space will be ready for opening on Tuesday. We should have our online store operational right around that time as well. A lot of craziness around here as of late...

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…
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…

So I'm in Chicago right now, very reminiscent of Coffee Fest...oh, and I'm going to The Violet Hour tonight with Tyler...
Time to make the donuts, as they say.

Just to rub it in a little, I'm going to do some cupping and help with the clover specs on Friday.
