Hi Jason, My main profession is hair. I have been a owner for 9 years..have done hair 26 years. I needed to add more revenue as with all bussinesses expenses have gone up..so i bought some jura commercail machines, played with coffee, and sold alot to my customers. Now I have just signed a 10 year lease on a new location so that i can really be a coffee shop with a kitchen and section off the salon. My salon is very modern retro with the red, white and black colors,so my coffee shop will be in the same theme. I have read hours of discussions here and they have been a great help. I am blessed that i already have a big clientel and they already enjoy the coffee i serve, but I am sure I will be asking alot of questions as I try to get this going..I am very excited on this move in the coffee world..Sheryl Sons
I was actually quite lucky and landed a job at Houndstooth coffee in Austin in my first couple weeks. I am in training there now and am amazed by just how much I still have to learn.
Thank you kindly for checking back with me. That kind of follow up and support is exactly why I became a part of Barista Exchange.
Hello Jason. Thanks for your interest. We can get you green Costa Rican coffee from Costa Rica. However, have you seen the prices? The difference is minimal as opposed to roasted coffee. If you are still interested, let me know, send me an email to claudia@cafedonvittorio.us and we can discuss your interests!
Hey, Jason! Yeah, I find this format a bit more tedious. There are a ton of Facebook/Myspace-type features that really have nothing to do with the conversation, and that tends to lead to FB adn MS kind of interactions. I still have a bit of an issue not being able to PM someone without committing to a friend relationship. And someone I never heard of or from wants me to be their friend? Uhm, do I *KNOW* you?
Maybe I'm just old fashioned, maybe just getting old, I dunno... But, hey, thanks for the backup on the mypressi thread. You should get one. It;'s cheap, it's easy, and at really will make you look long and hard at the ten or fifteen grand worth of sheetmetal and milled brass sitting at your shop. I swear, have your two favorite baristi play with it for an hour, and then have one pull you shots with it while the other uses his favorite commercial machine. It'll blow you away.
Great to meet sincere Pro's like yourself. Other than a little SCAA workshop barista training from Matt the host of this site I have taught myself most machine and milk work. I can't wait for some serious milk steaming/ art work from a trainer of your caliper.
Hey-
I'm headed to Austin, TX in the next few weeks, I'm moving there in May. What coffee shops should I check out while I'm there? I've been there once before but I wasn't able to check out any shops
Sales are up a little bit. My cold brew coffee is a big hit. So not too bad considering I have competition down the street from me now. They are horrible, but nonetheless people still go to them.
