Barista Exchange

Finally my nerdom of coffee is met and challenged by other uber coffee nerds. I raise my imaginary drink in hand to the hopes of in depth coffee conversations spurred by this site.

I thought; what if you could taste more of that without the "roastyness" . Well, I enjoyed but It wasn't anythng I could sell. But, wow it's nice to try some coffees before the are ready, you never know what you'll discover. It's raining a little bit today up here in Dallas what about down in your neck of the woods?

We did also have a customer who wanted something very light and so I roasted a Colombian Ex. for him to about the same, just into first crack. How about you?

At 3:38am on April 18th, 2008, Pangi said…: Hey CJ. Saw one of your comments in a roasting group. Your company is from the ground up? No 'professional' training? I'm moving deeper into the world of coffee, currently a home barista/roaster........ with the aim of starting my own biz one day. I'm inspired by your little organic company. Awesome!
