Bry, by now you have done you home work to know that miKe is on the cutting edge when it comes to coffee in Vancouver Washington. In no time he will be the driving force to contend with. Not that I would ever consider anything like contending or compitition. If anything I would join forces with miKe. He knows coffee and he knows what and where he is going with it. His passion is to envy, his coffee is to savor, and his friendship if one gets that far is for life. It is a special thing to call…

His passion is to envy, his coffee is to savor, and his friendship if one gets that far is for life. It is a special thing to call him a mentor. I wish you the best experience of your life Bryan, in many ways I envy you. I know I will see you guys often and I hope to see you at miKe's "Morning After" Grand Opening Party. Free spro all day I hear.<br />
