Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
When I lived in Olympia, WA I worked as a Barista at an espresso shop. I learned so much there; we bought our coffee beans at that time from Batdorf and Bronson and they taught us how to make a perfect shot of espresso as well as the proper way to froth the milk. It seems I'm a little behind by all that I'm reading. I was a barista from 1994 - 1998. I am in the process of opening my coffee shop and have much to learn. I also want to offer teas for those folks that come into my cafe, but my primary focus will be coffee.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
I would love to go to Hawaii, China, and India.
About Me:
I have such a love for coffee and bringing about that coffee euphoria feeling when you have that awesome cup of espresso/latte. I want my customers to experience that always in my shop.
About My Company:
I moved to the East Coast about seven years ago and I'm like "Where's the coffee shops/drive throughs?" It's driving me crazy; back in Olympia there's one on every street corner-no kidding. So I want to bring that quality cup of espresso and coffee to this side of the world, well to my neighborhood anyways.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
all the fascinating people you meet on the way!
