I live in Portland Oregon where I am the director of training at the American Barista & Coffee School and Bellissimo Coffee Advisors. I am also a partner at Water Avenue Coffee. I spend most of my time training new and existing business owners how to open and operate successful retail coffee businesses.

No other coffee school can match the scope of ABC's educational and retail success-building curriculum.

A friend of mine who is relatively new to the game just posted her FB status as, "OH. MY. GOD. I want to grow up to be a Spanish-speaking trainer at the American Barista and Coffee School. This is my new life plan."

She's never been to W.A. or ABC and she's already talking like this, lol.

 

I'll try to swing her by the shop sometime when you're there.

 

I did manage to stop in a couple weekends ago.  Beautiful bar man, it actually is very similar to the layout of my "dream bar."  We'll have to get together sometime over there and I'll show it to you, haha.

Hi Matt, I like the new format for the BX site- nice, simple and clean. Always enjoy the time I spend on BX- been so busy with openings in Australia and Malaysia that time has been really tight...hope to have a bit more over next few months. Cheers
