the strada is beaaauuutiful. i think i'm in love. did you get yours yet??

Yerp. Doing all the training and other quality control things. Which reminds me, may I pick your brain? Anything drinkwise you think I should work on with Cups? Any process stuff (like say wiping out the portafilters before every shot) that you did and think it would have been great if everybody did? I know it's hard for you to have strong opinions on this subject- hahah- but if you would give me your free advice, it would mean alot to me. The baristas you trained are some of the best drinkmakers in the stores. So THANKS! for already making my job easier.

It seems we are permanently connected by coffee!

 

Hi Dustin - Sorry about the late reply, I don't check this site too often. I will be around most of the morning Friday but am not available after 2pm. You're welcome to drop by anytime. - Adrian.

Hi Dustin - give me a call sometime (# on the website) and let me know when you'll be back. You can give the Synesso a whirl.

Hey Dustin - Welcome back to the East Bay. We are out in Pittsburg... a 20 min drive from Martinez. Come by and say HI sometime.

Hey Dustin. I know you are looking for a roaster. I would live to have a phone conversation with you concerning this. I think I can really help you out. I once managed a small cafe and have been where you are. I now am a roaster and have a lot of nsight frm this side of the bean. I am going to send you a friend request. If you'd like to talk, simply accept. If not, no prob. Know that I amnot going to talk to u to just give a sales pitch. I know some great roasters and can tell you what I know. Good luck either way.
