Robby rob...I'll have Jess hook you up with some single origins. Cool? Let me know what you think also.

Excited to work with you guys. I've heard great things. I need to get my butt up to Michigan, the secret state of great espresso.

We'll hook ya' up on goodies.

I'm at the shop almost every day - but I do want to make it over to check out your place.

As far as jams go - I could bring a couple some coffee from a few roasters in the area - Water Street out of KZoo - Rowster (a friend - might try my hand at competitions with his stuff next year -

I just met the guys from Moonmonkey out of Bourbonnaise, IL this weekend - checked out their shop and spro - both were good - but I bet we could get some of their competition espresso for a jam - they would probably even join in.

as far as machines go - I have a couple of the Franke Ecolino Super-Autos left from drive through application - also a little 110 La Pasquini Livia. Lastly - and I'm holding on to her - my refurbed 2-group Linea

I have some blenders and other stuff too -

What are you outfitting?

Josh:D

a little jam - yes please - What a coincidence - I have a fully refurbed Linea in my basement - a little La Pasquini Livea on my desk and a couple of Franke Ecolino's in the garage for good measure. I wish I had a good home for any of them.

Would love to come over for a jam - how can I help organize?

What'd I see about a MI Jam? - in GR myself - would love to meet up

Josh:D

Hey, Rob

Grand rapids is home for me! More Michiganders, I say! I'm not sure... Where's Mason? I'm not a barista, home roaster, actually, but I love a good shot.

Alright... I'll probably stop in to see you sometime within the next couple weeks. Are you going to the GLRBC?

I second the woot on mich coffee... I'm up for a jam sometime. I am unemployed as of saturday, so I'm up for it whenever... what days do you work, you aren't that far away from the zoo...

Michigan Coffee.... woot?

That'd be pretty sweet

we roast our own, i think it's the best...but i've been drinking it for 9 years, so i must like it!

Barista in a bookstore must be pretty amazing. Definitely never run out of things to read. Who are some of your favorite authors? I'm always looking for the next great read.

Michigan is a great place to be a barista! Snow and all.
