We produce the "other great American coffee", as Kurt Stouffer of Rowster.com certifies. In Puerto Rico's cool/wet mountains. Pangi, it depends what coffee you want to share with your community. We produce and wholesale green and roast beans. Quality, freshness, service. We are more than fair trade; we are US, and eco-sensitive. Cannot help you if you want great coffee for $4/lb. We have learned to market our coffee to coffee lovers, and they love it! israel

Gidday Pangi, the trip home was good and a bit of an eye opener. Mainly in Auckland, did not have a chance to catch up with Eddie (Masterton) which was disappointing. Looking at actucally doing something down there, which would be nice. I will write up a longer, more detailed blog posting on the trip soon.

What kind of green coffee are you looking for? Let me know and I'll get you a quote. I have some local suppliers in KC that I work with. You may also want to find a local coffee shop that roasts on site and see how much they charge. If you buy it in the 154 lb bags you can generally get it for under $2.50 a lb. depending on the commodity pricing for the day. http://futuresource.quote.com/charts/charts.jsp?s=KC&o=&a=D&z=650x450&d=medium&b=bar&st My site is www.baristadecasa.com

Hi, I'd like to start an email chain for us that are in the process of opening a coffee shop/cafe. Are you interested? If so, send me you email and I will include it. I figure we can ask each other the questions we have, I'm sure we all have different experiences and knowledge that we can learn from each.

It's going alright, slow, but steady build. It's mostly offices around here, so density is high and I'm infiltrating them all one-by-one

Hey bro, your mates (I forget their names- guy and a girl, he's a builder) came by on your recommendation today. Thanks! I could tell that the decision to have a second flattie was one given much thought- being unemployed with $kiwi in London will do that, but he considered it worth the price- I felt sorry for them and gave them free pastries

It's strange- here, in London, the flat white has become more of a standardised drink, pretty much thanks to the cafe of the same name. I remember making coffee in Sydney that loads of places had their own ideas of what it was and some people even went as far as to say "it's just a bloody latte in a cup!" Predominately it is a stronger, smaller drink, but here, almost everybody is doing it the same- dbl shot in 5oz cup. By everybody, I mean the dozen or so places that know what it is.
I'm just launching a "flat white happy-hour" at my place in the afternoon- mainly so that I can use the name in the window to identify my place amongst the Australasian population as a place to get a good coffee, but also to get the others into something that -in the neighbourhood- only I make

I use 5oz cups too. most of my business is takeaway though and the standard cups are 8oz, in those i put a double espresso and in the porcelain more of a dbl ristretto- same dose really but just kill it at 22-25 secs.

yep, I'm open
