Hi, I am Greta Avakyan, a Master student from KEDGE Business School in Marseille; France; doing a marketing research on the barista community as part of a class assignment. I am therefore looking for people that would be willing to answer a few questions;

Such as why you enjoy this community, or how and when you joined the community?

This would really help me out in my project:

Thank you for your help!

man, whenever you want to come, my casa is sua casa...

didnt have time to come to atlanta this year but you were great. all the best from croatia and hope to see you in london...

Felicidades por tu presentación en el WBC! Tú y nuestra barista Flor Gozhez han logrado algo sin precedentes: por 1a vez dos baristas de C.A. se meten entre los mejores 10 del mundo!!!

Hey buddy! Great to see you.

How's everything going in Guatemala?

Jaime, ryan and I will be rooting for you man. Good luck tomorrow!

¡Hola Raul! Congratulations on your win in Guatemala. I lived in Antigua for a year and took my coffees many days at & Cafe on 5a Avenida. I met the Finca Filadelfia crew and Jhonni while there - as well! I'll be in Copenhagen writing an article for La Cuadra - the English language magazine (with some Spanish) published in Antigua. See you there!

Go Raul! Best of luck in Copenhagen! Wish I could be there to see you rock, but I'll be stuck in the States. :-( I'll be rooting for you from Philadelphia.

Hi Raul! Good luck at the WBC. Unfortunately our La Marzocco is already being put to full use. But don't worry; You'll get practice time on the real WBC machines.
See you here in Copenhagen soon!

Ok, we can talk when I get there...not so much I can help with last minute, but maybe a little. I get in the 16th and am staying at the Hotel Centrum, you?

Good to hear from you Raul...how has practice been going?
Looking forward to seeing you in Copenhagen....when do you arrive? Will your team travel with you?

Hi Raul! How are you looking forward to Copenhagen?
