i work at a bistro called "Sweet Masterpiece" it is in Portland's Pearl District, we serve a fantastic local micro-roastery, by the name of Bad Beard, can't wait to pull you a shot!

oh hey, that would actually be awesome, i'll let you know

Nice to meet ya man! Love the shop, and hope you keep doing the stuff! Hope to see you up here in Cha-town sometime in the near future, and definitely in February!

Hey Zech,
Headed to Athens Saturday. Where's the best coffee round there? I want to meet you and Dave sometime. Love to see RedEye. You can call me if you will be around there. (704)340-3005.

Yeah! I just got on! You really noticed my prescene quickly. How did you do that?

Technically, my appendages are called flippers. Not fins or wings. As for typing, let's just say that it's a good thing my species also evolved a decent size beak.

So, yeah- see ya at work tomorrow!

hello Zech, greetings from Canada - Steve

Hello Zech. Good to hear from you. I'm hanging out in Washington DC for the time being. It's a good time to be here. Still have my eye on returning to Guatemala. What about you? Any travels? Best wishes!

Whoa 1000 bucks?? Yeah, I'm not planning on roasting for profit anytime soon, although that might be a cool idea for the future. Anyways man, I was just thinking about buying a cheap little single batch air roaster for home use. They have them from around $80- 150 on SM. If that's not what you're looking for its ok, I just don't think I have the funds to support any large purchases in the near future.

Haha, no, it totally did. Don't worry, I tip. thanks for the link

Hey man, I really enjoyed coming by redeye and seeing you do your thing. I'm looking forward to becoming a regular

Absolutely man, i'm really looking forward to it.

Hey thanks a lot for the add. I'm really looking forward to learning more about about the industry here in Athens. I really want to start learning about the roasting aspect of it all but it's proving harder for me to find a job than I thought it would!

Hey man, we've actually discontinued the cuppings at Trax. Ben's working on putting a bar in at the roastery, we'll start them back up once that happens. Didn't see you at 2 story this morning.

Yeah, i've tried the sidamo on my chemex at home and loved it but i haven't tried it out on french press yet. Yeah, i often find that the different profiles from different beans really come out well when you experiment with different brewing methods.

Actually I have to correct myself, its not a 1000faces shop that opened, but we supply them the coffee, and they hired me when I went to train their staff. It's a nice place, we're using the nuova simonelli aurelia, which I've never worked on before. Great place for community, but then again, most quality minded shops are. We're also doing all french press and melitta pour overs. We're across from earth fare on south lumpkin if you wanna come check it out. I'll actually be there tomorrow morning. It's called 2 story

Hey zech, thanks for the add man, its hard to find good coffee ppl in athens. we just opened up a new specialty shop in five points though, and i hear there's gonna be an all chemex counter culture shop opening up on prince pretty soon

welcome, good to see you.
