thanks for the comment on "americas next top roaster" I'm convinced i'll be roasting some day in some perportion. perhaps I will teach myself. there is so much i want to experiment with i cant imagine relying on others for all my experiments.

Looking forward to seeing you in Victoria! I am confident you will be happy with the coffee scene!!!

Hi Banks,
Thanks for the invite. This site is helping me to become re-inspired to make a real go at this podunk redneck town.

You're a CAD? I've lurked a few times, but never posted. I'll look for you. My wife's a fairly active CM and the shop is home to Mint Hill CM and Union County Mommies events from time. They're all great groups.

Good to finally meet you, Banks. Thanks for the coffee, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Hey Banks. Now, if only we can figure out how to get you in The Guild...

Sorry I missed you. I had the day off so I could go to the intermediate espresso lab this Saturday.

Hi Banks!!

no problem. It may not have ended the way we would have preferred....but at least it ended right? and now you don't have to drive to Durham.

I'm sorry, we don't have anyone that far out to service the account, but if your ever in Charlotte, Durham, Asheville or Atlanta on a Friday at 10:00 please stop by for our weekly cupping. "
What do you mean by not having anyone to service the account? Does that mean I shouldn't consider you as a possible roaster? Couldn't I get it shipped from the Atlanta location?

The Celtic Cup will be located at 401 East Lincoln in Tullahoma, TN. We approx. 4 hrs from Knoxville and Atlanta. We are about an hour and a half from Chattanooga, Nashville, Huntsville. We are about 30 minutes from where Bonnaroo is held in Manchester TN and about 20 minutes fro Jack Daniel's Distillery.

I know...I am a little slow...but I am finally here. You may be off the hook Friday, do you have other plans here for that day?

I have considered who i will purchase my coffee from. what would you say is a good price for a new linea 3 head.

thanks for the offer. I would love too! I have attended some training classes. Please let me know when we can meet. 704.804.8673

you were so born for that role and i'm sure you will nail it completely and utterly. things here are slammin'.

It was great spending time with you these last few days, Banks. Have a great weekend.
