Hello Dear.
How are you and how is your cafe, i opened my new coffee concept today and will send pic soon

we also DEFINITELY need some bowl-style latte mugs before we do a barista throwdown. I'll see what Tina thinks about that.

Legit, Adam. Birmingham has some sweet barista skills going on too. and what about hot-lanta? Octane is pretty much the Southeastern coffee mecca. Indie shops in Auburn of course will shank everyone in their sleep, it's true, but we could let them try. Remind me to talk to Barbara about the ceramic cup thing soon. I keep forgetting. You may be better able to explain a good consistent 'Gnu's Room Standard' shape for our espresso beverages. (We must prepare more in our freepouring skills. SOON.)

We need to convince barista exchange to add a US-Southeast region to the shops page. There would be like four of us on there, and we would destroy everyone.

Thanks a lot!! Let me know if you have specific questions I may be able to help with.

Also, you should update your blog. it's from the cambridge era :P

Let's do it. We need to get some wide-mouth cups though for real. Actually, we should sanction one of our pottery-making friends to make us some.

Hi Sarah,
greetings from europe!

Is it there yet? Is it there yet? Is it there yet?

and I didnt mention the 2nd job where I get paid to watch 70's televison...
Of course any info I have is free....

Sarah, how's the coffee scene in Auburn? I went to UAB / UAH but my bro and sis both graduated from Auburn.

I like that you are looking to roast; IMO, it's an important part of really getting to know the coffee, and how it should be prepared.

Cheers,

Thanks for the very nice comment. I guess I just do what I do, love what I do- I am lucky to be able to be in that position. If you ever head over this way, drop me a line.

why thank you!!!!!!

Good to hear from you. I'll let you know when I have a definite travel schedule. Also, I will be returning in the next couple of years to work on follow up projects in Central America.

Yea, it's a lot of fun...even when it's hard :) Whatever becomes of the day, I still work for myself and create my own schedule..... NICE.
