because pouring a rosetta in aluminum foil is way better than smoking drugs with it.

heard good things from Serrano. If I'm ever in Salt Lake, can't wait to bevalo at Bevalo.

dookie. :)

Jon...... it's been stressful, but I guess better that than no action? I really want to return to SLC soon, and may do it just to escape SoCal. At CoffeeFest LV, I saw, (and drooled), over Dr. John's Malabar Gold booth "and" his GB5 2 group! As I remember, you scored a major deal on one of those? Anyway, I need to get back to a 58mm triple basket. Ever since experiencing your "in-house baked scones", I've been recommending and searching out other in-store baked items. At CFest there actually was a small "automatic pancake" machine! I saw some opportunity there, as you can fill the cakes with just about anything! And it looks very quick and economical. (regular and buckwheat flours are available.) See www.chefstack.com

Jon.......... so tell me some gud nuz! How's biz? I called Barefoot to find out if they had any espresso blends in green that they would sell for home use. I haven't heard back yet. I'm not expecting that many roasters would, but it is another possible profit center. The art of blending is as valuable as the art of roasting, and I was thinking that a roaster could put together some "generic" espresso blend, if that's even possible. The other side of all this is that a good roaster doesn't want to offer anything but the best, lest someone taste their blend after a home roaster "goofed it up"....... so to speak. Anyway, howz biz? And how is your better half? Getting any more "commercial accounts?"

Things are good. Plans for my shop are coming along well, we are in lease negotiations at the moment, hopefully be up and running in the next couple of months. We are trying to find a good time to take a coffee road trip before the shop opens and you guys are definitely on our list. Glad to hear all is well, Pictures of the shop look awesome. Ill let you know when we are planning to come out.

Ps. Expobar still running strong :)

Hey man, Hows that shop going? We are going to have to make a road trip out soon to check it out.

Hey,

Are you aware of any brewing coffee classes within the slc? I just moved down here from the Seattle area and I'm looking to kill time learning how to brew.

Let me know...

So I walk into Ritual and there is Drew wearing a Bevalo shirt...a KICK ASS! Bevalo shirt. It was awesome seeing you at Western Reginals, but how do I not get hooked up with one of these shirts? haha :)

i just found out about it. seems like an easy drive. where is everyone staying?

competitor - not qualified
judge - less than not qualified
volunteer - potentially qualified

thanks for the support.

i hope i can keep up the barefoot standards.

when we find a space...there will be coffee party in zion.

Hey Jon, Tony told me you are going to be bringing Barefoot to Salt Lake City.... Rock On!!!

The foil rosetta in your profile pic reminds me of a jiffy pop container. MMM popcorn!
