Thanks for the info, I was wondering. I will try my hardest to make to down.

hows your jam plannin goin? - sea v la was fun - my computer has no audio working now, so I wasn't really tuned into the livestream...

Thanks Tom, I'll Check it out.

Tom, success is watching you!

Si Senor, I am living in the VOC (Sedona). I am doing a month of consulting (really working their bar until I get their staff trained) with Bell Rock Coffee (also in the VOC), who opened yesterday. I am generally on the bar their from 7-2 should you find yourself up here.

Tom,

Great packaging! Thats fantastic that you guys are roasting, what are you roasting on? let me know if I can help!

Hey buddy! Hope you are having a beautiful day!

well.... 50 told me...

Hey Tom, I stopped by the shop about 2 weeks ago. I really like what you guys where doing. Hey did you get to check out the Ghana Chocolate sauce I left??

My situation is unclear, I will be in Sedona as of Sept 1. I am not yet sure of employment in coffee. I may better serve as a judge in this competition, as I am not sure I will have access to practice. I have participated the MARBC (did mediocre) and volunteered at the WBC and MARBC, so my understanding of the competition criteria is clear. Lemme know.

sweet flyer!

Thanks for the comment. I'm really excited to be moving to AZ. We have almost nailed down our arrangements in Sedona. If you want to try another Pronto coffee, our Wondo is insane. Kenneth Davids gave it a 92. Its a really light roast with tons of rose and strawberries, it is an amazing example of "floral" notes.

Sounds great, ...we'll be there. ...could we help sponsor some t-shirts?

I just read your post on the SO Yirg as a spro, we are getting a bag in today, If you'd like to come up and cup with us, next week, give a holler:

Hey Tom, good job on the AZ Barista group, Next time I stop by Press I hope to meet you!

sure can!!! It's yours to use.

Awesome! I am familiar with the format... I plan on participating!

I am definitely interested... still sorting out logistics of move (Sept first date is firm, housing and employment are being negotiated). I will keep you posted as my plans materialize... what style of competition?

I am a huge fan of Alterra! At the last Scaa show in Hotlanta, they had a single origin Honduran espresso that was remarkable. It was apparently some fluke find that was only like 60 lbs total. Yesterday, I was doing a demo at a Whole Foods in Bethesda, Md. and a woman asked me if I had ever heard of Alterra because she was such a huge fan. Small world indeed...
