I know right.

Hey Dave,
I have a number in stock we are selling them for $29.50. My Bx account has been crashing on me for whatever reason but if you go to my shop online www.transcendcoffee.com and place an order I'll get your swiss gold's in the mail. I have been out to the island several times now this last summer but I regret only getting to your place the once. You have espresso to be proud of.
cheers,
Andrew Legg

yo brosuf, shop is great and the coffee was awesome! Nice to chat Im going to send you some tea to try! Forget the package crap whole leaf is the answer! And Maccha rules call gerard from jaga you could be the only spot in sooke doing it right! Peace.

Hey Dave, you up yet? I am at the roaster today so if you need anythig call!!!!!!
It was fun to keep bumping into your family at the fair. Too bad you had to work:(
I really think that the Seattle trip will be invigorating for both of us. Lord knows we need it eh?!?!?
Cheerio,
Sam

Hi stickman, I've never worked on the drive but I'm aways up for a barista Jam. I wish they were more common. We just had one in Vancouver but I wasnt able to attend.

i'd assume there are quite a few in Victoria with so many top cafe's and baristas (going by last years regional).
What I'm really interested in is getting involved in some low level for fun barista comps. Maybe between shops or something.

I'm on cafe crawl out west here. Looking forward to popping in tommorrow just having a bit of a time trying to find your place.

Yeah, you learn a lot from competing. I think the bar will be set really high at the regionals this year... us kids from the Island really put the mainland to shame. If you don't enter at least take the time off to come cheer us on.

Haven't heard too much about a Jam coming up...
who would be hosting this time?
I hear you're open Sundays now!
And that you're thinking about competing!

really well I'm heading down to Maui in a week for 25 days looking forward to it big time. I'll pop out there when I return still need to see the completed shop. Keep on Rock'en!

dude hows the shop going?

Hey David,
Well... it's a 2.5 kilo Toper. We purchased it a couple years ago used, so I'm not exactly sure how old it is. We've mostly been using for small batch profiling, so it hasn't been in full production use. Recently the burner went out, so we've been lighting it with a hand-held lighter, but we'll be replacing the burner very soon. We're located on the fringe of Muncie, IN... so we don't have an afterburner for the machine. Other than that, everything is in tact and working. We'll roast anywhere from a 1lb - 6lbs batch size and can get a pretty good profile for our bigger 10 kilo Toper. We're still trying to process potentially selling the machine right now. I can tell you that we will probably sell it for $3000 as is with the burner defect, and probably a little bit more if you want us to fix it. Let me know what you're thinking and if you have any more questions.

they are av models, but can be easily bypassed bu using the toggle switch.

He has told me that when i need another machine to just let him know. Are you serious about a 4g linea? probably 3000. Mine is seriously in impeccable shape and totally rebuilt with many new parts.

Dude, when am I ever going to get to Sooke!!! In May, I guarantee it. Hope all is well.

Thanks Dad, you're sweet. Any new shirts in the mud?

again, as i have mentioned before, can you take a road trip? Might be a nice get away. I think the 4 groups are around 200lbs. Freight will be spendy, but again, might be worth it. I will call him.

i'm glad you liked the coffee, and the art. it's easier than it looks.
victoria is great. i'll definitely shoot you a line if i'm in your area.

Also, Wouldn't it be worth a road trip to OR to get a killer linea at a great price. Those machines are like sherman tanks...I am going to buy a used one soon myself.??? make a vacation out of it...

Camarillo is in Southern california on the central coast near Santa Barabara. North west of LA. What's up with the roo in your pic?
