Hello Ben, greetings from the other side of Canada, the east coast, It's cold and is snowing at the moment. I hope you are having better weather - Steve

no baby yet!!!! arg!
with the vac sealers go big or go home. It is all in the bags!
The idea of vacing green beans is a good one though. I am open to further research on the subject. It is only a matter of time before I figure it out!
whats the haps, I emailed you from here but not sure it was sent, My head baker will be in your area this weekend for some cookies!! Her name is Jane. Trying to get to your area soon, Thinking around Christmas if not sooner. Will give you a heads up. Has your new roaster started yet?? Send me a sample of your goods, I'll do the same. Need address
I see Chris tonight . What are you prepared to offer. It is barely used and originally sold for 8,500 plus tax and shipping. Make him an offer.
my phone is on
have a great day Ben!
I have to apologize for not getting back to you on the espresso. I don't know what it was like because one of the baristas didn't understand why it was on the counter and poured the bag into the grinder hopper and it got all mixed up with the other espresso. How did your changes go?
Hi Ben, welcome to the coffee biz. sorry I took so long to get back to you.
I'm very familiar w/ your shop as Rob was a good friend for many years.
Hope things are good, I will stop by sometime, or if you are in my neck of the woods please stop in.

You might want to get to know Geir from Drum Roasters in Cobble Hill. He is one of the original owners of Serious but sold when there were only 2 shops, said they weren't ready to expand so much and so quickly. He is a super-nice guy, an amazing barista and a fine roaster. Also the 3rd member of the Vancouver ISland Coffee Taster's Guild! There are periodic Barista jams at his shop.
I think Geir would be happy to talk to you about any roasting issues you have.
Anything I can do to help? I'd be happy to buy a few pounds of espresso and let you know what I think if you're amenable to that kind of input.
Also, if you still have the old Cimbali Jr I know someone who might be interested in it for an odd-ball project.
Hi Ben. I have been to the Parsonage many times although not much since I moved to Sooke (8 years ago!)
If you're coming out Sooke-way let me know - or better yet, stop by and demand an espresso!
To get to the Stick you need to turn right at the PetroCan, take the first left and look fopr the sign on the left side.
Thanks for getting back to me,
David
