what kind of electric suply do I need for an espresso coffee machine with two groups and steam? I am going to receive from the gov. of USA AND PUERTO RICO a Mobile Kiosk for free.
sounds like a fair swap! :) we're thinking about a vehicle (not a trailer or hitched unit) that we can serve coffee and food from. i've seen quite a few cupcake trucks on the internet (like sprinkles in LA), but none of those serve coffee.
cookies...i have lots of ideas! we do a mocha crinkle that incorporates ground coffee beans which might be nice for you. we also have a great chocolate chip cookie recipe that we use as a base for other flavor combinations like white chocolate cranberry, etc. let me know if you have any thoughts on flavors or cookie types. we usually make big batches of dough, portion it into balls and then bake them throughout the day.

Mike! more compliments to pass on. I had a couple who are regulars at Caffe Artesiano in Vancouver (an amazing place if you are not familiar)... say they finally found it's equal in Sedona, raved about the espresso, bought 2 bags, sent all their friends, and (I am NOT making this shit up) told me their decision to buy a home in the VOC was influenced by the availability of this espresso... Also, my friend who is a roaster at Pronto is visiting and was very impressed with his ristretto as well as his capp... Rock on!

There is def something different about this batch, need a few more days to taste... so far the mouthfeel seems slightly different, and the acidity is a bit cleaner,the flavor slightly less earthy... did you change the alter the Indo in the mix? More later... I think we should Pow Wow soon...
Mr. (Dr.) Funk. Your coffee and crew continue to impress. I believe this is the finest batch of Boxcar so far. The finish is cleaner, and it has great balance and complexity (it can be hard to get both of those), nice vibrant acidity that seems just a touch softer, and a silkier mouthfeel. The press pot service is taking off, and so far ALL feedback has been very positive. We have sold all the retail Sidamo that arrived 3 days ago. It is awesome watching the very first time some has a truly beautiful coffee, and it has been a daily site at Red Rock.

Mike! I am going to start the Press Service with the arrival of your Ethiopian... I am going to really promote this so any info about your company, roasting philosophy, pictures, tasting notes, farm info, proudly serving signage, etc. would be welcomed and appreciated.
Mike! Had a lady request an autograph on the back of a reciept today because the straight shot of Box Car I pulled for her was "the best espresso she has found in the US so far!!!! Nice Job!

Hey Mike. Check out the front page of www.arizona-coffee.com. We are holding off on the competition for a while and doing a jam instead. This will be a lot of fun for you and your Baristas!

Mike! I am currently working with Bell Rock coffee in the VOC and would like to chat with you about your Box Car espresso, if you happen to be in the area I'd like to catch up with you. Cheers!
Monday morning in February...it's 75 degrees outside, and there are exactly 4 people on the beach. I heard you were taking a road trip. I'm pretty sure Hwy 1 is de rigueur for any road trip west of Barstow...so you'll include us on your itinerary, right? We are in your debt; and besides, I'm tired of telling everyone what a nice guy you are. Better to have them see for themselves.
Hey Mike,
Life is good at the Bux! As I'm sure you know, there are a lot of changes going on, but I'm still hanging in there.
Sounds like the life turns have been good for you. Keep in touch,
