Hi Wilson, I happened apon your blog about 7 months or more ago and think your journey is a great one...I to am 34 and looking to pursue coffee where ever it go'z! The funs in the journey.

thanks for the tip. ive been so frustrated lately i didnt even know where to start. let me know how your place in the making is going. id love to see how it turns out.

Mr. Hines. How's Mt. Olive treating ya? How's the shop coming?

Hey Wilson.
Are you in Philly?
Drop me a line. I'll talk with you then.

Sounds great, Wilson.
I'm around this weekend, and I'd love to show you a couple great places for coffee and the like.
you can reach me at tdnoble@gmail.com, too.

Hey Wilson,Good morning...
Are you in NC? I get down to the central part of the state a few times a year to visit my folks (Pinehurst) and my little brother (Charlotte). I'm making plans to come down for a Counter Culture tour (Durham). You should check out Counter Culture Coffee's training program... I think a lot of the cupping and roasting seminars are free.
My place is still on paper at the moment- I have a site that's currently under contract and the new owner (I'm one of several tenants in a large commercial building) has a bunch of initial renovation to do.
Still, a summer opening seems likely.
check out my website. If you and your wife get to Philly anytime, drop me a line so we can get a cup together and chat.
Best regards,
-Tim

Thanks for the good word. I always appreciate the feedback! Glad you were treated well and the experience was good. Love those Octane kids...

okay, so I can only say that NOW...not that I actually follow my own advice there. Just a hard learned lesson. But it all comes together no matter what, if you keep looking forward.

Hey Wilson, thanks for the comment.Enjoy the journey of exploration. Be open to anything. Save more money than you think you'll need, and have a ball watching your vision come to life!

Wilson! Great to hear from you, man. Hope to see you soon.

Thanks! I'm more of a night guy, so if you ever have an evening 'spro craving, i'm the guy!

Man, sorry about that! Next time we'll make it happen. I was actually out of town last Friday.

Yeah, you kinda loose the thread a bit, huh?
Well, Have a safe one and I will see you in the new year.

I think the "comment back" button makes things a bit confusing, as it is kinda like talking on a ham radio on split freq.

Am I missing something? Are you swinging by one of the shops on New Years? They both will close at 5pm monday and open up 9 & 10am tuesday.

What were you doing in the bustling Metropolis of Van Wert, Ohio my friend? That is about 30 minutes or so from Defiance. Stop by Cabin Fever anytime. I am usually at the downtown location. Give me a call when you are in the area.

Howdy Wilson,

Nepal doesn't even show up in any International Coffee Organization records as a producing country... I think there coffee exports are too small. It's actually packed out of Nepal by Shirpas and shipped out of India.

We don't have it in right now. But it is a real nice treat...

Hey Scott,
It was a life saver. And what a difference the grinder makes, eh? 13 lbs of coffee from the 22nd to the 25th. Not bad in a house! LOL!

Good to see you here Wilson. Hope the Mazzer mini salvaged the party!
