alex,
good to hear from you!
after my northwest tour to seattle, portland and vancouver canada, i finally made it to my final destination: denver, colorado.
and it is weird to find how sharp the contrast is between the seattle coffee scene and the denver coffee scene. there is much to develop in this city, and i hope i can jump on board somehwere and do it. but the few good places i have found are fully staffed and that means no room for ned. so i remain jobless. jobless and full of my memories of seeing all you guys , of trabant, of stickman, of stumptown. sigh. i have been searching and searching for a job in coffee and as i wait i have been drinking quite a bit of novo.
it was cool to get to hang with you guys that fateful day at trabant. please tell mike i say hullo. what have you been up to?

Recommendations for coffee in Amsterdam? Just arrived in the Netherlands last week - scouting for my beans and barista and want to know all about the bean scene here. Will appreciate any suggestions.
Hey man! We are totally excited to have you coming to Trabant. It's usually a slow at our new store in Pioneer Square so that will give us time to play on the Anfims and Synesso (as well as the Clover) and chat coffee. Is 1-4pm still good for you? Let me know if there's anything else we can help you with. We are excited to be having you...
Wow, I completeeeely missed that whole other comment. Our hostel has a fridge and everything available. I recommend checking out our website. I can guarantee you that you will be more then pleased with our hostel. You can look at our reviews on the sites to see what other people have thought about us. I would recommend that you make your reservation ASAP if you are considering us. We do have a 24 hour cancellation policy and we will be filling up quickly. I don't want to pressure or hurry you, but we area already booked until the last week of May. You can find out about our reservations by contacting our reservation desk at Reservations@HostelSeattle.com. Either way, I will work out the schedule and let any/all employees know about your visit so we can exchange all the information and knowledge we want.

Awesome! I was hoping that you'd be willing to work at the Pioneer Location with me on a Saturday. It tends to be slower on Saturdays to where we would be able to mess around on both the Synesso and the Anfim. I am looking forward to your visit....
Oh, there's no obligation to bring coffee or make it. And you can bring more coffee if you like, it'll probably take a number of shots to dial in on an unfamiliar . We're just trying to represent as many different roasters as possible. There will be a lot of people just drinking, or just pouring art. And there's no real competition, just a bunch of people loving coffee. And to quote the owner, Dismas: "You can bring your favorite beer or whatever, but you don't have to if you don't want to."
It'll be at 6pm until whenever we're tired. That's at 3516 Fremont Place N, on the same block as the Lenin statue.
This is all just for fun and for the love of coffee. I'll let you know if I can offer you lodging.
Hey, Ned, my name's Joe and I work at a shop called Stickman Coffee in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle (not too far from Alex's hostel). On the first of June we're going to be hosting a Sprodown-Throwdown. For the Sprodown we'll have attendees bringing a pound of coffee, dialing it in and showing what they've got. Then be ready to rock the latte art in the Throwdown.
For facilities we'll have a modded Anfim and a regular ol' Robur on either side of our two group GB5, with Synesso-style double baskets in spouted portafilters. If you need anything different, you'll have to make your own arrangements.
I really look forward to seeing what espresso looks like in Amsterdam.
hey ned! You stumbled across the correct barista, I also work for an International Youth Hostel, HostelSeattle.com. If you go to our reservations page, you can get a night with us for $25 a night. Also, I am throwing together a Guest Coffee/Espresso program that includes our Guest Barista program. We would love to have you at our shop. Please let me know the EXACT dates you would be available for shifts, so we can schedule accordingly at our Pioneer Square (to dial in on our techniques and to talk coffee) and also at our Annex Store in the University District. Looking forward to your visit!
