About Me:

I grew up in Seattle and one day I was drinking a cup of coffee and I realized it wasn't pre-ground like all the others I had had before. It was incredible; it was Stewart Brothers, Henry's Blend. I bought a Melita and made my own drip coffee for a few months and then went to range top espresso and steamer. That was 1976 and I followed all the small batch roasters until there product demand caused them to increase there roast size for distribution. They all broke my heart, but there was always a new guy on the block committed to the highest level of quality available. I just hated saying goodbye to an old friend.

About My Company:

We are committed to the best product and service available anywhere. We use a Synesso and a K-10 grinder matched with an intense passion for the cup, the culture, and the sharing of the experience with our customers.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

I feel proud that specialty coffee has done so much to help the people on the ground in coffee growing regions.
