Not sure if this is something common or not, but I figured what the heck.  I am considering opening a coffee shop in Louisiana and looking for an opportunity to get some experience In a shop before jumping head in. I will be in Portland for the month of July to  try and take as much in as possible before  making the jump. Looking to work somewhere  around 20 hours a week and not necessarily  looking for a check. As long as it is a place where I can get some experience I will gladly trade  my time for the experience.  I currently own a Synesso & Mazzer Robur and have a bit of experience working on a  commercial machine. Also I have had some private  training.  I know this may not be something completely  normal for the industry, but I figured the worst  thing someone could say would be "no thanks." Please let me know If you may be interested (or know someone who would be) and it is Greatly appreciated.  Jason
