Heather, I know your sore feet pain. I threw down thirty bucks at the shoe insert booth at coffeefest because my feet were pulp. I think a foot massage booth would kill at the convention.

Hey fellow coffee fest attendees! My name is Dustin, a recently returned US Peace Corps Volunteer in the Philippines. I now import and sell CIVET COFFEE aka KOPI LUWAK, which I started as a Peace Corps project for the tribal coffee farming community I was assigned to work with. We buy our Civet Coffee direct from the farmers, giving them a high price for this extremely rare coffee, without the middlemen or brokers to split their profits.

If anyone is interest in buying Civet Coffee or Kopi Luwak unroasted/roasted beans or even packaged pure or blended civet coffee please contact me. This is the rarest coffee in the world, it was started as a Peace Corps project, and continues to support a sustainable livelihood for the tribal community of Ifugao Province, Philippines.

I work for an Italian Coffee Roaster in Seattle. I am a salesperson, a student of coffee, and an educator. My job is to bring in new customers for the company that I work for, on a regular basis. Once the customer comes aboard, my job is to find ways to help their business grow.

What do I get out of Coffee Fest?

I enjoy meeting new people at Coffee Fest. In addition to conversing with friendly prospective customers, I take time to develop a team of networkers who, like me, are interested in exchanging leads and referrals. I do this at each coffee exhibit and it always pays off in new sales for me.

Also, I like to exchange ideas with others and pass on any new ideas to my customers. Additionally, I enjoy finding new information on coffee that will advance my education as a student of coffee.

Thanks for inviting us Matt. Coffee fest has really help our company bring the independent and small chain cafes together with a Wi-Fi solution that rivals that of the giant corporations. This industry is full of some great people and one of our goals is to get them the best network solutions to enable them to keep spreading that greatness.

Also, we send a "shout-out" to all of you that have had a positive influence on our company (if you have to ask, we are probably talking to you). Without your support we wouldn't be able to meet - let alone help - all the wonderful people that we do. hope to see you all in Chicago. Best Wishes!

Thanks, Matt for the invite to Coffee Fest Friends (and *greetings* to all you Coffee Fest Friends!). Looking forward to reading some discussions, and lovin' the comments.

We are living what Duane talked at CF by opening a couple of Brevita units in Austin next month. Will be blogging all about it in a while....

Ahh.. Coffee Fest '03. I received 3rd place against Sammy Piccolo in Latte Art contest. We were in a small side room with well dressed Italian machine salesman laughing at how serious we were. Look how far it's come in such a short time. Big event, big money. Sammy started competing again, maybe I should too.
