How 'bout a Chicago Barista's Pub Crawl?? What could be better than getting completely smashed while being massive nerds about The Bean??

Whoever is interested should let me know and we can figure out where and when.

I miss my home town.....

Hi everyone,
I am Leon, I a new here! Hope to see you on some barista jam!

I'm a little bit of a hike from Chicago(2 1/2 hours west on I80), but I'm opening a Coffee house this month in Rock Island Illinois. I travel to the Chi every other weekend to see family and friends- and for baseball!- and would love to visit other shops and learn more about mid-west coffee trends and culture! If anyone is on there way west- please stop by and visit- and I would love to check out more independent roasters and coffee houses around Chicago when I'm home!

Hello to my fellow Chicagoans! I just got back from Coffee Fest in Seattle, anyone else have a chance to visit? It was a great coincidence having the Bears in town at the same time...blue and orange all over the city!

I am relatively new to the industry. I recently took over my uncle's business, Double Wrap Cup & Container. We provide cafe's around the world with our Comfort Grip Wrap cup sleeve. I had great feedback in Seattle and I am excited about the business! You can check us out ay www.comfortgripwrap.com

I hope as time goes by our paths will cross in what I have to say so far is a great industry with great people!

is anyone retailing the clever dripper? it's supposedly the new hotness.

I need a roommate in my sweet 2br, cheap lakeview apartment for December 1. Contact me if you know anyone who might be interested.
