About Me:
I have been blessed to work for some of the finest companies in our industry... Bunn, CBI, Portland Roasting, Batdorf & Bronson, Rancilio and now Peet's Coffee & Tea!
About My Company:
Alfred Peet started roasting in 1966. He went on to mentor the founders of Starbucks, who eventually sold Starbucks and came back to the bay area and bought Peet's from Alfred, happily putting him into retirement. We are now an almost $400 million dollar publicly traded company that is poised for tremendous growth! I am so blessed to be a part of it.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The friends and colleagues I have been blessed to know and work with.
Hey you! Happy Holidays! Fun to see you on here. I love how fast this is catching on! Did you and the fam have a nice Christmas? I have some fun photos of you from CoffeeFest I will send along.
Jack is awesome. We appreciate what he does for us very much. It is still pretty icy here. We may make it up into the 30's F today though. Thanks for the comment.
THAT Is my FAVORITE shirt you! How are you, Laure is back in AZ (Oz) dealing with the off spring...I'm here in San Francisco it is beautiful here today! Working on several projects.
I am familiar with Awakenings. I helped start or expand...several smaller community coffeehouses in the greater Cincinnati area, these include Speckled Bird Cafe, Rohs Street Cafe. Brutopia and Caffe Tazza. They use a variety of high end espresso equipment (Gb.5 / FB70 / Victoria Arduino 3 group lever chrome (soon) and Elektra Sixties)... all machines that we represent. I would be interested in meeting with you next time you visit Cincinnati, keep in touch.
Well, thank you very much!! I don't know what took me so long but here I am now!! I am a exchange retard... I don't know how to use this... Help Me Please!!!
