Pleasure to meet your acquaintance. 99% of my family lives in/around York, PA area and for that reason I am amused to meet others from that area. Thanks for the invite!

Great ad in Barista, I especially like the DoubleShot cap on your head. I get my espresso from Brian, a roasting genius!

I can't wait to see the connections that will happen at the jam - young guns swapping shots with some wise visionaries: Scott Rao with his new book The Professional Barista's Handbook and Larry Bourgeois, Third Place living legend.

The quality of coffee will only be surpassed by that of the company.

Hey troy!
Thanks for the kind words. I always look forward to seeing you around at events and it was great this past weekend. We're having a little party at Aldo this friday night and we're featuring your bike blend next to our espresso with proceeds from the evening going to bikes for rawanda. Thought you might like that. hope you're enjoying life back at the shop. Talk to you again.....

I worked at a store called Portland Brew. They have significantly better coffee and drinks than fido, but fido has a much cooler vibe and better rep.

Troy - you did good! Still a couple bucks to come - we're using some of the bounty coffee from the jam to raise what we can for BTR this weekend. Will send whatever we get from selling Hornall's brew and the Aficianado Daryn gave us.

If we make enough, we might even start a single malt fund for Mr. Lewis...

Loved the jam. Couldn't have imagined it going any better. Great, great job.

Phil Proteau

Hey man, you are to be commended. The Jam was perhaps the best coffee event I have ever attended. It was my honor to have a small part in it.

My pictures will be on flickr later tonight.

Also, my father in law asked me what was so hard about making coffee for three days. I told him "you try making 120 gallons of coffee.......2 oz at a time."

I miss you already troy. The jam was a huge success! I learned soooo much and can't wait till next year. You better drag yourself down to Park slope next time you're in Brooklyn.
