I love Kennett Square, theres a coffee shop called Tullulah's Table, they make sausage too, and it rocks.

Hey Scott! Thank you for all that you do! You make a huge difference in the whole competition circuit. I really enjoyed the whole judging process and look forward to working with you again and maybe getting some time to pick your brain a bit.

That is so cool man, Im going to Atlanta so perhaps I can drive or so. Need to do so many things in the US for coffee and other business. So did u ask me if I was looking for distrubutors ???

Hey Scott!
The funny thing is that at SCAA I will actually have at least one more booth there and am throwing a killer party with Oral Fixation! Wish me luck, and I fully expect you to come and enjoy yourself....

Sounds like a good plan compadre, I have the entire coffee roasting operation based in HOUSTON as my green coffee arrives from there. But hey perhaps distribution, if you can send me an address i can start and send you some of my coffee so you can let me know what do you think. This is so new for me compadre, talking about a private label in the US, I was more involved ONLY in harvest and green coffee business.

sounds good though to meet.

Scott - after seeing you judge our folks at these things for the past three years, was a pleasure to actually get to talk to you for a change. Thanks for all you do to help make the competitions happen.

Hi Scott -
Its so great that someone knows where Mt. Penn is! I'm sure there's a lot that has changed since you've been here, but one thing hasn't: not a lot of good coffee!

Anne MF Boatner

Thanks! I think the karate girl looks very much like me. Close enough, at least.
Thanks for judging. I might find myself in my favorite southern state sometime soon and I believe that a visit to Open Eye is a must. Hope to see you soon!

A year, ish. They're under new ownership, and have revamped everything. They've got one by the Bryn Mawr Film institute, also, and if you haven't been to one of them, I completely recommend it. I haven't been to the Running Company.
Where you working now?

Mar 5, 2008
Andi C. Trindle

I can't believe you went Bourbon tasting without me . . .Hurumph! That's alright. You can pay me back by buying me something nice when we get to Minneapolis. :-) I have a local coffee friend scoping out suitable spots. I failed managing this on my own previously.

Hey Scott,
I was thinking about talking about caffeine influenced G-proteins in the gut, and how coffee makes such a perfect laxative. Just kidding. Yes, we hope to be in Minnisota. I need to work on my presentation skills a whole lot more.

Thank you for helping me to become a part of this awesome community! Oh! Mr. Scott! Guess what?! My friend just saw Jay Caragay and tasted the specialty drink with the tobacco-infused cream! While you probably have heard of the drink, i was really excited to hear about the pairing of tobacco with espresso because that seems like a very strange combination...

I guess this whole networking thing actually works. I found out about this in Oxford, England, which is where I am now. Boy Scott, I've had so much bad coffee since I've been in Europe, I really can't wait to get back. It will be just a couple of weeks, see you then!
