Hey Steve sorry it took so long to get back to you been crazy busy.Well I'm still working on the things had some family issues that set me back and also the location I was going into has been pushed back on completion. But not giving up! Thanks
until very recently we used intelligentsia. but alas, we are one of the many faithful alterra stores. i love the guys at alterra but i prefer intelli's coffee...
Yeah man I come from a familia of coffee growers, but after Hurricane Stan we started from nothing, so I started representing and promoting several coffees and that`s why I founded Kafes Guatemala in the US.
How many Guatemalan companies do you know that takes care of the entire process to one pound presentation in the US??? I know it has been quite the challenge, I started from nothing compadre.
Milwaukee's coffee scene is alive and kickin', man!
If ya wanna get a heads up before ya come back, check out the Milwaukee Specialty Coffee blog: http://milwaukeespecialtycoffee.typepad.com
Maybe we'll still have snow for ya when ya come in June. Fingers crossed, right? ;)
Oh man I'm not sure when I'll be around next. I went to Boston last week and got to meet George Howell. Those guys at Terrior really blew my mind. Just got back to SF and I'm starting up Rituals new spro tech department, to deal with our new stores and accounts machines. Can't wait to take apart some equipment. Maybe next month. I'll have come tour your facilities.
You'll dig the cupping classes. I took them last year at the SCAA show in Long Beach. Even if you are quite knowledgable about cupping, you can still learn quite a bit. Do you ever hang at LUX? I live down town and am there quite a bit.
A few of us from Moon Monkey are definitely making it up for the show. Trevor and myself just sent in our forms to compete as well...so it should be an exciting weekend, I'm looking forward to it.
Hey steve I work at the village coffee roastery.

Hello Steve -
Updated the blog. No indoor locations becuase of smoking ban! Will find a nice outdoor spot to gather and find a way to communicate while we are there! Bring your cigars and be prepared!!!
How's it going? I did not know if you knew or not, but we have a little roaster up here in the hills (Firecreek). If you ever have time we'd love to have you up to cup and hang out. We have a 1lb. SanFransiscan if you would like to play with it.
If you guys ever need anything, we have much respect for Espressions and would be glad to help anyway we can.
