    I am a coffee roaster. I have been roasting for 20 years. I will be moving to Glendale, AZ as I have a home there. I have not decided the exact date. What kind of roaster do you have...how large is it?

    I think so.....your name sounds familiar. When I first moved here I called and emailed a lot of roasters looking for an apprentice opening. Maybe that's how our paths crossed. How things over by you?

    So far I'm going. I'm trying to make this trip as cheap as possible so I'm in the market for some hotel buddies to split room costs. I'm planning on taking some of the accredited classes from the Roasters Guild. I'm the most excited about the cupping classes. We should get coffee sometime, it would be great to meet others in the industry here.
