    Very Cool I am sure all your coffee fans are glad you are at sitka. I closed Classico Coffee roasting this year. However I was seriously honored you liked the verona espresso. I am now a barista and roaster at village coffee in Scottsdale Arizona.
    I am sure I will catch up with you some where at another coffee even or if I get back to seattle again.

    Hi Bronwen,

    You may already know about my venture. I`m starting to recruit world-class trainers & baristas to train the local baristas at the american coffee growing countries.
    The idea is to cover the expenses (air ticket+hotel+food) for a 3 day trip (at least) with sponsor support.
    The venture will start by February 2009, if you`re able to donate a couple of days of your time, to promote the barista profession, please let me know, and I`ll send you the schedule.

    Best regards,
    Federico
