TROY! good to hear from you...and now I know what you look like..heh. I need to stop by your cafe. Ive heard great things.

If you are referring to the land of the lost, no...I am not a sleestak. however I do look a little like one...just without the insecty/aligatory parts...and it's a mohawk not a horn.

if there is some other manner of sleestak out there.....then maybe.

ROCK!

Hi Troy - quick question for you - what do you brew into and store your iced coffee and iced tea? we're looking for a solution large enough (1 gallon) but a non-leaching plastic or glass/stainless pitcher that has a lid and pour spout. just wanted to see what others are using? thanks!

What's happening Troy? Things are good in Emmaus - working our asses off. Definitely want to catch up with you soon - cupping session perhaps? I've been thinking of trying to make it over to Easton, but you know how that goes. The shop keeps me on a short leash.

Oh, and Rich Fritz is the man. I love that guy.

Troy, just took a look at all your photos. Looks like your having fun. I am sure someday Steve and I will detour while traveling and stop in for a drink. Please do the same if your in Illinois. Perhaps we'll see you at USBC ATLANTA

Troy! Good to see your type on my page.
I see you got the tattoo you were talking about in PA!
It looks pretty swell.
I want something coffee oriented, but I am undecided.

April Fritzen

Troy, I just went to your website and noticed you have printed cups. Did you find a good deal on that? We found affordable printed sleeves from Brightvision.

May 20, 2008
Troy Reynard

Not printed cups April...white matte labels, about $.037/label.

Troy thanks. This is a cool place. As soon as I get high speed at my new place I'll be here regulary. Just got a Europa to play with at home, it's a crash course in latte art.
But I always do things the hard way. lol

What's happening coffee rockstar? We have to plan our trip to NYC for one of these upcoming Monday's. Rich Fritz wants to join our excursion. I'm going to try and stop at Cosmic this coming Monday to say hi. My wife has convinced me to not go to the beach and get some stuff done instead.

TROY!
How's the summer break treating you, man?
When's the next Phil-in? I've got weddings and other familial obligations this summer, and with the price of gas I'll have to walk up to Easton, so give me 3 or 4 days lead time, OK big guy?
IF you feel like trpping down to Philly for an evening, you can bring your one annoying dog and we'll show you what real canine annoyance is.
We'll invite Phil too.

Tim Noble

Hey Troy,
Ah, tomorrow is a no go, unfortunately. I'm driving up to the family farm with the family for pre-wedding events (bachelor party for my soon-to-be bro-in-law, wedding shower for my sister). I'll just have to drive up sometime for a visit.
Hey, check out bobolink farm (use the google) and dairy over in NJ. Maybe you'd like to get in on a cheesemaking class, or do the tour? I'm trying to get Phil to go up sometime.
Happy cupping, dude.

Dude!
thanks for stopping by my shop :)
Ottawa just got a lot less lame because of your visit, all my staff agree.

I'll try to find time to go for a wee tour down around your maison du cafe so we can exchange beans and nerd out!

peace,
