Construction delayed some...I will know more at the end of next week as far as timeline. Later in august might really work out, we can train some new hires for the U. We will hopefully open in mid September. We will miss the beginning of school by about 3 weeks, oh well, not too bad. Can you call me soon, I want to talk to you about something about our layout that is bothering me, don't know if it is a real concern, or an easy fix. (I want to put a live armadillo cage in the middle of the bar...think it could work...naw)...call me... And yes, quite the pimpin' little volvo there...can you say fish and chips! (I can taste it already)

It was great to have you guys stop by. the coffee you guys left was awesome. I especially liked the el salvador finca 408. That coffee was super juicy, sparkling acidity, peaches and tropical fruits. that is an exceptional coffee, love the roast on it.

It was nice to meet you too!
I will have to second and third Alysia and Sam's review of the El Salvador, It was pretty bomb.com.

Thanks for the add. I thought you'd never ask. I have known the Z's for a minute or two. They are good people, and have been so good to me all of these years. Being a part of the Espresso Parts family is quite an honor.

Tony, it is so kind of you to remember and comment on that. You know I did make it into the competition but my barista in Portland was so excited to compete that I respectfully gave my seat to him and he went on to win second place overall! I am afraid my heart would not have done as good as his tulip did. Very proud of him. You looked great by the way as I commented in person. Maybe next time around we can have coffee together. I think if you bump into someone three years in a row it means your homies!

Good to be missed. What you up to brother. Email me, I hardly get here anymore. You now how it is One step removed from the roaster and a universe away from the community. I have only time enough to for a few slow "damn that's good" sips in the mornin'.

Yeah, Yeah, girly got soft and freaked out on you...sometimes they get scared when daddy's not at home...

give her a month or so and come back...I'm with you on the trigger pull, I saw it when it first hit your lips, made her pull me one and had her tighten a little.
