Actually only been there a couple of times. I have 2 drive thru shops that occupy the majority of my time, so when I do have time off I generally skip coffee shops.

We owned a Christian Bookstore for years (thats where we originally also opened or Coffee Shop) So I've met them many times over the years of doing conventions & things like that. Fun guys. Great music. I remember when I first found their CD before they ever got big. Got it from a friend at Provident Music. We sold them like crazy when they first came out.

Not Exactly, Folkston has a small shop that does sell coffee, I personally roast beans for a few shops as well as individuals, I do plan on opening a Internet cafe here in folkston, I just recently moved back from StoneMountain. Thanks I will keep you posted on my progress~

Good to know you've got a great foundation! BTW, love your license plate!

Your profile sounds full of experience. Since I am new to roasting, I'd like to pick your brain from time to time.

I've opened a coffeehouse with a 5K in-store roaster. I'm probably spending too much time on research for crop reports. Not sure if I'm spending too much money for cup of excellence beans. I'm trying to work out an espresso blend profile that stays consistant. Help me!

Hey Jason, happy Oktober. Hope the coffee's pulling well for you as the temperature drops (it's still hot down here). Do you have any flavor ideas for a new mead (honey wine)? I'm brewing another batch this weekend and thought it might be fun to do something with coffee.

Hey Jason! Good luck this weekend. I know you'll rock it! Have fun man.

By the way, on your recommendation, I finally got an aeropress, Jason. I love it!!! Very cool, practical coffee gadget. Do you use the brew strong and dilute method, or just brew 8 fl. oz. at a time? Also, what dosage levels are you using? Thanks.

Jason, we have a ball park idea of when the renovations will be complete. The contractor said he would like to be finished with work before Christmas and that means January for setting up, decor, hiring and training.
We must be open before St Patrick's Day!
After all we are The Celtic Cup Coffee House.

It means coming over the mountain but I wanted to find out more about your services for on sight training.
