    Hey There! Yep, I just launched it Sept 12th! I have no fancy equipment as yet, but just wanted to get something together to "expand/recognize" the coffee culture here in Tampa. Send me your email thru a message and I will forward you our newsletter.

    Jonathan- Thanks for the note! If you ever make it up this way, please stop by. We're trying our best to improve the coffee environment up here in Gainesville. I grew up in Dunedin, and I know what a vast wasteland the tampa bay area has traditionally been. I don't know if there's enough critical mass to have a barista jam up here (or, at least, a sanctioned jam), but we do have frequent cuppings and events. Just keep an eye on voltacoffee.com and be sure to send me an email if you can make it up.
