Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I've been a home barista for a while now, and started as a home roaster. We are now roasting for a tea house in downtown-ish Lansing and retailing there as well. Also have quite a few word-of-mouth customers that buy on a weekly basis. We have plans for a new coffee shop in the area in the works. I can offer some space to jam (most likely), but don't have any commercial machines at the moment.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

All of them

About Me:

Home Barista and Home Roaster turned Retail Roaster. I have a Silvia, Macap M4 doserless stepless, and a Reg Barber rosewood. Also have a couple of presses, a Chemex, a Beehouse pourover, and a Bodum Kona. I recently moved to Mid Michigan and have been thinking of opening a coffee shop because of the plethora of terrible coffee in the area.

About My Company:

Right now, it's a couple of guys roasting for a local tea house / restaurant. We are also retailing out of her shop. She has given us free reign to take over some counter space and offer more of a coffee shop like menu, so we'll look into that. Eventually the goal is to have our own roasting/retailing shop in the near future.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
