From my days at Kean: "i work my ass off every am. I almost never miss a cupping. I buy rounds for the house and i'll learn from anybody." Martin and Karen Diedrich have been wonderful mentors to me. They will always feel like family in a way. And yeah, according to me, the coffee of Kean is to die for. For real. I miss the people- I miss the beans.

But i just moved to Seattle to catch up with my folks. I'm the new kid on the bar at Herkimer. Which is awesome.
More later.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
i love my city; but i still want to go everywhere- provided i have the resources to get out and learn there (guides, friends, etc). I still travel in my own town.
About Me:
i love life. There's a lot to learn.

    Janelle- I have stopped in Kean a number of times to visit and have not seen you. I do miss your pulls, please come to Cafe Con Leche tonight 4/12. It is in Fullerton, downtown. They are having a soft opening. Drinks on the house. There will be other baristas and some behind the counter action. It will be a good time. Hope to see you there. Cheers
