I like coffee since I was a little girl. My mother used to prepare it for breakfast in a pot with cinnamon, any milk, any sugar, only coffee and cinnamon. I grew up and then the Espresso came. I have participated as a judge at World Latte Art Championship 2008 and World Coffee in Good Spirits Championship 2008 (great events both). I also coordinate the academic program of "ExpoCafe" and "The Gourmet Show" in Mexico City. I've just got my 2009 WBC judge certificate in Guatemala!

    Hola Sylvia!!! How is life in the DF? I miss the food there and talk about it a lot with my friends here. I also got the chance to meet Carmen Titita Ramirez and her daughter when they were visiting Washington DC in October - exciting. Let us know if you're coming to Minneapolis for SCAA.

    That's weird. My bday is actually on April 1st. Don't know why it's made me older sooner. Still trying to figure out what to do for my bday. Thinking about traveling somewhere but not sure where.

    Maybe a nice bottle of your favorite tequila would be good. I don't know much about quality tequilas and was pretty surprised to see such a wide and varied selection while I was visiting.

    Hola Sylvia!

    No creo que pueda asistir a Minneapolis, ya que voy a asistir a Copenhague (aun en caso de no ser el representante Argentino).

    Estoy trabajando en un proyecto para visitar algunos paises productores, y Mexico esta incluido en esa lista.
    Cuales son sus regiones productoras?

    Por otro lado, me gustaria enviarte una copia del plan de negocios del proyecto para que me des tu opinion. Si es posible, te pido que me indiques donde.

    Un abrazo
    Federico

    yes, Roasting mostly and practicingmy spanish to get ready to go to Mexico. Can you tell me a liitle more about Competencia Mexicana de Baristas? I know that you are a judge as mentioned in your profile.

  • Fede Cabrera

    Hola Sylvia!

    Lamentablemente no llegue a terminar el plan de negocios de mi proyecto para el WBC, y por eso decidi postergar mi viaje; en cambio fui a colaborar con la realizacion del 1° Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Baristas que se desarrollo en la ciudad de Guayaquil (en breve posteare algo al respecto).

    Espero que hayas disfrutado mucho tu viaje; yo me quede con muchas ganas de ir, pero era una inversion demasiado grande para no poder sacarle mucho provecho... ademas mi proyecto ya comenzo a operar a pesar de no estar oficialmente funcionando.

    Te mantengo al tanto de las novedades, seguramente nos veamos pronto.

    Slds,
    Federico

    hey,

    finally get a message from you but where are my pics?

    last day was very busy, couldn't see you leaving. Barista party was so crowded, I had to leave. It was actually great, I went around the city and there were really nice places in Copenhagen...

    And yes, you didn't show up for the Ibrik/Cezve competition :{

    Hi Sylvia,
    Just wanted to say hello, I tried to do a chat with you but I don't think it worked. I hope all is well there in D. F. I 've been busy this week because of the July 4th holiday, all of my wholesale people are ordering big so I've been Roasting quite a bit.
    How are the competitions going?

    Good Morning Sylvia,
    I have some bad news, I will not be able to attend the Mexican Barista Championship in September. I just can't make it work financial, or to put it simple, I can't afford to go. I really wanted to go the event but my company cannot assist me with getting down there. I thought I should let you know as soon as possible. Thank you so much for helping with getting a pass and communicating. I hope i will make it to Mexico for another event in the future.

    Good Morning Sylvia,
    I have some bad news, I will not be able to attend the Mexican Barista Championship in September. My company cannot assist me with getting down there and I will not be able to afford to do it on my own. I'm upset about not being able to go. I hope I can go to another event in the future. Thank you so much for helping me with getting a pass and communicating. I thought I should let you know as soon as possible so that you are updated on who is coming.

    Hi Sylvia,

    I wasn't sure if that was you or not. I should have said hello. Well, we'll be at the Expo Café and I'll be sure to say hello then.

    It was a good symposium. I'm glad we went, each thing we go to helps us in our journey to open up a specialty coffee place here in D.F.

    Well, I hope all is well and bye for now,

    Saludos,

    Jeremy

    Hey Sylvia,
    I am new to Barista Exchange and just went through and clicked on a couple of people to see how the whole thing works. I am also super interested to talk to people from all over the United States and the rest of the world about the differences in coffee from location to location. Anyway hope all is well!

    Hola Sylvia, unas preguntitas, quienes en México o qué compañía recomendarías tú para qué dé mantenimiento a las máquinas de espresso La Marzocco? tengo muchos años ya en el gabacho y estoy completamente desconectado. Me voy a regresar y me llevo dos máquinas.

    Merci

    Nov 27, 2008

  • Adriano Arronte

    Muchas gracias, estoy pensando regresarme a finales de Mayo, pero quiero ir planeando la transición para no andar con los pormenores a última hora. Le dá mantenimiento a tostadoras también?

  • Mike Strumpf

    It didn't feel that hard to me because I just judged the way I normally would. I think the scoring was hard, but thankfully I was close on scores to my head judge.
