Kiddo back at ya! Shots are yummy and Blue is yummier. No special blend yet. What's taken so darn long? Olympia's not that far - oh, maybe Atlanta is though. Can't wait.

ooohhhh!!! ya i tried to call you on friday but you weren't in the office. we really enjoyed the BLUE! i even turned a few customers onto it. it was a big hit! bright and fruity!? though i preferred it as a straight espresso. needless to say i "O-D"ed on coffee the day that arrived. yummy! i would love to learn more about what makes it the way it is. i think i could really sell it.
thanks oliver!

Oliver,
I hear you're sick...?
I left a message on your work number, but I thought it might help to drop you a comment anyway: wanna cancel training tomorrow? It's alright by me, I'll have a long enough day as it is.
let me know,
km

No, no, no, my friend, it is you who happens to be the best.

If I am able to compete in the competition this year, I know what my signature drink is going to be :)

Want to help me train again this year?

Yes, sir! It's a unique opportunity to work both ends of the process, and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm very lucky; it's coffee nirvana for me. Amore!

I'm a newcomer to the Oly scene but I've really dug what I've seen of it so far. One of the first spots I had to try was your tasting room, very cool. The gals there are always super friendly and I love the coffee.

I bought a set of dark green, antique Lenox demitasse cups today for the NWBC! I'll show them to you when they come in... I am very excited! Woot!

Prior I worked as a barista for the Mandolin Cafe in Tacoma. While living down in Portland I had two cool experiences with Portland Roasting and Coffee People. I guess I've been working with coffee for a decade, off and on. It's a lifelong obsession.

Lauren

The folks I bought my cups from said they were 3oz, but they are 4oz! Too big :( It's too bad because they are gorgeous... They would be nice for a Signature Drink, but not mine!
I'll still bring em in to show you...

Hey Oliver, sorry about Monday... I totally forgot!
I also forgot to call you to tell you that I forgot.
I'm leaving this message just in case I forget to remember to tell you that I'm sorry.

sorry!

Thanks for reading. It only roasts 80grams so there is not too much smoke. It is placed near a window and fan. Lots of trial and error. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hey Oliver, Trihouse is rocking these days. Almost all of new customers swear off every other place in town after their first visit here. Our steam wands still sucks though. I think it's going to blow a hole in the container sooner or later

Twilight forever.

Thanks for sending Holly by to see me - my friend, Mike, was manning the machine and created a beauty of a macchiato. Always good to make the Batdorf connection.

Hey Oliver, thank you for that really nice email. I read it this morning and it made my day. Best mood ever! (... or maybe that has more to do with the 4 shots of espresso I've had thus far...
hmmm....)

Hey Oliver!

So, I finally got an account. At least a month after I said I would... :)

And I gotta say, I made myself a Dancing Goats cappuccino on Saturday and it was the single best cup I've ever had.

See you at coffee fest?

Nice seeing you at Tazza D'Oro. A good time, and that Esmeralda kept me up a little late. I have a hard time not drinking it up. Take care.

Hey Oliver, missed you in Seattle. Elvin told me you are bike trippin around Germany. Man, am I jealous! Oktoberfest by bicycle, doesn't get much better than that. I hope you have a great trip and you have to share some photos and stories to share later. Bye for now. Ben

Thanks for the help today Oliver (I learned a few things, just from that brief exchange). I look forward to gaining more knowledge from you, and the other super-talented peeps at work. I am way out of practice & have so much to discover, so feel free to throw your wisdom at me any time.
