    Hey, dude. Thanks again for that killer macchiato the other day. I think i've decided it moved into the top 3 best macchiatos i've ever had, as opposed to just the top 5.

    If you're ever in Atlanta be sure swing by Octane and say hey.

    Congratulations again! I didn't get a chance to tell you, but your pistachio paste was amazing. You should probably patent and package it or something. Also...I was wondering what your music was? USBC?

    Congrats on the great coffee & routine. Hope to see more of your skillin live again. Your pistacchio paste made me think of the delights of gelato season coming up. We have this pistachio bronte gelato (from scratch recipe) that a local cat does. Might have to find a way to get you down here to ingest it?
