I just became a barista exchange member, so you might not know who I am. I have been associated with ESI since their beginnings (Kent, Joe, Ron...Anastasia,). I have also worked for Illy, Crossroads Espresso, and other coffee companies... many years ago. I plan to come to the Seattle area next month (March 12-19th or so) to do factory training with Nuova Simonelli,to visit Espresso Parts, ESI, Clover, and a variety of coffeehouse road trips. I will be coming with two other guys who are roasters, baristas etc. I would like to make contacts with people I have met at former SCAA shows, Coffee Fest etc so I can introduce my best friends I am coming with to them.

Well no, you don't sound like my mother, I hope you won't in the future either. You sound like a good friend who enjoys poking fun at me.

The Barista Jam in Pa is March 5-7. I need to stick around the burg but hoping I can send Braden and another barista. It's a tough week cause a couple of our staff are on spring break.

We're checking out a location on Wed. It seems like a great location. We got our business account set up. Still working on the loan though. That's the biggest problem at the moment.

Cool interview in Barista, Heather! Hope things are well.

Who do we talk to about private labeling. etc?

Jason Duncan

Heather! Thanks for passing along my request! I have sent Stef and email about it but have not heard anything. I will look forward to hearing from her or Bev.

Ah, the Prom...

It has been a few years since I was at prom. The family throwing the party went all out - cinema screens outside for playing the Wii, lazer tag, inflatables, Evoke (which I think was the best, I'm biased) and more.

It was pretty cool but I don't think I like staying up until 5 in the morning.

Heather...let's just say it could always be better. Our economy here in downtown Jacksonville SUCKS! I need help. Is there someone there that could help me by showing me great ways to bring more people into the store. I feel overwhelmed because I'm doing everything.

The dinner was great and the company wasn't bad either! However, dinner would have been even better if you would have been there! :-D

Hi Heather, hope you are well. Sorry, i am a slacker about checking my exchange emails lately. I did add you to my friends list. I like one of these times when I am just driving by or planning a trip to my office in Seattle, I need to stop by for a great cup of coffee.
