Hey Josh! I hear you been serving some good friends of mine down in Napa! I told them to keep an eye out for that red flag, and they had nothing but good things to say! Not that I expected anything else...

A-town is good. Keeping me pretty damn busy. So busy that unfortunately coming out the west coast isn't very much of an option right now.... :(

Next monday? the 17th? sounds good. what time? i usually get in @ noon but if ur coming down i can get here earlier. give me a call 408-497-7430

Rotsko

there shouldn't be much traffic although it is the bay area. if you leave an hour and a half early you will be late, if you leave two hours early you will be early. oh thats confusing... well you get the idea

I think she said she was considering a Synesso. But at half the price...don't let her defile my machine. Are you doing any training with her?

Make sure you take the 280 down to see Rotsko and not the 101 like some coffee n00bs.

I believe I am the noob J is refering to below....but we saw some 12 year old almost flip a painting van...totally worth it.

I would, but I am actually heading up to the shop for a meeting. I told a few BF kids you were coming though. Make sure you stop by the shop as well as the 'Works to say hi. I'll come bother you soon. Jake said you pulled him a killer shot of Lifesaver today, btw.

I'm really liking your last post on rootcoffee. Hope you don't mind if i use it to help create discussion at the cafe i work at. For a wholesale account we have quite a bit of information about the coffee we are selling, but there is always room for growth amongst the staff and relations with customers. Thanks for a great read+

Hey Brother. It was really good to see you in ATL. Paul stopped by yesterday and dropped off the Sweet Tooth Espresso. We pulled shots this morning and got some great flavors out of it (walnut, slight banana, and soft fruit tones,really well balanced). I am glad that the Underground Parcel Service worked so well from San Francisco to Houston. I spoke with Cyndi from Katz, and she thoroughly appreciated the training you gave her. Speak with you soon. Cheers.
