Thanks for the welcome, Mike!

I was introduced to home roasted coffee in 2004, and I enjoy making & drinking SO espresso, as well as roasting my own coffee in my Hottop. I have a Livia-90S paired with a Rocky doser-less, that has served me well over the last 4 years.

Mike,

It appears that a new member is sending out spam messages to a lot of members. Check the "recent comments" list for helen. This is the message that I received:

Thanks so much Mike. I'm in the beginning planning stages making sure this will be a solid business option which I think so. After reading your post last nite, I went to Selby Soft website and immediately knew it was the POS system for me. I'm really nervous but I'm going for it. So don't be surprised if I contact you for help.

Yeah, I was sorry I didn't make it by like I'd hoped to. Seems like 12 to 5 on the trade floor just wasn't quite long enough. Anyway, I will try to find a slot in my schedule and get back to you. Thanks!

Thanks, I've been a member for over a year but something happened & I think someone hacked my account so I cant get into it anymore. Still trying to work it out. Had to sign up for a new account just to email someone to let them know what was going on to fix it.

Thank you. I think this site is great

Tell me more about you!

Are you going to the Roasters Guild retreat in Stevenson Wa August 13th-16?

Cirqua is giving a class/water lab available to all who attend this retreat on Saturday 8-15; I talked with Skip Finley yesterday who is participating with David from Cirqua, sounded really interesting.
