Jon.... I just had the Yemen Mocca Sanani you sent with Robbie. Wow that was good. It was earthy, but still clean and sweet. I loved it. I shared it with my wife and my good friend Dale. We were all floored. Thanks so much. I almost brewed a second press of it right there. But, I think I'll save as much as I can to share with some other friends. Cheers!

Hey Jon,
Thanks for adding me as a friend and also to a brother Mobile Coffee House...there ain't many of us around. How is it going? Do you do events and stage or just how do you operate.

Hi Jon. I see your truck at the Farmer's Market.... Love It and the whole theme. I own Sunshine Espresso on the corner of Gov't and Ironwood. I wanted to contact you about the possibility of a CoffeeFest CDA. I know it would be a ton of work but what do you think? ~Michelle

No one from here going to the MRBC this year. But as a team we have made this year's goal to make MRBC 2010 with the whole staff, some to compete, some to certify as judges, and some to volunteer. We will call up former baristas to watch the store and make it en mass no matter what in 2010!!!
