I work the bar and head up wholesales and barista training at Metropolis Coffee in Denver.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Going back to Milan for a futbol game would be nice, but I think going to origin would have to be the first, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Guatemala anywhere really would be great. Oh and Dubai or Moscow would be interesting.
About Me:
I love my liquids, coffee, beer, wine, and getting into scotch a little bit. Would like to be more of a foodie, so if you have any good easy recipes or amazing restaurants to get me going, that would be much appreciated. Soccer is pretty big, FORZA MILAN! and I suppose I dabble in art a bit, mainly posters.
About My Company:
Metropolis Coffee has been in Denver for the last seven years where killer espresso and single origin offering is the name of the game. We are also a Verso wine tasting room, wine strait from the Palisades in Grand Junction, Colorado.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The people and what happens when we all get together.
