Jason,
Great to hear your moving to Okc! My wife has some family around there so we make it there now and then. Please keep me posted where and when on the party. I wish you the very best of success, quality coffee is by far the rare exception here in Oklahoma rather than the rule and it can get really, really, really frustrating to hear so many people ask "Is your cappuccino's as gooder as the ones as the quick mart's is? I seriously have wanted to club someone with a portafilter but it is Oklahoma and educating the masses is a marathon, not a sprint, to use a cliche. Take care and please keep in touch!

I think the coffee shop in NYC we were talking about today was called Grumpy's...or something like that. Could that be it?

Cold this am, but nicer at the end of the day. You know MT weather...business is good and picking up for the month of April. How are things on your end? Any plans to make it back to the Big Sky country any time soon? TTFN-

Chances are that you make a latte so well that women and children weep out of joy. With that said, it's my humble suggestion that you brew one up, and make a homemade Whynatte. Please take photos! That's somewhat mandatory.

Sorry to say we are not open. As always everything takes twice as long and cost twice as much. Thanks for the inquiry. I will keep you advised.

We are in Addison. That is north of Downtown about 20 min. drive up the Dallas North Tollway. Our actually address is 15012 Beltway dr. zip code is 75001 ( if you want to map it.) If you coming down from OKL. make your way over to the Tollway going south, exit Beltline and go left(west) after you pass Inwood, the next light is beltway dr. make a left, go all the way back until you dead-end into a parking lot, we are on the right Addison Coffee Roasters, I'll be here until 6pm.

We're located on Northwest Highway about 4 miles east of 75 in Dallas. Coming from OKC, you'll just take 75 north out of down town, exit Northwest Highway. Go down 4-4 1/2 miles and we're on the right hand side after Audelia, before Ferndale. We'll have live music tonight, tomorrow and Sunday at 8 pm.

Sadly, no, I won't be in Dallas. I was at the SCAA conference this past weekend.

Been working on it some, but not that much. Amber, Bren and my Mom are with me as well as playing music (how rock and roll is that? haha!) so that's been keeping me busy. Also had a bit of gear problems, so I've been on the phones making heads roll. Argh.

Jason! Did you check out James' post on the new Slayer espresso machine? Looks nice..i love the craftsmanship of the machine. :)

Miss you all!!
Hope Evoke is doing well and you guys are happy!
Colorado is hard--forgot we were in a recession economically and I've been competing with the whole unemployed world in trying to get a job. Luckily my boyfriend makes good money...*whew! I have some flex room to get a job.

talk to you soon!

Feb 2, 2009
Michelle Duregger

Have fun at Crested Butte. Definitely give me a holler if you get something started in Colorado.
Take care!

Hi Jason,

Joel did not work in Bozeman. Although we, his parents, live there, all three of our boys relocated to their home state of CA. Joel lived and worked in Los Angeles for Tim Castle and Company. He wrote many articles for the trade magazines. You can catch a look at him with his company if you google Joel Starr Los Angeles, CA and clck on anything to do with coffee or electronica music.

Thanks for your interest.

Hey Jason, we are going to be opening on Campus Corner in Norman. Bringing good coffee to campus, finally! On another note, I think you guys are catering a friend of mine's wedding in a few months (Stephanie Bulmer) so I will see you then. Also, I am checking out Elemental Coffee today. Any other local roasters I should make a point to talk to?
