I worked for the 'Bou, Dilworth Coffee in Charlotte, and now call Batdorf & Bronson Coffee in Atlanta home. I train in espresso, and help people open coffeehouses and cafes.

They were one of the first to trade directly with farmers, building relationships, and investing in their lives. They are a certified Organic roaster, also offering Fair Trade offerings. They are based out of Olympia, WA, but also operate a roastery in Atlanta, which is where I work out of. I work with an amazing group of people there, like Mike Ferguson, heck all of them.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?: The coffees. The people. The love.

No...I'm hanging with about 125 of my closest second grade friends listening to them sing 7 "holiday" songs before a PTA meeting. FAAAABULOUS. We are going to ditch the PTA part...

Hey Thanks for the info Jason. I made it to the Cornelius store around rush hour. Awful timing on my part, but great area, good looking store, and good coffee.

hey jason, i'd love to make a drink for you over at two story. We're located in 5 points across from Earth Fare on S. Lumpkin. RedEye's great, you should definitely go check them out.

Jason, it was a blast meeting you and your wife and just jivein! That spouted bell was the jizzy jam. I am definitely going to press Gregg to buy one of those. Looking forward to seeing you again at regionals if not sooner. Are you 100% certain that is in February? Also, please don't forget, I'm doing a cross country foot, bike, hitch hike, etal. great American adventure and I'm using this opportunity to do a lot of meeting and working with roasters, retailers, etc etc to help foster and inspire the coffee revolution. I will be coming through North Carolina for certain so I'd love it if you and Dilworth were a part of my adventure. I'll be blogging about my trip so it will, hopefully, be a story worth reading about.

Jason, it was great working with you at the SERBC this weekend. I didn't realize how exhausting the thursday-sunday grind was until I was on the drive home-- then found out half way back that I'd need to cover an opening shift for one of our baristas. Anyway, it was all worth it. Glad to see great things happening in the southeast!

Yeah, I work for Shane. I wish I could have been at the shop when you came by. I am on my way to pouring art. I am still pretty new but I think I am making fast improvement. I have been in coffee for six years on and off and I am just getting into pouring now. The issue is that once I poured my first successful piece I didn't want to stop. Now I fear going and buying ten gallons of milk and wasting all of it practicing. Haha! Anyways thanks for the invite. Hopefully if you are back in the area we can meet.

Wow, it's great to meet you. Funny how small bx makes the world seem... I was born in Durham, have lived in GA for 12 years now. Looks like you know everybody who is somebody in the coffee industry, or at least the ones being written about in Barista Magazine. I really hope I can come to the SCAA Expo in Hotlanta, and meet some of y'all.

I have recently returned to Charlotte after my training in Minneapolis with Espresso Partners. I am looking for some great coffee joints here and am trying to map them all out. Any ideas?? I have been to many places that serve Dilworth and needless to say I am impressed. I even picked up some 90 point Brazil so that I could make it on my Yama, Very delicious.

Jason, a friend of mine from my old schooldays was recently trained by you at Sayago's Hometown Cafe and Creamery. She was super impressed, and rightly so. i am glad she learned from someone that is truly dedicated to the craft.

I have not picked a place yet due to this horrible economny. There have been some other problems that have kinda slowed me down. How has your shop faired. I wanted to open in 2010 but am not sure if that will happen.

Hi Jason - I noticed your passion for coffee, and see you are deeply invovled. We are a company located in Highlands, NC. We have a gourmet grocery store in town, and have started up our roasting operations, which has been well received. We are in the process of opening an espresso/coffee bar and we are looking for a tlaented indiivdual to head up the shop. Given you obivious involment in the industry, I wanted to see if you could steer any talent our way; it could be a significant opportunity for them, as well as us. By the way us is Mountain Fresh Grocery. I aopolgize for the direct contact. REgards. Don
