    You mentioned something about a barista jam in ames...what's the name of your shop? We're based in Pleasantville (south of DMS 15 miles) with 3 shops and opening one in Des Moines in the next 3 months. We roast for ourselves and are setting up accounts, and I'd love to talk coffee with you sometime. Looking forward to coming up to Ames sometime.

    We could custom blend something for you or we could just send you a sample of our espresso. What would you prefer?

    If you tell me where to send it, we can send you a sample of our signature house blend and our "Good Morning" blend.

    Yo CJ... Yes, this appears to be an interesting link-site. Until now, I've never participated in an on-line forum like this.... so I'll need to get familiar with how the community operates. Keep in touch! - By the way... that PT's Ad Astra I got from you is fantastic!
