Profile Information

What is your position in the coffee industry?
barista, coffee shop owner, coffee roaster
Where are you located? ( City and Country )
Honolulu, USA
How many years have you been in the industry?
6
If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?
yes
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Definitely - Ethiopia. Here in Hawaii, we cannot import green bean coffee from Africa due to the Coffee Berry Disease (CBD). Another would be Panama or Indonesia. Any major Coffee Producing country i guess.
About Me:
I have been in the coffee industry for about 6 years. I have worked in many cafes in Honolulu as a Barista, Head Supervisor, Trainer and Head Roaster.
About My Company:
I have had so much fun wearing so many hats and finally had a chance to open a cafe here in Hawaii. The name of the cafe is "Downtown Coffee" and we have been open for about a month. I roast on a Diedrich IR-3 and do small batches to serve incredibly fresh coffee for drip and espresso.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The people out there who are as fanatical about coffee as I am.

Nice! Thanks for the info. -- (Coffee Berry Disease - CBD). I really wish African Coffee didn't have this..... Would love to have a great Harar to roast.

Yes. We are open M-F 7am to 6pm. We are a very new cafe so I am there all the time. Do you go to Glazer's Coffee? Sang is a good buddy of mine and I think he has talked about you.

Alright Brother,
Charles
