- I started in a tiny coffee-shop in my hometown in high school, and never really left the business. I later worked for Dunn Bros. That's when my passion for coffee really took off. The complexity and personality of all things coffee and the world they create consumed me. I managed an Italian Espresso Bar in downtown Stillwater for many years and am currently a barista and manager at Killer ESP in Alexandria, VA. It has been a big adventure for me to constantly expand my barista knowledge as well as learning management and leadership skills. I love working closely with business owners and other industry professionals. I am also planning my own business during this exciting learning process.

- I live a very simple life with a lot of flavor. I love being a barista, spending time with God, and playing outdoors. I am a proud mother and wife. I love kayaking and frisbee and spending time with people that I love.

We do not offer a class specific to espresso machine maintenance but can certainly offer any assistance to the level of our knowledge so feel free to contact me with any questions. I have a couple of info sheets regarding espresso machine cleaning if want to take a look. They are probably what you have already researched but none the same, let me know if you want me to email you a copy. Send me an email at Kevin@uppermidwestgourmet.com if you want them.
Thanks, I will take you up on the visit, just need to find the time!!
