The Ugly Mug Cafe in Michigan-- not the one in Seattle, Orange County, Memphis, or anywhere else. We opened about 3 and a half years ago in an old Greyhound Station. We used Victrola Coffee for the majority of the time before we started roast our own beans-- they pretty much held our hand until we learned to walk. We started roasting about 2 years ago under the e-mail supervision of Tonx and now we rock.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
eh, anywhere probably.....yeah, no.....anywhere.
About Me:
My vices include: coffee, cigarettes, beer, whiskey, music, and bad tv. I have a dog and no cats. I'm the Rep for the Great Lakes Chapter of the BGA. Sometimes I write for Barista Magazine. My favorite color is brown and I think I'm probably burning a batch right now...
About My Company:
laid back.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
groupies.

Good Day,

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mrsstellakwale588@gmail.com) ) for the full details.

Have a nice day

Thanks God bless.

Mrs Stella.
