The Diedrich IR3 has been sold.
I updated the ad.
Sorry for any confusion.
thanks
Our shop is small is size and big in coffee. Our equipment and brewing methods have always been right with the curve. I have recently started looking backwards towards HX machines, manual grinders (not timed) FP coffee and cone filter. I have a separate Roaster and have upwards of 20 wholesale accounts. we are coffee leaders in our community and are looking for the right people to work. The pay is relative to your abilities and what you put in to the job. the pay scale is between $10- 18 per hour. the high end pay is for mgt and senior barista. All full time employees are covered by a Health care plan.
Thanks for your interest,
Sam
