Only a few days to go..

This evening after closing, I went to the shop to practice. Armed with my tamp, a gallon of milk, and some good music, Gabbie and I poured lattes until we ran through our gallons. A lot of good looking drinks were made, photographed and dumped, but the best feedback I could have was later, driving home.

I was discussing what went down with Lenore, and she commented that I need to slow WAAAY down on my pours. Thinking this through, she couldn't be more right. I felt like I was under the gun… Continue

Selling my Nuova Simonelli Appia 1-Group

I purchased this machine for catering, but I've since gotten away from that. I catered four wedding receptions about two years ago and pulled about 2,000 shots on the machine. It's great for catering or as a powerful home machine. I would like to get $2,000 for the machine. I'll also include a FLOJET pump.

Saving for the Future in the Coffee Regions of Oaxaca

By Jose Carlos Leon Vargas, international program coordinator at Coffee Kids

When women in the community of Los Naranjos told me about their daily schedule, waking at 4 am and going to bed at 10 pm, I realized that my 7-hour trip down bumpy roads to arrive there couldn’t be compared to the challenges these women face every day.

May 21-22, I visited three Coffee Kids-sponsored microcredit and saving groups with Nelly Zárate, project coordinator with Coffee Kids’ partner… Continue
