SCAA - First Day Down

The first day of the SCAA is over and done with. We had some great conversations and it appeared that the show was pretty busy! I saw a couple of bX'ers out here!

Tomorrow I'll be giving a gift card presentation on the show floor. Hopefully people are paying attention :).

20g of Counter Culture Finca Mauritania

It seriously doesn't get much better than that.


I love our Pour-Over bar!

SHOULD YOU BE A NORDSTROMS OR A WALMART?

I would really like to get some feedback from fellow coffee shop owners about pricing. In these economic times, as you watch your regular customers tighten their spending, stopping in a few less times a week, have you thought about changing your pricing to be viewed as more of a value? The fast food chains have done it and I bet some of you know of a coffee chain that has done it. I have considered it. My shop is currently known as top quality and is priced slightly below Starbucks. I am… Continue

Kudos to coffee

It's interesting to look through this website and note the excitement that has started to flood it with the WBC and SCAA coming up in less than a week. I haven't been apart of this industry long enough to claim myself a mover or shaker or maybe even terribly significant yet. And even though this sounds like I'm dissing myself, I'm not I promise. Through this site I have come across some astounding people and personalities, all of which have caused me to dream again, and feel as though those… Continue

Meeting Andrea Illy

Last week Monday (6 April) started with much anticipation for me. I had a sleepless night previously as I look forward to a visit by Andrea Illy. An icon of the coffee industry internationally, to have him make time to visit us in his short, one-day stop in Singapore was an honour for Geek Terminal.



Not many can claim to have met him personally but this is one privilege I had and etched as one of the more memorable meeting in my life.…

Is it a mystery?

Is it a mystery? How do I get a job at a coffee shop that's not Starbucks. I have worked for Starbucks years ago, and for Tully's Coffee as well. Obviously, this isn't what I want to do. But how do I get into a coffee shop where I will really learn how to be a barista? Just for an example, how does one work for Stumptown? Or any reputable cafe?
Thank guys

By Rail through Java

Many years ago rail was the way I used to get around Java. The Dutch built a comprehensive railway system in the 1880's designed to make passenger and goods transport from the interior easy. At one stage lones ran both West-East and North-South criss-crossing the entire island.



These days the railway runs from Jakarta through to Banyuwangi in the East of the island. Tracks service Bandung, Surabaya, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Blitar, Malang and Probolinggo. 10 years ago I used to make it… Continue

Looking forward to SCAA

Well, it's less than a week before the SCAA in Atlanta. The last time this show was in Atlanta it was one of the best coffee shows we have done. We are always excited to attend these shows as we get to see existing and new clients.



The SCAA will be a good show as it is the fourth one we have done this year. So far the attendance has been pretty good at the shows.



This time, I'll be presenting a 20 minute session on gift cards during the Tricks of the Trade in the middle of… Continue

New Orleans has more to offer than Chicory

Being from New Orleans and loving my city with every last breath it hurts to hear that people judge our coffee culture based on Chicory. Yes we do drink it, yes I was raised on it and yes it tastes like burnt plastic. But you know what, it's a part of our culture as a city and I don't hate on your city based on something unique to your home. As a professional barista in New Orleans, I see that baristas here are trying to get up to speed with the rest of the nation on bean quality, a perfect… Continue
