With less than two weeks to go until the South Centra lBarista competition and there is still alot to do . let's start with the basics.My name is Kirk Knipmeyer and I've been a barista for the past 6 years. After Katrina I started working for Coffee Roasters of New Orleans: barista trainer, technician, and most recently sales. I'm also a member and founder of a little group called the Society of New Orleans Baristas. Now you got the backstory. So as said above still alot to do. Need to find a place to lay the head, most likely the Sheraton, but hey were open to suggestions..... Oh yeah I'm also handlin' the logistics for the rest of the S.N.O.B. krewe( Anderson, Drew, Jeramy , Greg and rumors of some Kentucky action). So being just a ragtag bunch of baristi, we're trying to keep it on the cheap. With car rentals( ooohh yeah.. CAR RENTALS) , burr changes and enough ice chests to keep milk cold for an 8 hour trip, still a bunch to do * ............... So, I'll holla






I would have rather said said beaucoup stuff , but i thought it may have been a little much
