Profile Information

What is your position in the coffee industry?: coffee shop owner, coffee roaster

Where are you located? ( City and Country ): Portland, Oregon

How many years have you been in the industry?: 22

If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?: maybe

Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.: I have four coffee shops in the Portland Oregon metro area. Shops are a combination of quality in atmosphere and quality in products. As a roaster retailer we look for flavor profile in the cup and sustainable nature of the coffee.

Equipment in the coffee shops are Fetco Drip Brewers, La Marzocco Linea and GB-5.

About Me:: My first job in the coffee business was delivering to vending machines. My first cup was from a freeze dried RMI Office brewer. Wasn't enough cream or sugar to make it tast good. Our business was a family run operation back in the late 80's. Since then we began roasting on a Sivetz 30# and opened 4 retail shops. I enjoy participating in many of the industry trade shows and sharing ideas from other industry folks.

About My Company:: World Cup is a specialty coffee roaster, retailer and office coffee service company. We specialize in sourcing great coffees, providing great quality products and superior customer service. We are a family owned company with my father and myself. Our main focus is on the quality of the bean on the cupping table. We also have a high concern for the sustainable nature of the coffee.

The clear "shield" is just a safety unit, I haven't found any difference in the roast weither it is up or down. I tilt it up so I can get a better view of the beans as they progress through the roasting stages.
I received the unit (bought it from Burman Coffee Traders) about a week before Christmas and have run close to 60 batches so far. For my application, as a home roaster and someone that had zero experience, the Gene Cafe has been great.

Thanks for watching my video.

He was a humble man with wisdom that was 1000 times anyone I have ever met - we all have lost an irreplaceable figurehead. Thanks for your kind words...
