Hi Shawn, my name is Shane Devereaux. I was given your name by Colin Newell. I have a coffee shop in Victoria called Habit. Anyways I'm going to be in Honolulu and the North Shore as of Friday. Colin said you might be able to let me know where to get a good cup. We're in Honolulu Friday night and then off to Turtle Bay. If you have some time to let me in on the goods, that would be great. cheers mate

Was fun to meet Colin and experience his enthusiasm for all things regarding coffee. Pretty sure you gave him a thorough tour of the respective Oahu locations as well. Very nice folks indeed. Funny, polite and so interested in everything. Hey, looking forward to your paper!

Hey Shawn, I'm also on the coffee researchers' group. I am a chemistry undergrad at the Wilkes Honors College in Jupiter, FL. To graduate honors, I have to do research and write a thesis for my senior year. I hope to write mine on coffee, but am currently looking at what questions I need ask, and what I could contribute to the quality coffee cause.

Currently, I am interning at an environmental chemistry laboratory, where I perform soil and water extractions to test for contamination (BTEX, MTBE, pesticides, etc.). With a little luck, I'll be able to move up into an analyst postition to work with the GC-MS set-ups. So I figure GC-MS analysis of coffee might be a possibility, maybe optimizing extraction of desirable flavors, or increasing yields of antioxidants (chlorogenic acids, anyone?).

For my birthday, I am receiving a copy of Andrea Illy's book on espresso, and possibly the Probat book on roasting. Do you have any other recommendations for scientific literature on coffee? Also, I'd love to learn more about what you do; maybe I really can make this passion into a career.

Hey Shawn. I ran across your profile here and figured maybe I should have one too. I know that doesn't make me as cool as you but I gotta try.
