First of all...Join this group! This group is a means to help AZ coffee pros network and continue to improve the quality and professionalism in AZ coffee. Second, I will be doing some cuppings at Press in Phoenix starting in August if you are interested. Please send me a message if you are interested in hearing more. Also, have everyone at your shop join this group. We are just starting out and we want to get the ball rolling. Thanks!

Thanks. I had received an email from someone at Press (maybe you) on Twitter. I hope to make it up in August. I'm not in a shop but am interested in Networking. I am a new coffee geek. Have been roasting for a couple of years, but am stepping it up. I also am interested in tasting different blends and SO's. Thanks and I hope to meet you one of these days.

Thanks Serena. No slight to the men, but it's good to see a female on this board. I notice mostly guys seem to be coffee geeks. Why is that I wonder? Anyway, I'll be coming up to the Phoenix area about once a week starting in Aug./Sept. I will make an effort to come see your location.

Hey Tom,
Glad to see that I am coming into an area where people are interested in bringing more coffee education to the people. Don't know if you've heard yet, but we are opening a cafe in the Bookmans location in Mesa and are also interested in reaching out to the local coffee community....baristi and geeks alike are all welcome!
Thanks for starting this group and friending me. I'm still down here in Tucson, but will be up in Mesa soon and will be sure to drop into Press and check it out.
Thanks!
Serena
p.s. Welcome Sheila!
