Thanks to coffeeisfood for the compliments

We got a nice review from a coffee freak on the west coast recently.  It's a review of our roast of Tim O'Brien's coffee from the San Martin neighborhood milled at his Cafetin micro-mill.  We love it, and we are glad some else enjoyed it too.

"lil' ol' gramma in a younger man's body"

That's what a friend of mine described me as, when I told him of my ideas for fancy ticklin' with mail order add ons.  You know, a sticker here, a little print there... Who doesn't like a little something extra?  Like a Patagonia catalog, you get sweet investment clothing and inspiring photos of people living exotically where ever they are.  

That's what we try to do.  Walk past burger kings, eat bananas while spilling coffee while the sun rises on your way to work, and you have to wear a sweatshirt in Kansas City on June 3rd.  Anyhow, live like you mean it in whatever you are doing.  I guess that's an obvious sentiment, but I have to keep reminding myself.  

So, that's what this little image is, a testament to the gramma in all of us.  

update

The space is coming along.  Some sweat, cleaning efforts and a lot of roasting has characterized the past couple months.  Oh, and joy - let me not forget to record that quality.  

Until we commit to build out the whole space, we are laying down some rugs over the well worn and stained tile floor.  We are about 8 rugs and 8 curtains from being finished.  

As for the coffee, the season is changing, and bringing with it some great stuff.  I cupped an FTO Guatemala last week that tasted as if it was an African.  So, we will definitely be getting some of that.  As well as some tangy Tanzanian, we will be getting a beautiful auction lot of Kenya AA.  

Exciting...  Thanks for your support.
