Catering has Begun





We are ready to cater. It is awesome. We have the new GS3 from La Marzocco. It is an amazing machine. We can produce the same quality shots anywhere (maybe not the moon). Ed and Justin were rockin it at an office building the other day. Bryan (one of our customers) asked us to cater a meeting they had. Ed and Justin had a lot of fun. It is really cool to be able to take what we do to the streets.

El Salvador



I went to El Salvador with the Roasters Guild in January. I met up with Mike McKim (our roaster Cuvee Coffee Roasters) after 5 days of touring lots of coffee farms and beneficios (where they process the coffee cherries). Mike and I went to the farms he buys from. We talked with the owners and saw the farms. It was unbelievable.

The Pacas family was very good to us. We had such a great time hanging out with them. We met almost the entire family. It really is a family run business. We buy the El Salvador San Juaquin from them.

We stayed up late into the night talking coffee with Aida and Jose Antonio. Cerro las Ranas is the coffee we buy from them. We stayed at the Beneficio that over looked the drying patios where they dry the beans after being processed.

I will have more on this at a latter date. I am also going to put a slide show together and show it at the shop soon.
