Days when I get a late start are nice. I can relax a bit, check out updates in the world of sports or gaming, make a cup of coffee to suit my strength and taste… and just think. Often, I get hit with a distraction or two, but I can be pretty good about getting back to my intended target. This morning, it’s here with all of you.
I don’t have a lesson to teach today. No words of profound coffee wisdom to share. Just a few things on my mind, and I want them out in the open.
I’m looking in to what it will take to open my own shop. Sooner than later…and it scares me a bit, to be honest.
I know it’s what I want. I know the feel I’m going for.
Community. Each week, lessons on coffee: brewing, origin, roasting. Open forums. Just gathering times for people who love coffee.
A coffee lover’s coffee shop.
I know the equipment I want.
La Marzocco gb/5. For espresso enthusiasts, you would be hard pressed to find anything better. Pair this machine with a well-trained, knowledgeable team, and you have a winning recipe for coffee.
Each cup of coffee served will be Gold Cup certified. To be the best, you must serve the best. Fine tuning each controllable element into the perfect cup of craft roasted, craft brewed coffee.
A coffee shop by coffee lovers, for coffee lovers. The shop will be a destination, a space to gather and be a (hopefully) growing coffee community. The beans will be journeys to far off lands. Offering a taste of Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Kenya, Java, Indonesia. Bringing cultures together, unified in coffee.
We’re still in beginning stages. Baby steps.
But trust me, my friends. When I know something, you’ll know something!
