Old friends
I had a chance last night to catch up with two friends. We meet up at Lighthouse Coffee House. Steve Ford aka boyman,dogmilque who you might know from Blue Bottle is on the left. He is now roasting for Andrew at Ecco Coffee. Josh Russert who until recently he was the head trainer with Fairstart which is a organization here in Seattle that trains homeless teens how to be Batista's he is now a international trainer with Starbucks. I had the privilege of working with Steve and Josh in my early Zoka days.

It's been awhile
Well it's been awhile since I have posted and my fans have been clamoring for me to write and maybe post some pictures. That is Jeremy keeps bugging me and some stalker girl or maybe there the same person. I have had lots of thoughts of what I should do next, but the holidays came and it's been so dark and dreary hear in Seattle and the extended install of our theoretical roaster and afterburner I just haven't had any extra energy. So I thought I would just let people know that I am still here.
Here is what is going on in my coffee world. First of all our roaster ordeal I think is coming to an end and hopefully we will be up and roasting by....... next month maybe I hope sooner hopefully not later. I should also say that I am sitting at this moment writing this blog at the place that is the current coffee illuminates favorite coffee house that is Victrola. I really like their bar seating. I want a coffee house with bar seating like this but longer. Anyway back to my coffee world. There has been construction going on up and down the street of our main store since last spring and it seems like it is taking forever. It has kill about half our morning business. I am working on a barista certification that was supposed to be done before the first of the year. The first phase is almost done. I hope to make it as comprehensive as a basic barista certification can be. I have actually been working on this for a few years and most of my notes got stolen with my back pack about a year ago. It was very depressing.
I am also currently working on a new and exciting side project that I can't elaborate on at the moment that you will be hearing about either right before or after the SCAA show in NC. I can't say more this is Top Secret.
That's all for now.
Peace to your Grannie
