Sunday evening at the coffee shop.

Here I sit listening to the roaster hum, and Sandy curse the flame for going out. She roasted last week and yesterday after we closed. We tasted some Colombia that she roasted yesterday. It was a little too fruity for her tastes, but I thought it was ok. I would like to see a bit more caramel in the flavor. It did go a tad sour once cooled.

Check out:
www.BlueBottleCoffee.com (one of our web-clients)
www.MainStreetCoffees.com (my hometown shop)

I use a stove-top espresso maker or my french press. Main St.'s "Roasters Blend" is dark and yummy. My studio is up in Farmland, but have an office on 86th St. near Meridian. Is that close to your shop?

FYI and thanks for the pot of tea earlier today.
