Our Coffee Barn

 Importing Espresso Tampers

We have started to Import Espresso Tampers directly from a manufacturer in China.  This first order is a test market order, if sales are good we will buy them in larger quantities. Please Inquire if you would like to buy them in larger quantities (5 or 10 of each color and size), if we get enough inquiries we will place a larger order, turnaround time is about 30 days from us wiring the money to our receipt of tampers.

Here is a short description and some pictures of the sample tamper we ordered.  I loved the way it felt in my hand while I used it, and the American curve seemed to pull a pretty good shot too!

I just love the trend of going back to slow food and enjoying your foods! To order just click on the picture of the beans to go to it’s listing on our “estore”.

About this Coffee:

This coffee was produced with the help of Slow Food International. The Slow Food movement aims to support small-scale producers who preserve crop varieties, agricultural practices, and food traditions. A Presidium, or an organized group of producers, was created in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala with the help of Slow Food. Today, the Presidium consists of 170 small growers who are organized through local cooperatives in three different communities: San Pedro Necta, La Libertad, and Todos Santos Cuchumatán.
The Presidium producers work to protect both the health of the local environment and the well-being of the producers and their families. In addition, producers are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of the coffee they produce, and educational workshops and technical training help to give producers a better understanding of the factors that affect the quality of coffee.

Paul from US Roaster Corp sent me a software update to fix some minor flaws in the program of my profiler.  I got it installed OK and the roaster is up and running just fine!

I turned 45 today and to celebrate, we are having a special on two of our blends on the Wholesale Store! Raging Bull Espresso Blend for the dark roast fans and Farmers Morning Blend for the lighter roast fans.  Both can be used as either a drip brewed house special or as an espresso blend for the espresso based drinks or as straight espresso.

Here are the coffees listed in the Specials Section of the Wholesale Store. The prices are valid for the rest of August.

Thank you, Barb. 

I appreciate the credit but you didn’t have to do that.
Your usual shipping procedure is just fine w/ me.  I don’t often panic, but being w/o GOOD coffee beans will send me there fast.  I share my ‘stash’ w/my 80 year old mother.  We both think your product is the best thing since sliced bread…or ground beans, as it were!
Thank you again, both for the great coffee we enjoy daily, and the great service you’ve given us.

Sincerely,
Chris

Thanks, Barb.  The package arrived in great shape today.  Great customer service!
