Our plans for the day are to get some more pictures of some new products that we are going to carry on our sites store.  I will be posting them here as I can.

Saturday May 3rd

I want to apologize if this blog does not look or flow like other blogs, I am a Coffee Roaster NOT a reporter!

I had to get a picture of this roaster, the only thing similar to my current roaster is the color!  I would love to be able to fill this roaster up for 10 or 20 batches a day! but I only need a 15K roaster I think this one is a 40K or so.

Petes new roaster?

We walked a LOT and met alot of peolple too.  When we wanted a place to rest the US Barista Competition was the place with the chairs.

 

Some of the competitors had to deal with a lot of cameras too!

The waiting and watching sensory judges.

Grinding and dosing for a shot of espresso.

We are going to the 2008 SCAA Convention in Minneapolis!

Here is a link to the Specialty Coffee Association of Americas Convention Official Site

We will be attending the convention May 2nd through May 4th.  Watch this section of our site for live updates from the floor of the show! Or at least nightly updates, I am not a reporter!

We had a great day at the convention!  Got some new business contacts, and met a few established contacts for the first time!   We could not take any video of the show.  I did take a few photos today but I do not have the photo editing software on my laptop to get the pictures to a smaller size for the site, sorry.

Sunday Morning:

I am finding out my new sites blogging abilities and I do not need my expensive photo editing software for this!
