Bit of an update:
A local magazine called "Fuego" has asked me to write coffee articles for their bi/monthy mag. First one is on the shelves here now.
Also my son and I spent an hour and a half at a local cafe here yesterday where the owner invited me to help him with his pour over coffee he has just introduced. He had also asked if Id be interested in roasting specifically for this side of his business.
So its slowly turning around here and at least I am welcome in one Cafe in town ;D
Beauty Chris
You have the 5 kg roaster so the Skys the Limit

In tonights edition of the local rag here, the Editor has made reference to the coffee topic of late. Maybe he gets the last word but I think from his comments there maybe more... ;D

AM I have it on good authority they all have Certificates :
CB
so you guys have Kelogs over there 2.
Certificates aint certificates..... I would rather a pasionAte and experienced one any day. They tell me you can order brides on line and they come with a certificate?
This was the line that made "angry man" go off. He is the only local roaster. AMs reference was regarding one of our local coffee middle men of a fairly large National roasting company who only recently added roast dates to their offerings.
So "angry man" thought I had mentioned him :
Anyway I managed to keep my cool and just listened to his complaints that ended up covering just about everything I had ever said (funny he only had one point to start with) but my wife said she wants the phone next time 8-)
