So,
In case you haven't noticed, I've been pretty damn BUSY since we opened the doors on the new Temple. The response thus far has been great... considering we did a soft open in the middle of a Sacramento Summer. Soon, new baristas will be trained, the hours will expand from 6-6 to 6-11, and we'll start roasting.
Before I forget, we bought a car last night! 97 Subaru Outback Sport. Pretty low miles, some cosmetic damage, but hey, it works like a fuckin dream. 2900 out THE DOOR!
Anywho, there has been some awesome Sacramento coffee community shit happening the past few months: Old Soul and Chocolate Fish have been holding cuppings. Everything considered (new location, new house, etc), I haven't been able to go... UNTIL THIS LAST SATURDAY. And lemme tell you, I think the wait was worth it.
Not only was Andy and Edie (chocolate fish) there (along with several staff members whose names I unfortunately forgot already), but Andrew Barnett and Drew Cattlin from Ecco came up to represent, Sarah and Lucas from Bloom also partook... along with 15+ other Sacramentans that just love coffee!!!
The cupping also included four brewing demonstrations: Lucky on the Mellitta Pour Over, Drew on the Siphon, Lucas on the Eva Solo, and yours truly on (what else) the French Press.
It was a huge fuckin blast, but damn it, my camera ran out after I took all of THREE FUCKIN PICTURES.
Stay tuned for Temple Classes, new training, and possibly me going to LA to do shit with the SCAA/BGA.
Wacky
