So excited this is already being discussed. I have been chatting with my good friend Tim about this since he participated in his first jam in Hot-lanta this past fall. January if you're already up to something I'm not trying to steal your thunder, but if not, I invite you to join me and help plan a jam at the LRBC late this month. We close at 2pm so it will be a true "after hours" event. I'm thinking a Friday or Saturday night would be best...2 hour event...beer...coffee...late art throwdown...
By the way, congrats on what I read was a great showing in Tacoma. Also, read about your success at the throwdown...i'm scared of you now.

I'd rather just help somebody else host one. I'd be down with working up a flyer and hitting the street, inviting other cafes. Sunshine never delivered on my training milk, so we got them to agree to donate milk to a jam.
How do you feel about gathering samples from all the new roasters in town and brewing up french press pots for folks to try. Would you be down with that? I can do the foot work. The cafe that was in business at our location before we took over left 9 air pots and a over a dozen french press pots that we never use. So logistically, it works.
Cherry Roasters, St Johns Coffee Roasters, Cellar Door Coffee Roasters, Blue Kangaroo Coffee Roasters. . . I may even get my old boss to throw down some 10 Speed Coffee beans.
Whaddya say?

Throwdown at the LRBC would be awesome! i could probably get my roaster to donate a few pounds too! The only thing for me is that my shop closes at midnight so i don't get out of there till 12 30 or 1, so way late night would work, or i could just show up late

Lorenzo and Steve,
Thank you so much!!! Your recommendations sound great; I can’t wait to try them all!
try a latte with twice the amount of vanilla as cinnamon (2 pumps vanilla, 1 pump cinnamon for a 12oz) - you can still clearly taste the cinnamon although not overbearing.
I also had a pretty bad experience with discountmugs.com - we now order all cremaware from espresso supply (link bleow)

Karl,
Is Synesso, in there comment, trying to say that maintenance and up keep can be handled by a local technician?
The fact that KVDW is only 72 miles away is a huge consideration in some respects.

Thanks for the reply so far guys. Jays remarks are absolutely to be considered. The servicing of the Synesso is absolutely a point. This is what Synesso has to say about that;
