Hey guys,

Two questions:

1. Has any of those attending the Fest in Chicago has ever taken an orgin trip?

2. And out of those who have, anyone willing to sit down during the fest and talk about it?

I'm attempting to do a research paper for school about the affect the american coffee consumer has on individual farms and farmers. With the main thought focusing on Americans paying a fair price for their coffee so as to have positive influance at orgin.

And I guess I can add a third question, anyone have any thoughts on where I can find other resources? I know I may be able to find a lot at the fest, but it doesn't hurt to throw the question out there.

Thanks!
Cherie

Keaton, I agree with the frustration of wasted shots. however thats not our style either. And if the espresso is pulled to 2. oz, then I have no issues with that, I just find few places are doing that. And Jesse, funny enough I was talking with Sc...

The Monmouth way is I guess unique, which is what made them what they are today. In many ways it kind of reminds me of some of the ways coffee is done, fresh, in asia. I guess the key for Monmouth is every cup made, is fresh- not through a animo, ...
