Getting to know more people on a deeper level, because it's smaller. I also love that I can kinda kick back and enjoy most of it! Plus the Millrock Latte Art competition is cool.

I love the passion you find in abundence there. Sharing in it is like refueling before heading back to the daily grind. My only question, why every other year? Two years between the refueling, the passion, the conecting, the coffee...mmmm coffee... the wait is too long I say! I can't wait til Feb.
Some of those I've trained in my cafe (the one I work in, not own) are already laughing at me because I smile and get giddy (for lack of a better word) when coffee fest is mentioned.
I've already warned them what I'll be like when I get back. :)

Coffee Fest what's not to get excited about. Getting together with friends from all over, many I only see during Coffee Fest. It's an opportunity to share notes and taste, sample and experience the wonderful world of espresso. I leave rejuvinated and re-excited.
Living and having my store here in Washington - 60 or so miles south of Seattle in Olympia - I attend in Seattle though I am planning to visit Coffee Fest outside of Washington to compare Seattle's espresso experience with that of other cities.

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I'm just getting tired of having the same old chai...I'd like to have something a little more unique. Although the the DIY chai sounds amazing, I'm not sure we could handle going through all that work...it would be more...
For people who love making, roasting, drinking, and smelling coffee in Bend's ever expanding coffee scene.
If your Americano tastes terrible after it's cooled, then I'd venture to say that you're probably doing something wrong. (or it's a problem with the coffee)
I do see where the last sentence seems to be asking what day-to-day practices you exercise when serving customers; but the entire preceding body implies personal preference. Personally, I like to make mine as hot as I can get it —pulled into a pre...
Inigo, if you ever do decide to get an I-Roast2, I sell them here at the shop and could ship one to you. Runs on 110 Volts. As Teresa said it is a great way to learn and get better at the basics. It was my first roaster as well.

I have been reading online about the outbreak of the broca bug in Colombia this year from all the excess of rain. I know they are predicting a major shortage in the new crops coming in, and I read somewhere that certain regions had it as bad as 38...
