I work for an Italian Coffee Roaster in Seattle. I am a salesperson, a student of coffee, and an educator. My job is to bring in new customers for the company that I work for, on a regular basis. Once the customer comes aboard, my job is to find ways to help their business grow.

What do I get out of Coffee Fest?

I enjoy meeting new people at Coffee Fest. In addition to conversing with friendly prospective customers, I take time to develop a team of networkers who, like me, are interested in exchanging leads and referrals. I do this at each coffee exhibit and it always pays off in new sales for me.

Also, I like to exchange ideas with others and pass on any new ideas to my customers. Additionally, I enjoy finding new information on coffee that will advance my education as a student of coffee.

Thanks for inviting us Matt. Coffee fest has really help our company bring the independent and small chain cafes together with a Wi-Fi solution that rivals that of the giant corporations. This industry is full of some great people and one of our goals is to get them the best network solutions to enable them to keep spreading that greatness.

Also, we send a "shout-out" to all of you that have had a positive influence on our company (if you have to ask, we are probably talking to you). Without your support we wouldn't be able to meet - let alone help - all the wonderful people that we do. hope to see you all in Chicago. Best Wishes!

Thanks, Matt for the invite to Coffee Fest Friends (and *greetings* to all you Coffee Fest Friends!). Looking forward to reading some discussions, and lovin' the comments.

We are living what Duane talked at CF by opening a couple of Brevita units in Austin next month. Will be blogging all about it in a while....

Ahh.. Coffee Fest '03. I received 3rd place against Sammy Piccolo in Latte Art contest. We were in a small side room with well dressed Italian machine salesman laughing at how serious we were. Look how far it's come in such a short time. Big event, big money. Sammy started competing again, maybe I should too.

Hello everyone. It has been great working beside and forming friendships with many of you. For those of you that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting or befriending, I am looking forward to it. See you in our (WEBbeams') back yard in February. Don't Forget your cold weather gear!!!

By the way, which one of you was handing out chocolate covered beans for Halloween? Cruel trick for a kid - Good treat for me....

My first exposure to the specialty coffee community outside of my local training was at coffeefest. I saw some of the latte art competition going on there and was able to sit in on some great lectures that helped me grow in my knowledge/skill as a barista. I look forward to this year in Chicago greatly!
