The Texas Barista Jam

January 11, 2007 · Filed Under Uncategorized 

I am sorry that this site came to exist AFTER the Jam took place, so for those who missed it because they didn’t know about it, I would like to apologize.

The link to the t-shirts on the right is to offer a way to buy one if you attended and wanted a wearable souvenier (or didn’t attend, but want to represent Texas coffee culture anyway), all profits (small as they may be.. stupid cafepress pricing) will go towards recovering what was lost to put on the event that featured Aaron Blanco, Mike McKim, Edwin Martinez, Ruta Maya Coffeehouse, David Latourell, and Yours Truly showcasing the LM GB/5, Clover 1S, a seed-to-cup presentation, coffee cupping, basic espresso extraction, and milk frothing in San Antonio on November 11th.

Aaron did everything he could when organizing this to make it a success, including spending money out of pocket, “for the cause” of promoting the development of a coffee community in the state of Texas.

Edwin and Aaron are organizing a trip to Guatemala for a hands-on tour of the processing of coffee from the time it achieves a state of ripeness and is picked, including a cafe crawl, lodging on the farm at Finca Vista Hermosa, and the first International Barista Jam, which I am EXTREMELY sorry to have to miss for personal reasons.

Until next time, may your coffee be pure, and your roast be gentle.
