Moving on to new spots.

Looking to start up at a new locale. Hopefully I can get it together in a meaningful way. I am moving to a Southwestern city  at the southern end of the Albuquerque Metroplex. Actually an hour away from the edge of the Albuquerque Metroplex.  I guess I could say the Metropolitan Statistical Area or “Albuquerque MSA”.

 

Anyway I have an on-line offer to send some coffee out to a customer out west. plus one customer here in the Land of Enchantment. So Six pounds of finished beans by next week!

 

We have been here a week,  as of today starts our 8th day. I am seeking more customers local and on line. Gratitude !. I have been busy and not busy at the same time . Orders accepted . I have capacity for up to 5 lbs finished product at a time I roast.

 

Doing the Possible, the Impossible takes a bit longer.

Dear Coffee fans,

 

Had a moment of clarity that is my story not anyone else’s. I moved.

Left California for New Mexico. Maybe not the brightest idea I have had but am willing to give it a git go.

Praying to find a livable space and a work / job I can fulfill  with some pay. I have this crazy vision to open a coffee establishment here in the City of Healing. It may cost me everything, but I need to keep at it in spite of obstacles.

I left my late wife’s city behind after attempting to deal with  former family during the darkest year of my life. It has been like a divorce.

I have a spot in mind. The successful among us never give up no matter what obstacles present themselves.

I have to have an open mind.

I have to be honest, communicative and willing.

Will, with God’s help and Will , will be able to roast 5 lbs at once once my shop is set up. I am using Sonofresco brand roasters.  For more info check their website: http://www.sonofresco.com

Dear Coffee fans:

 

Tough Love is a many splendored thing.  So is coffee.  My roasting  is like a wave.  So is my tasting. I have sampled many cups of coffee along the way.  The tough love I now practice is throwing out a cup of coffee.  I do not do this well.  Some Corporate Giant talks about “Good to the Last D–p”. That phrase still hooks me..

Now what hooks you?

 

Coffee crawl NOLA

Started at MOJO Coffee corner of Race and Magazine. Garden District. (1) Went next to a coffee shop ( about a block from MOJO ) that opened too late for me to try. It was named Fat Boy’s. Tea Witch was in there somewhere as well. Kept walking east from MOJO and ended up at next stop , French Truck coffee (2) . Great coffee quick serve atmosphere, much brighter interior.  MOJO had a “Big Easy” feel to it. French Truck, a more Uptown feel. I ended up at Revelator Coffee,  The tour was about five miles in a walk. Worth every step..Revelator gave me a sweet shot of Ethiopian origin Espresso, and a sweet Nicaraguan pourover. the water back was a mineral water from Arkansas with just the right amount of fizz.
