After the Coffee Roasters Guild mixer.

I keep ending up in close proximity to tech companies meeting. I've heard the word blockchain thrown around in entirely too many contexts where 1. the user shouldn't care and 2. it's a terrible way to implement what they're trying to do.

Was given some green coffee. Grown in Veracruz then taken to a drier part of the country for natural processing. Looking forward to roasting and tasting that.

Another #cat pic

State Department email says my new passport is on the way so I'll again be available for international gigs.

Was given a very nice cupping spoon today. Anne gave me one of these last year so now I have a matching set for skimming. Also, a Coffee Roasters Guild member pin.

Very pleased with how the classes today went. Minds were blown.

Students are at the machines. #coffee #roasting Roast Level Exploration and Profile Design

was handed a bunch of hemp milk on my way out of the party. I suppose I'll have to drink that before I leave town.

Coffeea weighed out for tomorrow's class.

Today's cat photo.

One of the manufacturers set their machine on fire while it was empty. #oops No big deal. Well contained.

Hanging out with the roasters.

Class coffees

Coffee #4, caffe mocha with a nice design on top immediately hidden by a lid.

Coffee #3, a very nice Colombian coffee. Probably the lightest roast of this trip to date.

Coffee #2, double espresso.

Hotel room coffee is sadness.
