While I'm not one to bring my own spoons to events (I'll use whatever is at the venue), for cupping in my shop I only use gift spoons. Which reminds me, I should make some time to polish the silver ones soon.
One of the nice things about so much of Typica being defined by its runtime configuration is that it's almost always possible to just send someone a text file they can drop in the right place to add features or fix bugs in the default configuration. No recompiling required.
One of the bags of coffee that arrived today had a sticker on it saying that it was for a different coffee roasting company. I don't know if I know anybody who works there now, but someone who used to work pretty high up there is the person who asked me to develop a new profile roasting class. That class ended up getting delivered pretty much unchanged by dozens of instructors around the world for about a decade.
Because of how much I spent on the new coffee from Yemen, it looks like the new Mocha Java Blend is going to be a little more expensive than anything currently in the product line, and then the new Yemen will be more than that. Setting the retail pricing for the new coffee from Yemen at $27 per pound (margin is a little lower than I'd like at that), Mocha Java Blend at $22 per pound.
More data acquisition hardware arrived today. I'll need to add some code to my software to support that (should be very easy), but this will let the software that I use at the coffee roaster get data from the prototype instrument that I can't talk about. After that prototype arrives I'll have the next challenge of figuring out how to most usefully present the new data series which may or may not involve a little more new code.
