intro

okay okay
since everyone else is doing their intros....

i'm chris. i used to be a professional barista. i used to be a barista trainer. i used to be a coffee bar manager. i used to be a general manager. now i think about coffee a lot while i look for a job.

i love espresso. but i'm not a geek. talking about PID controls and the like is a required part of the job - but i'd far rather compare tasting notes on single origin espressos.
i love coffee. but i'm not a roaster. i know enough to understand roast profiles and the like - but i'd far rather be cupping 5 different harvest days of El Salvador Las Nubitas.

i love talking about coffee. i love thinking about coffee. i love writing about coffee.
Nick calls me an evangelist. i guess these are my theses.

my favorite colour is yellow.
my favorite food is bacon.
my favorite vacation is Barbizon.
i like sunsets on the north shore of Kauai, good Moscato d'Asti, post-structuralist critical theory and sleeping.
