only 7 spaces left!

for those of you following the massive june 28-30 nyc scaa consumer membership event, i'm here to remind you that 13 people have now confirmed. only 7 spaces left! don't get left out of this tremendous event! email me to reserve, please.

the entire idea of scaa consumer membership is to share our coffee passion and appreciation, to learn more about coffee, and to support incredible quality coffee roasters and retailers, like the berres brothers.

read this lovely piece about their commitment to high-quality specialty coffee in wisconsin. you go, peter and jeff! we here at bccy support ya 110%.

there should be a shop like berres in every city, town, and hamlet. there should be better coffee for all!

and while we're at, here's an ode to small-town coffee culture -- the old-fashioned local coffeeshop, with that bottomless cup of black joe. the coffee wasn't always that great, but the company is. i love that culture, and i just wish the owners would improve the coffee a tad. . .

and finally on the chocolate front: well-known moonstruck chocolates intends to expand a la starbucks. i won't object, even tho' i prefer true artisanal chocolates. the more better chocolate -- well, the more better chocolate, that's what i say. read about it here (log your own self in: bccy1, password).
