A Good Coffee Omen…I Hope

We went to pick up the afterburner the other day and brought it over Snoqualmie Pass in a friend’s truck. We also palletized the roasting machine itself, and it might get here as soon as this afternoon. I hope so; we’ve got a ton of work ahead of us but I’m looking forward to all of it.

While the machine was being crated , we learned some interesting lore about it: it turns out that this San Franciscan was Cafe Vita’s first roasting machine, as well as being the same machine that launched Caffe Fiore and Pioneer Coffee Company. (Pioneer is who we, in turn, purchased it from.)

So this 12k San Franciscan has launched three successful Seattle coffee roasteries…let’s hope it can launch a fourth, eh?

Here is hoping the machine is indeed good luck. I was sitting in a Dunn Brothers coffee here in Minneapolis a couple of nights ago and they had an SF-25B they use on-site. It made me think of you and your start up.
