...of sorts.

I'm kind of excited. Lots of work ahead of me before it's launched.

Congratulations my friend from Lubbock!

I spent a lot of time at J&B down on Boston and at the Coffee Haus on University during my years at Tech. Good coffee town.

Good Luck.

Good Luck.

Coffee Haus went out of business a couple of years ago. It was bought, and then run straight into the ground, sadly.

J&B is still going. Its most recent owner bought the Day Break retailers as well.

Thanks.

I was in my second year of Grad school when the Coffee Haus opened. It was really nice to have somewhere within walking distance of my office. Insane cheesecake. We used to go there for coffee and cheesecake before walking over for the Carol of Lights opening.

Gents, you are making me feel homesick. I remember buying my wife flowers every Saturday morning at the flower shop on 23rd & Boston.

Good luck

Coffee's on me if you ever come back. ;)

I found out from a friend who still works at the U that my beloved old digs on 2nd and Indy were recently plowed under by the evil (Darth) MacDougall to make way for another five-story walk-up gated co-ed storage facility.

I like the "new" school, but I am glad to have been there at the end of the "old" school.

Aren't they changing the name of Lubbock to McDougalville?

Congratulations and don't forget us little people!

**thanks** · 07-15-2010, 07:08 PM

Congrats! Best of luck in your endeavors!

**netsurfr** · 07-16-2010, 02:43 AM

Congratulations! Look forward to more news and pics as you get going.

There are no such things as "little" people. Without you, people like me wouldn't be able to start a business relying on people who want to buy what we sell.

Thanks, and I won't. ;)

So, what will you be selling? Roasted beans, it seems. Will it be a cafe as well? I couldn't glean from your fledgling site or this thread exactly what coffee-related thing your business will be.

As long as your endeavor would refuse to fill an order for a Christmas Nogaccino, you're okay by me. I once sent off an office coffee order for that to the original Peet's down the street from my office as a joke, and...they actually created something as vile as the name implies.

Best wishes,
Roger

No retail. Just roasting... for now.

Why on God's green earth would I disgrace someone's work with such blasphemy as a "Christmas Nogaccino"?

You must be cranking up one of those big roasters in the back room, not what we have been discussing here for home roasting.

Hope all is going well with your new endeavor.

Not huge, but more than 1lb. at a time.

Starting small. It'll grow over time.

A bunch of green coffee will be here on Monday. Lots of boring stuff should be here soon as well.
