We had a great turnout! Five people came to LUX to celebrate coffee and have a good time. It worked out so well I think we’ll try to do it again. Thank you to everyone for coming! Fly on the wall: Jason shared Map Phoenix — a project to map the downtown arts scene We talked about making a map of coffee shops in Phoenix and wondered if we should list Starbucks Larry shared his knowledge about coffee roasting and answered questions about roasting coffee and storing coffee We talked about the local coffee scene and a few coffee shops in particular We thought it might be interesting to know where coffee shops get their roasted beans Larry and I agreed that LUX makes one of the best espresso shots anywhere Joey suggested the Harry Potter books and Lisa suggested reading them before watching the films Chris talked about some of the upcoming interviews on Arizona Coffee
larry I had a great time, thank you Chris! Let’s do it again soon. Happy B-Day Arizona Coffee! 0 Reply March 26, 2006
Jason I really enjoyed Larry’s discussion from the perspective of a local roaster, and the bag of house even more. Thanks for putting this together Chris – looking forward to helping produce the analog version 🙂 0 Reply March 28, 2006
Psyd As far as mapping the Starbuckses, I don’t think that its necessary. If you are going to the trouble to look at a map for specialty coffee, you probably don’t want to find the *$ anyways. If you’re looking for Starbucks, cheeze, just look around. I dunno about Phoenix, but if you look at Google Earth, searching for coffee shops in the DC area, two our of every three coffee shops are a *$! 0 Reply April 5, 2006
Chris Tingom I think that there are 116 *$ in AZ and I have about 55 – 60 coffee shops listed on Arizona Coffee. If that’s the case, I think there is a 2 to 1 ratio in AZ as well. That sure doesn’t line up with what Starbucks is saying: https://www.arizonacoffee.com/2005/starbucks-annual-report 0 Reply April 5, 2006
