Finally, after weeks of work, the new website for The Beanery Coffee Roasters is LIVE! Take a look, please, and let me hear your comments (good, bad, and so forth). Thanks, Ellen

My daughter is off to Paris for two weeks, and I'm sending some of our coffee with her to give as gifts. Does anyone know of a great coffee shop there? How about a micro-roaster? (she may need to get her coffee ground). Ellen

For those who do coffee catering, what is your price structure, and what do you provide (brewed regular and decaf coffee, flavored coffee, pastries, etc.). How elaborate is your setup? Tablecloths? How have you gotten business- has it come to you, or have you done marketing? Thanks a bunch...

I'm looking to buy a used 2Kg roaster to get started roasting my own. If you are thinking of upgrading to a larger roaster and live in the Southeast, I would like to discuss. I will pick up. [email protected]

OK, OK, please be nice. It's a crazy question, I know. So, has anyone ever tried roasting peanuts in their coffee roaster??? :-D

Who has attended the SCAA Cafe Start-Up Workshop? Is it worth devoting a whole day to? Thanks, Ellie

Oops, don't know if my last post got posted...forgot to give it a subject :( Can anyone recommend a good bean roaster in the Georgia/Florida/Alabama area to supply 7 to 15 pounds of roasted beans at a time? Thanks, Ellie

Getting ready to come up with some ideas for floor plans in preparation for building a sit-down coffee house with a drive-thru window, to include roasting in the future. Any design ideas that have worked really well for folks? Would also like to hear from those who would have designed things...

OK, here is another "which should I do" question...for an aspiring coffee bar owner, which event would be the best use of our time and money...the Coffee Fest (probably Chicago) or the SCAA event in Seattle? We are looking at a probable opening date of mid-summer. Thanks, Ellie

Oh, you all are so helpful to those of us who are trying to get started up. THANKS! Am trying to settle on a model for a coffee shop. I can see that profits could be boosted nicely with roasting. Question: to those who do this, is it feasible to be a coffee shop AND a roaster? Is it...

Hello all, What a great forum! I am thinking about opening either a coffee bar or a drive-thru espresso business, and have gotten tons of great advice from reading the posts. I wonder if some of you would like to comment on the pros and cons of buying a pre-fab unit such as one that...
