Hi! My name is Doug, work in a cafe and love coffee. I am interested in pursuing coffee as a career whether that is roasting, or owning my own specialty shop. Step one is just to research and be around coffee as much as possible. I live in Orlando and if anyone has any opportunities for me to get involved somewhere let me know! Glad to be here

Hello "douglycett" (Doug)

Welcome!

Since you work in a cafe, you're not totally new to the world of coffee. But, there is always so much more to learn and discover. This is a great place to do some research.

We have several members who are located in Florida. It's very possible that you'll make a connection with someone located in the Orlando area.

In the mean time, I hope you'll continue to explore the Forum, and be sure to ask questions when you're ready.

Hi James! Yes, it's a wonderful business we are in. Still...... There are always snake oil sales people lurking outside every door. I'm in a "pre-opening" state and I have found this true already.

CoffeLover, I'm an entrepreneur and I spend a great deal of time marketing. But I agree with you about the danger of spamming.
