Coffee University?

Good Evening,

Went to our coffee bean roaster in Cleveland yesterday.  We wanted to learn more about coffee and what we can do to make our drinks better for our customers.  I think we learned a lot.  We were doing most things right they just needed tweaked.  I think that we just needed to know that we were doing things properly and maintain consistency - make sure that every drink is the same every time.

It made me think about having a class or two about coffee for our customers.  There are so many different coffees and roast and brewing techniques that I wonder if our customers would like to know what coffee is and how it is roasted.  I will be putting the details together and when it gets a little colder and there is absolutely nothing else to do this winter we will have a school of higher education and learn about coffee.

After the coffee lessons we drove to Downtown and found the restaurant Lola.  This is Micheal Symon's restaurant (he is an Iron Chef on Food Network).  We had a fantastic dinner.  Absolutely everything was wonderful.  We had four different entrees and every one was as good as the other.  I wish we had restaurants with that level of quality of food and service in Port Clinton.  It really gives me some goals for the coffee shop.

I see that I have a new follower.  Thanks for reading and comment when you want.  You could also give me a call when you are leaving the country!!

I have been experimenting with some new sandwiches for the coffee shop.  I am really excited about some of the flavors.  We have also started the new customer reward program at the coffee shop.  Come on in and fill out a card.  We will be able to keep you informed about specials, special events and coupons.

Remember our ELECTION NIGHT COVERAGE along with WPCR Radio. I am really excited about the evening and hope that we have a huge turn out.  FREE medium coffee with I Voted sticker.

Time to go,

John
