21 April, 2010: So we’ve graduated from the one-cup-one melitta set-up that got us going. I’ve been thinking about some sort of a coffee station upgrade just as long as I’ve been planning the restaurant. Here you get 2 pictures. We’ve experienced this before. We need something new. We look everywhere. All of the existing solutions are expensive and terrible.… Read More

9 February, 2010: So what’s with these shoes I’ve been wearing? If you took the our online survey the other week you already know. But I thought I owed the rest of you an explanation.
