„It has evolved out of the intensive start-up seminars that the company has been holding for the past six years at Coffee Fest shows. Vice president Scott Hinckley explains, “We want to teach people what to look for in a partner, and that this is a long-term relationship.” Dillanos also wants prospective startups to focus their own concepts, so that they can make informed and responsible supply decisions. “The relationship between supplier and customer should revolve around common values,” Hinckley says. “If you’re cause-based, for example, you should look for someone who can help you go in that direction, rather than someone who will try to impose their direction upon you.” The key here is to ask questions—of yourself as well as your supplier.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Machines and Grinders, Help Needed Espresso Equipment Selection (#)

„Excuze my ignorance but what is the "art" in serving that you refer to?  We are pretty sold on Dillanos, professional staff & quick customer support, beans good (for a Texas gal, I like the Big Sky & Dillanos orginal blend personally) hubby goes for the darker stuff.  What other roasters do you recommend and why? I assumed that the La Marzocco was too  expensive for our start up in the Texas Hill Country.“

„I also caught a bit of the Professional Barista Techniques seminar by folks from Dillanos Coffee Roasters, but it seemed a bit basic to me. I know there's a need for the basics to be taught, but I preferred watching the Barista competition... which is what I did next.“
