CoffeeGeek - SCAA Boston Day Two, Baybee!
„I had to get to the Barista championships, but I sat around for a bit, and learned that some of the things I heard about relationship coffee can be overcome. It's a real challenge for small roasteries to establish direct relationships at times because of the substantial risk involved. For example, you usually prepay a fair amount, sight unseen for the coffee, and then wait and hope it's going to be top notch. Discussion focused on how to overcome some of those risks, and I wish more of the micro-roaster owners I've spoken to in the past could have attended this - who knows - it could make a huge difference in giving farmers a living wage.“
