Arizona Coffee

* Arizona Coffee Does Not Endorse Rocket Coffee Roasters or Larry Jones *

You might have noticed that I added a tab for Jobs at the top of the navigation. It’s been sitting up there for about a month now without any content and I wasn’t even going to announce it until I could get a job board system installed. I have been eyeing a new job board system called Ekwipment which is in a private beta. I’m hoping I can license it from them for Arizona Coffee.

Yesterday Larry at Rocket Coffee Roasters sent me this email with a job opening at his soon to be opened espresso bar.

If anybody has any job openings feel free to contact me and I’ll post them here for free until I get something official in place.
