Comments on: Arizona by the Numbers http://www.arizona-coffee.com/2007/arizona-by-the-numbers Great coffee comes in small doses Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:08:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0 by: Chris Tingom http://www.arizona-coffee.com/2007/arizona-by-the-numbers#comment-36116 Fri, 01 Jun 2007 14:34:31 +0000 http://www.arizona-coffee.com/2007/arizona-by-the-numbers#comment-36116 That's fascinating, Bill. I agree, my site doesn't even list kiosks, and like the pizza discovery, there are a number of small coffee vendors spread around. I think I need to work on offline marketing efforts for this site. That means biz cards and such. Thanks, Bill. That’s fascinating, Bill.

I never cease to be amazed at where I find coffee. Latest surprise was today. Driving back from Tucson, a gas station out in the desert has a coffee cart in their old service bay. Very, very cool atmosphere and vibe. No sign, either, yet the place was packed. Unfortunately, I didn't have my digital camera. They opened within the last two weeks. Terrific coffee, too. They use Dolce from Espresso Vivace up in Seattle. Latte art and everything. Around 30 people in the place on a hot, Thursday afternoon. The owner used to live on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Said his inspiration for the coffee business was Schomer and Vivace. He has a nice thing going and I hope he does very, very well. A very nice, genuine fellow.

Someone else mentioned the same to me about a year ago. I think you’re probably right. Someone else mentioned the same to me about a year ago.

Our database contains a lot more entries than that in the "coffee" category. We continue to find a lot of previously unknown (to us, anyway) Independents every week. --Bill Personally, I think you are way low on the number of independents.

I guess we'd better be respectful or else... 3.500 is the size of several battalions. I guess we’d better be respectful or else…
