I would be interested to know if some of the same tactics were used on my friend. Can I get more information?

But, I know of him more through one of his past relationships, someone of the highest quality of character. While no one questions Mark's good intentions with regard to Javaco it is important to understand that intentions don't count for much. Sadly I have to concur that Mark should not be trusted. He bilked a close friend of mine out of tens of thousands of dollars through what appears to be deceit, lies and immoral acts. I have met Mark and he is indeed an intelligent and charming person.

We instantly loved it and have been buying it for our own company. I no longer buy other brands for our personal taste. Good coffee.

I am glad Asad cleared his issues / corrections and I will tell you that Mark does not know that I am writing this. I have known him for over 10 years, since befere he and I were in graduate school. He is one of the nicest and hardest working guys I know. Not everyone is perfect, but he is one guy who has a good heart and tries to do the right thing. He has worked for me for over 3 years and there has never been a time I would not have had him working in my organization. I myself invested money into Java co and lost a few thousand dollars. But like most investments, sometimes they work well and sometimes they do not. I will tell you that he has advised me on my portfolio ( the guy is a market guru), and I am richer today, based on his rec's. So, any loss I had on java co, I made up for in spades. I think it pains him to see these things being said. If you were to ask him, he would say, "Well, here is the deal. If you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything." He is the master of the taking of the high road. I expect he will be successful in whatever he does and trust me as I say, this includes his working with our clients. I am hopeful this puts an end to the negative blogs and life moves on. He tried to make a business work, he provided over 100 jobs and lost several hundred thousand dollars. I expect that one day he will rise up and again. I know I will be there to watch. Suresh Managee, CEO, DAS Equity Partners I want close ranks on the negative blogs that were posted.

Mark did contacted me himself and was kind enough to brought papers to my work. Apparantely few personal issues delayed this transaction but I have to say he did come through as promissed.

He sold me a car in MN at beginning of Nov., I paid in full at the time but Mark asked for couple of days for title transfer. To this day vehicle title hasn’t been produced or transferred in my name and I am still chasing him around. Needless to day Mark hasn’t replied to any of my emails, letters or voice messages. So be very cautious while dealing with Mark A. Walker… I am not sure the truth to Ed Thomas’s claim but Mark’s reputation with me is any thing but honorable.

I know Mark very well and he made an effort to make the business grow and be prosporus. He lost several thousand dollars of his own money and savings. It is too bad that anyone would attempt to trample on the effort with negetive comments. Java Co was a business venture that did not go well.

He has judgments against him for unpaid debts recorded in both California and Arizona. He has skipped town and not kept promises to pay his debts. I would be very careful of doing any business with him. Mark Walker is not a reputable person. He has judgments against him for unpaid debts recorded in both California and Arizona.

The coffee is cheap and worth drinking. The atmosphere is decent (though empty) and I can't want until I can get some wine. I am actually sitting with a mocha from JavaCo right now.

As for the coffee - numerous times a day we are told our coffee is better than our closest competitor (Starbucks). It is all a matter of taste however, and you will have to try it for yourself.
