^^^ Is a good offer. Pulling on his GB5 isn’t gonna hurt the practice any. My buddy homeroasts, on a Behmor 1600. Micheal and Marty could probably come up with a competition roast for you, so chat them up about supporting you for a USBC run! I’ll be happy to donate the use of my spare Mazzer Major so you can put small doses of whatever you need to in it and not interrupt the usual flow at the Luce. Lemme know when you decide to get the cart going, and what you’re going to need. I have some parts and pieces of kit that I’m not using, and you can spend the money you save on the machine. Oh, you’ll figure out a way to repay me, I’m sure ; >
Get thee to Luce and play. We need a Tucsonan to take the WBC this year!

Jason obviously makes the BEST coffee & he is sooooo cute. Barista #1 in my book already. I can’t wait until I know what shop he works at or owns… I’ll be there w/ big shiny bells on waiting to get my hands one of those blood-orange coffee drinks - YUMMMMMMY!!!

Hey, let me know if there is anything we Tucsonans can do to help you on your way. Like, lend you a Major, turn you on to a buddy who’ll roast a blend of your design for you, let you play on his commercial machine, give you feedback on your espresso pulls ; >, whatever.
Great job representing the ‘hood! BTW, when you gonna take up one of the local shops and turn it into your legacy?

Jason,
If you need a place to practice you can come up to Goodyear and we’ll work with you. Also, if you are ever interested in a job in the “coffee industry”…we’re always looking for good baristas.

Man - that is really cool!! It gives me hope that someday I’ll be able to participate in an event like this without being employed ‘in the industry’. Way to go!!!
