Okay, I’m getting the hang of this, I think. (Still can’t make Newsgator give my posts the cute, green podcast icon, but oh well.) And it’s great to focus on such a fantastic business, owned by such good people and friends.

From the Ristretto Roasters fan blog:

From my home in London, England, I called Ristretto Roasters owner Din Johnson’s wife, Nancy Rommelmann, today in Portland, Oregon to talk about Ristretto: how it started, how Din roasts the coffee, where he sources the beans, and how great it is for him to be channelling his passion for roasting the perfect batch of coffee into a living. (Din was actually roasting the beans, which means no interruptions, not even for podcasts.) We talked for just over thirty minutes; for the coffee buffs interested in listening, all of the hardcore java-related content - including Nancy’s outrage over a Starbuck’s employee’s contention that “Ethiopian coffee is just bitter” - comes at the beginning of the conversation.
