    GREAT Photos, Dog. It looks as tho you need an engineering degree to operate that roaster (or maybe a pilot's license). Does it have a bell and a whistle

    So glad to see things moving, I'm very excited to be able to stop on way to work for some 'GOOD' coffee.

    I don't have a front view handy but thanks to Willis I do have this side view. It's out near the DMV and used to be the Bardane Country Market. You can see it from the bypass. We'll be doing some cosmetic and branding stuff on the outside over time but hope to be open in 4-6 weeks.

    It's a complicated piece of machinery for sure. The engineering is really amazing.

    Looks good, are you going to make (or do you) make K-Cups?

    Hm. Taking down shelf units already?

    I too have been wondering about the K-cups, especially now that the patent is expiring on them in a couple weeks. Currently it's a fairly messy process to brew my Black Dog in the Keurig.

    The shelf units were left there from the when it was a market. He's repurposing some of them in another area and others he's not using, so he's taking them down and out of his way.

    Don't know about the K-cups. Brian will have to answer that one.
