When we first got involved with J. Brooks Coffee, the first order of business was to find a roaster. We were able to locate a very lightly used Diedrich…in Montana!

Here’s the link to the photos from our San Diego trip in 2007. This was such a fun trip for us–Rach and I went for the annual Continuous Veno-Veno Hemofiltration Conference, and the place was ELEEEEEECTRIC! We took in Old Town, made a Tijuana run and rode a mechanical bull, did a weekend trip to Temecula and toured wine/olive country, and spent a lot of time out on Coronado Island at and around The Del. I stopped into a local pub and struck up a conversation with the owner, who happened to be a retired Navy Seal who served in Vietnam and wrote a book about his experiences (which I bought, he signed, and I gave to my dad for Father’s Day).
Stay classy….
