When it comes to coffee, I am:
My veins are filled with espresso
About Me:
Hey, I started this thing! I've been in radio for over 25 years and just can't seem to shake the radio bug. It's a good thing podcasting came along. If you're going to podcast, it should be about something you are passionate about. A coffee show came quite naturally for me!

In addition to radio, I am a technology geek. Since radio pays squat, I had to learn another trade as well. Enter the network. Servers, switches, routers...things that require you to drink more coffee.

My coffee hobby has taken me down some incredible roads. I truly enjoy traveling and visiting cafes, have been to a coffee farm in Central America, and am constantly looking for new ways to enjoy coffee. My love of technology gadgets has rolled over into coffee as well. If there is a new way to make coffee, I want to try it.

My best friend is also the cohost of the podcast, my awesome wife Kathy. It is a joy to share every coffee experience with her and our children.

Who is Anthony?? What have you done with our dude Tony?? You play softball with the church league and catch a pop fly with your head or something?

Tony, sorry it took me so long to get back to you, we're playing only an hour away from New Orleans, so where do you think I've been most of the week? :-)
As for Nashville, that's where that Coffee trailer vid on my profile was shot. Portland brew would be my top pick right now, they have a few locations, the one where my vid was shot is @ 1921 Eastland Ave. The other popular place in town is Bongo Java, they have a few locations around town, the one around belmont university has its own unique college vibe, but I would say the roastarie cafe @ 107 S. 11th St. is probably the best for quality. They also run a dog-friendly cafe/coffeehouse called Fido, good food, interesting atmosphere, ok coffee. Next, I would highly recommend seeking out Drew Park of drewsbrews.com (he's the one I interviewed for my vid) He's one of the coolest and most sincere people I know in coffee. You can contact him through his website, and I know there are a lot of places locally that serve up his stuff. Knowing that you're a musician, I highly recommend the Family Wash, live music every night, killer food (try the shepherd's pie!), and they have a espresso machine in house serving Drew's stuff....definitely a cool place where locals hang. Also, I just heard through the grapevine that a placed called Crema just opened serving drews brews, from their website it looks like it's a really quality driven shop...that will be a stop on my itinerary next time through Nashville. Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing about the trip!

Thank you so, so much for recommending miam miam mugs. I found the perfect gift for my mom!

Thanks for the welcome, I am working my way through your podcasts, listening to Episode 6 at the moment.

Haha! Yes I can technically have decaf, but it's not recommended so I try to stay away from it. It's hard when you live in an "all caffeinated" household and the college budget doesn't include lattes. I do indulge occasionally, though. (Don't tell my Dr.!) Love the show-thanks much for your time :-)

How do you turn on this coffee maker?

Tony! Thanks for the kind words about my vid and podcast a few episodes back...I'll mention you on my next one. Also, coffee in Chattanooga...I just played there a month or so ago and updated all of my reviews in town. The best is a toss up between Greyfriar's and the Stone Cup. They both roast their own... Greyfriars: Cool vintage Elektra machine, downtown, nice vibe, drink quality varies by barista, offer french pressed coffee (if you talk to the roastmaster, tell him the circus coffee guy says hello) Stone Cup: nice deck view overlooking the river, decent drinks, less roasted coffee selection, good service. Hope that helps, I can send pics too if that helps. And as far as coffee in Ottumwa....trust me, I've been there and it's not that exciting :-) (PS-chattanooga has a unusually good aquarium for a town its size)

Dude! Great to have a new episode! Hey, read the whole story on the Green Sage shop. I was blown away by their business regimen. They even advocate bringing your own coffee mug instead of using a throw-away cup, and providing a place where folks can recycle.
