Barista Magazine Honors

A friend of mine in the industry, Joe Marocco, made it into our beloved Barista Magazine for the December/January issue. He works extremely hard perfecting his craft of roasting, but still reserves enough time and energy to become one of the best baristas in the U.S. I respect his work and desire to share his knowledge with others who are interested, people like me. I visited Kaldi's Roaster in St. Louis a few months ago and he gave me the tour, plus an entire day of lessons on roasting how-to. I've posted a few times on this in the past, so for you who want more info can look there. Check the link above to check out his face time in the iMag, page 54. Congrats Joe for the long-due shout out.
