What's goin' on
We took an outing to Pacific Pie, a great customer with great Australian savory pies, right up the street from Portland Roasting. We love it there.

Monday, August 16th was the official Silk Espresso Latte Art Competition. Three skilled baristas gathered to show off their skills and compete for a ultra special tamp. Tyler, Jenn and Chelsea were the lucky baristas who each had four minutes to create their very best latte art. These girls are champs!
—The Champ: Tyler!
—Jenn, is that a rosetta I see?
—Chelsea perfected the apple!
Quality Assurance Guru and Barista Trainer Nathanael May was the official judge; he based the scoring on appearance, taste, foam consistency, and time. This was a close competition! All three girls were within only a few points of each other. Tyler took home the gold medal and will be presented with her prize, a beautiful tamp Thursday evening at a Silk Espresso event.
—Beautiful, girls!
Congratulations to all three girls, Tyler, Jenn and Chelsea—you serve up the best in Gresham!
We ventured into the equipment dungeon to see what’s happening. This is where broken things go to get fixed.
—Watch your head
We asked Raffyn Reynolds, resident fixit-guy and espresso machine demystifier (ahem, Service Manager & Equipment Technician), to give a list of some things currently under repair:
—Right. There.
Luckily, all of the equipment is in capable hands.
—Quit buggin' me, I'm busy
