Duncan Coffee Company: Houston, TX

I received an email today from a Mills Duncan.

It reads,

Please add my web site

And just as simple… Done!

This company has been roasting since 1918. That’s quite a long time! It’s been kept in the family ever since.

You’ll find a link to the Duncan Coffee Company under “Houston” on the Roasters tab up top.

Tuesday Evenings with Texas Coffee People, 7pm Chats

I have been surprised at the kind of information and knowledge sharing that can go on in a live chat session.  It’s amazing how much of a difference real-time communication can make in the detail and quality of shared information.

It is for these reasons, as well as an attempt to foster the Texas Coffee Community farther than on a localized level, that we have decided to organize a meeting of the minds.

Every Tuesday evening at 7:30pm(cst), the TX-Coffee.com forums chat room goes live for open discussion.

Aaron is scheduled to be present, as is Dan.  Naturally, I will be on as well.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in on the fun, or merely observe if you prefer.

Click Here to visit the chat room.  It may help to orient yourself before Tuesday.

I hope to see you there!

I was surfing Home-Barista.com earlier today and came across this entertaining video.

I got a good chuckle out of it, so I thought I’d share with the Texas Coffee Community.
