Another late night with Neil, the architect, discussing the interior...
Can't say it looked good judged by what's shown in Google Sketch but knowing Sketch's limitations, I just use the ole noggin for some good old fashion imagination.
After last couple of weeks anxiety over the toilets (still not entirely happy), it's now the airconditoners turn. As usual the best solution cost the most money upfront and the cheapest cost most to operate. The solution: no A/C, drop coffee, sell flavored ice beverages instead.
Heh.

Spro Coffee
TA-DAH...!
We are now Spro Coffee.
We are behind MY schedule, i.e. work hasn't started, and I'm getting anxiety attacks.

Roel Tan-Torres' Giraffe 2.22.07
Grinder at #7, 4 minutes on the press pot, no suger... I got a glancing whiff of something fruity but mostly earthy scents. Slurped, it was thin, acidic bitter... kinda disappointing.
With the usual 2/4 teaspoon of sugar, I smelled perfume! Body was still on the thin side. I gotta wonder... is it because of the sugar I use? Probably not, since we use different brand and grades every few weeks or so and this batch was different from a couple of weeks ago.
It's getting malty now that it's cooled a little with still a whiff of perfume...
Ah... good coffee... nice coffee...

Ignored blogging last week, I was too busy feeling sorr for myself for not getting that lease. I went out more often, just driving around, taking long ways to someplace looking for a place.
And I found not one but two places. Both have issues with parking and lack of desirable traffic but are closer to work and... CHEAPER!
We made a decision as to which site was the least problematic and, hopefully, come Monday , 2.19.07, and after a wee clarification on some issues that's been bugging me, we can close the lease.

Yesterday I had to digest some bad news... we didn't get the lease. We were 'offered' a less desirable location though I was informed before that it was already taken. Apparently I was mis-informed, it is still available though smaller and I told them to go ahead and consider our application for that space.
BUT... I doubt will get that space either. They may have a problem with our 'less-is-more' concept of an Espresso Bar (and Roastery). Only Espresso based drinks and no frau-frau powder based drinks masquerading as 'coffee' drink.
The search is on... again.
