Excited to be Here!
Written by Lee Sill on Apr 8th, 2010
The good folks at Prima Coffee asked me to introduce myself on the blog, and I said I would be happy to do so! This is my first week as the newest member of the Prima Coffee team, and I am thankful for being given this opportunity to be a part of the vision Prima has for coffee in Louisville and beyond.
Before Prima, I had the invaluable experience of working as a barista at one of the local shops in town. That experience provided me with a growing knowledge of coffee and coffee quality, and grew within me a desire to learn more and more about coffee as a culinary art and endeavor. I will always have fond memories of the relationships built with my fellow baristas who shared with me their knowledge, and to the "regulars" who became my friends.
I have been living in Louisville for nearly five years and have fallen in love with the city. I met my wife here, have made life long friends here, and have learned most of what I know about coffee and its culture through the many amazing baristas, home roasters, and aficionados around town. Thank you all!
This is only my fourth day in the office, and I am already greatly encouraged by the experience thus far. I look forward to sharing ideas and learning from everyone here, as well as with those who follow the Prima blog, contribute to the forum, and with everyone at future events around town!

We've looked long and hard for a scale that we can recommend for our avid manual brewing friends. The scale needed to have a high weight capacity, fast response time and precision calculations, and the ability to disable the auto-off feature to ensure the scale would not shut off mid-brew. The Jennings CJ4000 is the first scale we have offered that meets all of these requirements. With a 4000 gram capacity, accuracy to .5 gram, and the ability to disable the auto-off feature, the Jennings scale is the perfect companion to manual brewing.

Small, lightweight, and portable, the Skerton is the ideal hand grinder for the traveling coffee enthusiast, or the home enthusiast on a limited budget. The Skerton employs adjustable conical ceramic burrs for grinding any of the wide range of grinds employed in today’s coffee market. It can easily handle anything from fine espresso to a coarse French Press setting. The Skerton’s detachable 100 gr. glass jar is perfect for collecting the grounds, and in combination with the plastic screw-on lid (included in order) can even double as a storage unit for whole beans on those long trips. After grinding is finished, cleaning the Skerton is as easy as placing the unit in the dishwasher since the entire grinder is dishwasher safe. Whether you desire a quality, handy grinder for the road or enjoy the fine art of manual coffee preparation, the Hario Skerton is the ideal candidate. For an even more portable hand grinder from Hario, check out the Mini Mill (for a more detailed comparison of the two grinders, check out this blog post: Hario Skerton vs. Mini Mill).
