Amanda Byron
And now a brief interview with Joe's right hand lady, Amanda Byron, manager of waverly, Joe’s Director of Coffee, barista trainer, coffee educator:
Hey Amanda, you look good. now tell me, what's your background?
"well, I grew up in Seattle and I've always been obsessed with coffee. I
remember taking pictures of drinks that i made on my mom's shoddy Gaggia
espresso machine because I thought that foam on top of coffee looked so cool.
Amanda, what's your fave drink?
"I love a pair of hot ones in a glass just barely half full of ice water. i'm
obsessed with that bevvy right now."
That sounds yummy. Speaking of faves, what's your fave thing about joe?
"um, the coffee. and the fact that we make it taste real good."
Nicely put. Who are your influences?
"uh...geez...i'd have to say that Schomer, Barth, Gregg, and my fellow baristas
are my biggest coffee influences. But my daily
influences are Josh(my fiancé), Jonathan and my parents."
That's sweet.
We all wanna know, what was Martha Stewart really like?
"she was great. To this day, she and i can be sitting over brunch and laugh
about when we first met on the set. She makes fun of me because I was so
nervous and I make fun of her because she tripped over her words! just two gal
pals passing the time on a Sunday afternoon..."
