Comments on: Gillies Coffee… now with more bits! http://www.bloggle.com/2004/08/gillies-coffee-now-with-more-bits/ A decade of coffee, commentary & inscrutable icons.

Why would I try again, we already know that I don't 'appreciate' in the right way? Call me insulted and pissed-off? Yes. Shame is that Don probably doesn't even know this happened even though he ought to claim responsibility.<br />Love the history but sorry, did not translate into the cup.

I guess Don may have my best interests at heart and history to back him up but I’m afraid it did not translate into the cup from that bag. Why would I try again, we already know that I don’t ‘appreciate’ in the right way? Call me insulted and pissed-off? Yes. Shame is that Don probably doesn’t even know this happened even though he ought to claim responsibility.
Love the history but sorry, did not translate into the cup.

I’m going through pains of designing for coffee companies too; this one for a local machine retailer in Saskatoon… it needs a little refining, but it’s on its way: http://www.espressomacchina.ca
