Wanted: Barista with several years of experience at a high level shop, with knowledge of cutting edge industry equipment and techniques, and preferably, some competition hardware.

I think I’ll spare them my application.

I’m surprised the title of the story wasn’t Intelli ‘Gents See Ya.

Sorry, that post came across as kind of a nasty comment which wasn’t the intention. I guess I just feel bad for these guys that what was probably a tough decision for them to make, is now posted in tabloid headlines for the industry to speculate on and gossip about. Mostly I love what Sprudge does and your sense of humor, but this “reporting” could be tighter.

this is news?? “Oh my, three people actually resigned from Intelli!!”let us know when they do something significant. Sorry to see Sprudge turning into gossip central for the coffee industry. It would be juicy if you can dig up some dirt on itelli and maybe why these “top” employees were un-fullfilled working there.
