COFFEE WARS: Gorilla Coffee Employees Fighting the Fight in Other States Now!?

What the fuck this *even* means, I can barely comprehend but from what I can gather, here's the scoop:

  • There was a conference last week called The Specialty Coffee of America Exposition in Anaheim, CA (SCAA).

  • Some chick named Jaime Vandura from Coffea Cultura was conducting "private cuppings" (don't ask) and available for chatting at their booth at said event.

  • All of this information was publicly posted on their site.

Then, the chick leaves this comment on the site on 4/18 at 4:34am:

"I have left Anaheim already, my apologies. There were some confrontations with ex-Gorilla Coffee baristas who seemed to be looking for new conflicts. I thought it was better to depart and deal with it later. -J"

Then some other dude named Matthew Hill left the following comment on 4/18 at a more reasonable 10:24pm:

"Jaime – Sorry I missed you. Yes, the Gorilla thing is out of control. At least one of them was at our booth and very hostile – said decaf espresso is not possible..."

DAYM!?

WTF people??

Ok, so again, I have zero clue what all this actually means, but I'm slightly confused by reports of ex-Gorilla employees who now seem to be looking to take their Battle Royale national?

Anyone have scoop?
