Hello All,

As you can tell I am a newbie here.  Luckily when I looked up Kopi Luak on Google and one of the links brought me here to my delight.  (Still no luck in purchasing any... any suggestions?)  

Anyhow what I was wondering is about the experience factor on this site.  I wonder where I might rank here.  What are the defining qualities of a "professional"?

Thanks,
javatattoo

I don't think there is a codified definition on the site, so I suppose you can go by the dictionary definition. In other words, if you work in the "coffee industry" that I guess you're a professional.

I think that it boils down to: if you're paid to do it, you're a pro.  Note: professional does _not_ equal expert.
