Milestone birthday for a local coffee company New England coffee just turned a hundred and don't be surprised if one of its best workers hits the century mark Two he's 90% of the way there and I found slowing down is definitely not his cup of tea Roasting Cooling and packaging beans There's a lot of people working hard at New England coffee and Maldon, but we found the boss Is one long Coffee break. Oh, I'm only 90 Joking about his age and sipping coffee. You might think it would make 90 year old Steven Callionitis Unproductive, but he is the straw that stirs this company's coffee a drink by the way he didn't love growing up I preferred milk to coffee. He started liking coffee in the Navy and when he got out in 1946 He took over for the founder of New England coffee his dad My father said Steve you got to come to work because I'm not well And you got to replace me seven decades later. His job now is quality control Consistency is key he and two co-workers are in charge of something called cupping the coffee Whereas Callionitis calls it sip and spit They're making sure the beans that come in meet their standards for Bruna Iliasi Every day at this table is something she'd Callionitis and especially being trained by him He's my mentor so not only in coffee, but in life as well after working full-time for 70 years Sometimes 60 hours a week recently. Mr. Callionitis decided to cut his hours back Still works here Monday through Friday, but only about 20 hours a week as for retirement Well, let's just say there's nothing brewing there. Do you ever think you'll retire? I don't know. I haven't decided yet When are you gonna decide when I keep the bucket I think There's no bucket here Who has to clean the spittoon I? Used to do it just a 90 year old man still working still teaching still enjoying big gulps of life While taking tiny little sips of coffee Always for free that's the way to go. Well, I think I earned He earned all the free cup of coffee that he wants the cupping by the way that we showed you it almost appears ceremonial But it's not about 20% of the time Mr. Callionitis finds an imperfection of bean that they ordered is not up to his standards and when that happens He turns away the shipment, which is 42,000 pounds of coffee So those little sips they look cute and They're important, but what a palette he has and what a passion he has for a job He's been doing a very long time They didn't have the little signs on the coffee beans when he was tasting them and he said this is a col Wow. All right gives me a whole new appreciation. He is on some great story
