My three year old likes to prep the puck for me, and my 5 year old helped me pull the lever to make a coffee on my Cremina the other day.

Just like me when I was at your place this summer

Your five year old is probably more adept than me at using a lever...

Mmm...That Le Toy Van HoneyBake toy espresso Machine would make a great gag gift for any dedicated Barista we might know <g>
Lets hope it will work out so you can join the meet up.. They are fun and informative and a safe place to indulge in our addiction

Dominico, you must have a very strong youngster. The Cremini lever is not easy to pull as I recall
Good parental training!

I have read the whole thread. Is there final date that has been determined? If date has been determined then my apologies in advance for my obtuseness

The machine was placed as such that he had a great deal of mechanical advantage

I was also there to make sure it didn't tip.

A date has not been chosen. Ultimately it is the host's choice of the date they want to host it, we are all simply offering suggestions to determine when would be able to produce a good turnout.

Thanks Domnico for the clarification. All the proposed dates that work best for most are still open for me. I will look forward to learning the final date.

Since I re-started the thread I would love to host. Let me get confirmation for Feb 25th from my boss aka my wife.
How many people would we be expecting as of today?

I'm in Oak Park, IL.

I am most likely available that date, but I'll have to confirm.
