Hi all. Roadman (Jon ) has volunteered to bring some munchies and would like a head count so there's enough to go around. Please RSVP again if you're coming this Saturday!

Suppose it goes without saying I'll be there!

FWIW coffee play will include in addition to my flagship Delirium Blend (of course) there will be rest ready my last lb of Panama Esmeralda Boquete Gesha, Kenya Nyeri Karatina PB (just pulled my 1st Vesuvius shots this afternoon, profile tweak take 3 a wow shot!), and released last weekend just now espresso rest ready Panama La Berlina (Bourbon varietal melange roasted light and light-medium). Wish the new washed Yirg' Koke was also espresso ready but no. I knew it was going to be good but Curtis & I got our socks knocked off Monday our first cupping first production roast, way sweet smooth and balanced with decent body for a light roasted washed Yirg' tasting of palm sugar, floral, key-lime lemon meringue and mango. I know it's going to be another killer SO 'spro. Oh yeah rested Natural Konga Yirg' available tomorrow too...

I'll bring the Prestina and the Elektra Microcasa a Leva I tested. If anyone wants I can bring a Cremina or the 1961 La Pavoni Europiccola or a v 1.0 Caravel. Post tonight or I'll choose one.

You might also bring grinder you're accustomed to working with. Or not! I'll have 2 M7Ds, 3xMajor (bringing mine from home) and 1 SJ.

Interesting fun afternoon. Four of us Gary, Jon, Laron and myself versus five espresso machines Cyncra, Vesuvius, and Gary's Conti, Cremina & (1st-Line review) Elektra. No great revelations except strange seemingly laws of physics defying results putting the Scace to the Conti and then observing same behavior other 2 levers. What behavior? I'll leave it to the lever Master Gary to post including videos he took. Suffice it to say what was observed did not translate to what would be expected in the cup!
