Also next week I will start PMing all who responded to this thread with directions to my place. I'm not going to post it here, I like to keep a low internet profile. If you don't receive A PM with directions by July 8th on haven't posted on this thread then please contact me through HB and I will give you directions, address info etc.

Since work is even more hectic, I will likely be on h-b.com infrequently up to planned meeting time so I will post now.
* Is the date still Saturday, July 15, 2017?
* Please include me in the headcount. I will be on lookout for the PM with address to your residence.
* I'll bring my Cremina with Gabor's piston pressure gauge, OE Pharos (this time for full masochistic comparison to Monolith conical ), comfort blend such as Paradise Roasters Classico (I do not home roast).
* already got two bottles Italian reds ( 2013 Rocca Barbera d'Alba and 2015 Rosso di Montalcino) that should pair well with Carolina BBQ pork shoulder
* 6 bottles craft beer (TBD, but likely something from 3 Floyds).

Again, thank you in advance "prairiedawg" for hosting.

Yes we are still on on July 15th. Look forward to seeing you then.

I have sent out PM's to everyone who has responded to this thread with directions to my house. I am not going to publicly publish them. If you are interested in coming but didn't receive a PM from me, please PM me and I can give you my address. There were a couple people who responded to the calendar app but not to the this thread. I did not PM those folks, so if they are planning on coming please contact me. IF everyone could RSVP as well so I can get a semi accurate head count that would be great.
Thanks again to everyone for the interest. I look forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks, John.

I received an extra large bag of Gran Miscela Carmo from Cafe Lusso today. It is my favorite coffee, I keep trying others and always come back to it. If you haven't tried it then next Saturday will be a treat.

Looking forward to see everyone this Saturday!

I am gong to bring a home roast and gelato for summer affogato:

You sold me! Wow!

How are we looking with machines and grinders? We probably need more than one of each.

I have the Profitec 700 and the Monolith conical. I have a back up super Jolly in the basement in storage. If anyone wants to bring another machine that's fine. I have a separate 20a outlet on the same wall as my Profitec wired on a separate circuit. I think Dr Mike is bringing his Cremina. Another high end grinder could be fun though.

The Cremina will take care of the lever junkies; I'll bring the K10 for extra grinding.

Just wanted to confirm what I wrote in post #31: yes, I will bring my Cremina with Gabor's pressure piston gauge & naked portafilter.
Same two wines as mentioned in that prior post#31.
And the beer I got is Metropolitan Brewery's Flywheel pilsner. I did not make it to retailer that carries Three Floyds.
