Congrats on the Conti. Please put some nice pictures in the gallery thread.
Is it the one OE had for sale recently?

Yes, please post some pictures, and bring it if you can, I'd love to see a Conti Comocafe.

Did you see the Conti Empress on the OE site now? Wow, a little out of my price range, but a real stunner.

Answers to questions:

Not sure what all we should bring. I'll try to find out and post here. I assume they will have cups and such, but maybe a few extra grinders would be good. I'm bringing my Mini. I know they have at least one spare grinder, but don't know how many others.

@Yakster, they have water, but it may be tap. I don't know if they have filters, but the water they give us will probably be the same water they use. If you want specific water, ie RO, feel free to bring your own. I am sure they have towels, but again bring what you want. They do have those restaurant style bins for dishes and waste water.

@breduta, You are more than welcome to join! I'll have my Canon DSLR as well.
@mokemo, looking forward to seeing the Conti. Not sure what else to bring.

So we have a Cremina 2002, Elektra MCAL, La Peppina, Conti Comocafe.

Hopefully Jason (zin1953) is still a go with the Caravel, and hope to see Doug (fullsack) with his 67, and wayne (roastaroma) with a PV Lusso.

Going to be fun!

H-Ber DennisS is now the proud owner of the two 67s, but I'll be there with the Pavoni pre travel kit.



Portability / Traveling with espresso equipment

Wow that's some kit!

Yea!

- What's in your suitcase, sir?
- My espresso equipment, sir.

Here is pic of the conti comocafe i'm bringing to the pulldown on sunday. Looking forward to meeting everyone and hopefully learning a thing or two. Starting to be less intimidated after working with my machine last night and again today. See you Sunday!

Ok, water: there is water, but if you want specific water for your machine bring it.

The other thing is grinders. They have a Vario, and a Mazzer Mini open for use. I'll be bringing my Mini as well. A few extra grinders probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Shoot! I wish I was there. This meet is gonna be a blast.
I'm actually coming to SF on Wednesday to pick up a Pavoni. It will join the Elektra, Sama and Cappuccino Amore.
Be sure to post photos etc. Can't wait to her all about it.

I forgot about it! Argh. I went down at 7:00 but the massive LMWDP crowd had disappeared by then.
