Thanks for a great first year!

Congrats Dan! Thanks for all your hard work. Home-Barista is a wonderful resource.

Coincidentally, my son is one day older than these forums (and much cuter ). Here's the baby barista:



Happy Birthday! - John

Looks like I joined the forum about one month after they opened. May 23 will be my one year anniversary with HB, how thing have changed...

Hope someone has some cups on special, I have lots of open space on top of the two group, but the wife may kill me if I spend any more money on coffee stuff.

Yeah Dan, congrats from myself and EspressoParts. We know how much hard work has gone into this site thus far and you've dona a great job. Its been a pleasure to participate here.

Congratulations, Dan. I'm proud to be a part of your crew.

Last week, when I was in a dark unfrequented part of the basement (having my pressure regulator replaced ala HB, himself) I found a long lost jar filled with coins. Yesterday, the bank gave me nearly $350 for it. So sponsors, bring on your sale!

Birthdays are good for you.

The more you have,

The longer you live.


Congrats Dan & The H-B Community!!!!

[Wescott]

The congratulations are definitely worth another iteration. Many happy returns!

There is a library of valuable stuff on coffee here, and it would not have happened without Dan's unstinting efforts. And a very capable team of contributors at all levels. A truly remarkable forum.

Dan, I have only been on the forum for a couple of months now but have found it an incredible source of information for my newly found espresso addiction. Many thanks for all the effort you put into the forum and my wishes for many more birthdays to come.

Happy Birthday! I have not been a member long, but I am/have been a member of alot of different online forums, and this is definitely my favorite. People are helpful, not too many posts to try and read each day (my only complaint with CG), and a more 'back of the coffee shop exchanging ideas' feel to it.

Can't wait to see the sales!

Can't wait to see the sales!

Almost all the sponsors have replied back and there are some very sweet deals. I didn't want yet another 10% off coupon bonanza, so most of these offers are what I would call exceptional discounts, but only for a limited number of units. My thinking was that the regular HB membership would benefit the most, since they'd be paying attention. It will be first-come, first-served for the "sweetheart" deals (for most of the sponsors, it's all handled automatically by their ordering system; for others, your order's timestamp will determine who was first, or you'll have to call to place your order).

I'll post the final list and more details next Friday evening...
