Just sayin' hello. I just got into this game yesterday by purchasing a Qucikmill Alexia w/optional PID and no-burn steam wand installed and a MACAP M4 Stepless grinder. These items were selected with a great deal of help provided by reviews on this site. I am a rank beginner but hope to be pulling some decent shots soon.
I drink mostly straight espresso, but my wife will have me making one milk-based drink per day. I'm looking forward to the challenge of acquiring the barista skills necessary to these tasks.
I have lots of good roasters in the area, so trying many different types of fresh beans will be high on my list of things to do once I get up to some sort of speed. I look forward to gaining insight from all of you as my journey commences.
