Andy Ciordia (pronounced See-Or-D-Ah), I'll be volunteering Friday/Espresso labs & Sunday/in depth cupping, otherwise I'll probably be taking some classes, hunting for familiar faces and like minded coffenauts. Since I have scheduling conflicts with the Espressofest I'm sending my business partner/friend Jeff Hoffman and my wife Robin as ambassadors hehe. And as a local feel free to pester with questions, I'll do my best to not get you lost (heheh!)

If you see me, don't be shy, come on over its a goal to meet as many people as I can.


This morning's fresh cup! Tis the season!

Hello im Myron Wessinger. New kid on the block...(50 yr old kid) just purchased Quick Mill Vetrano and a Macap M4 grinder....Rosie and I have 2 kids, 4 dogs for a total of 6 kids. Unfortunately I havent had the time to set up the espresso machine. I was reading this forum before the purchase and read it daily to learn as much as possible. Looking forward to meeting those I have learned a lot from. My memory of espresso is basicaally from my Navy days visiting Naples and Taranto Italy, Barcelona Spain....in those countries espresso is consumed like we consume soft drinks. Sorry I dont have a photo, no scanner or digital camera...still old school about some things. Looking forward to meeting everyone.....Myron

I'm Blayne Olsen. I live in Monroe and work in Charlotte at the Levine Museum of the New South. I'm going to espressofest with a mission. My wife says I get a Brewtus for next Christmas. Now I need to learn all I can from Abe and try to find someone with a compelling reason to buy something different other than to save money. I'd post a picture but I have a low tolerance for learning anything that I will only use once in my life. I tried and failed but can email it to some kind soul if anyone wants to be nice to me and post it for me.

I haven't yet passed my first anniversary as a home barista but I'm fast making up for lost time. Attending SCAA 2006 is a leap in that direction. I've spent the past 11 months getting lost in an intense monogamous relationship with one grinder, one machine and one coffee. I'm looking to find new love interests on the Charlotte Conference Room Floor. I've a couple centerfold layouts of the GS3 and Synesso and would pinch myself to meet them. Also would like to perfume myself with a widening array of espresso blend. Its not that I wouldn't continue to give my most loving eye to my current gear, but you know, variety, it's a guy thing. See you all there. Tim Gartland

I am registered for my first SCAA conference. I hope I made the cut for the Espresso Fest. I had a blast at the last Espresso Fest in Durham. Looking forward to meeting old and new friends.

I'm always the one running around with the camera. I avoid in front of it as much as possible. I'll keep searching and maybe I'll find a picture. It's good to know though that I won't be the lone lady.........again!

T minus 7 days...

See you there...

[Milton]

This will be third SCAA convention. I am training with a local roaster. Great experience. The picture below is at a large coffee estate in Brazil. I am standing in front of a very large antique green coffee sorting machine that not only sorts, but it will fill several coffee bags of each size bean. This is only the front of the machine. It is really huge Looking forward to next week.

I tend show up to these things rather animated.

Your avatar is great, but I remember you're hair being more "spikey" than shown below:


Terry sez, "So you want to go bottomless?"

like this from your June 2005 newsletter:


"Here is a man that knows espresso machines inside and out,
and can compete with some of the best around when it comes to using them."

Maybe we'll see you during EspressoFest? I'm still looking for a latte art instructor.

[KittJ]

This is a mug shot of KittJ. Unfortunately, I seem to look like that. See you at the show!

[lennoncs]

Hi all,
Photos of me are far and few between (for good reason)

This is me during a 34Hr marathon robot tuning session this weekend in a paint shop. You can see the robot thru the window.
Any hope of recovery by caffeine is long gone at this point.
See you all in Charlotte.

Cheers,
Sean

Well, I checkout the home-barista site any chance I get. Unfortunately, I dont have a computer so that
doesnt happen often. But I did buy a Vetrano a few months ago and have been in love since. This will be
my first conference or fest of any kind and look forward to it thoroughly.
