Initial Observations of the Macap M4 Grinder
Design and Appearance - I worked with my wife to decide which grinder to buy. (Truthfully, I was just glad to have her on board with what seemed to her like a ridiculous amount of money to spend on grinder!)

SCAA WBC barista bar espresso cups
Hi Rob! I'm sorry I missed you at the WBC. We may have crossed paths and not even known it. I remember one of the announcers thanking ACF for providing the espresso cups for the WBC bar, but I don't remember the exact shape of them. I searched and found this link: {link} Are these the

Update from SCAA 2009 in Atlanta
OK, so here's an update from Saturday at the SCAA 2009 in Atlanta. This was the third day of the WBC, and my wife and I watched the baristas of Norway, Sweden, Poland, and Austria all perform for the judges. Each did a great job and made me want to visit their countries and cafes. Today, the
