Hand (grinder) Jive - a photo essay
I stumbled across this Stoha ceramic burr manual grinder at T.J. Maxx yesterday... It got a workout this morning & performed very well for french press.

Good coffee suggestions for Vail, CO?
I don't think I've tried this place yet, but it sounds good... I'm usually more focused on the snow & grab whatever is hot. "We feature the Valley's best coffee, roasted locally and supplied by Vail Mountain Coffee & Tea Co..." {link}

Post a pic of your home espresso setup...
I'm new here, so I'd like to to say a quick hello & post a pic of my first espresso setup... A good friend recently gifted me this Francis X5 and my interest in coffee has changed for good. {image} I have already learned a lot from reading the forum. Thanks for having me!
