I thought the same thing! His reasoning was off base (paraphrased "It's difficult to maintain the proper brew pressure." Huh?). That was only seconds before he spoke glowingly of the super-auto. :?

I thought his shot pulling was a bit lack luster. I think most of us would have dumped his shots in the sink.

Well, he did grimace when he downed that espresso.

He did not only grimace, but shook his head. It looked more like someone stuck him with a cattle prod, and yes I know what being stuck with a prod feels like. It is kind of like he acted after dropping down that 1oz cremaless shot.
