Wow, guys! Jim, I really don't know how you found this. Do you read the food blogs of every major US city or something?
Thanks to everyone for the kind words, I really appreciate it. The author is a new friend of mine, David Buehrer, an awesome young shop owner here in Houston who's doing great things for coffee in this city. He's a relative newcomer to the specialty coffee scene, but he's passionate about quality and community/networking. He serves really fantastic coffee at his place and he's extremely approachable and loves sharing coffee and making that education a 2-way street, just the thing I look for in a great barista. It's been great to get to know him, and it was a real honor when he let me know he was writing up my place.

Yes, I'm not worthy!

And of course Nick Cho didn't fail to
mention the bit about profiling being wrong as far as the fact that my whole setup is a bastardization of Greg's excellent design. I can understand David's confusion though, I tend to just bubble over with technical information when I explain the setup to people.
