The GS/3 dramatically resets the gold standard for performance among all espresso machines. Its performance meets and surpasses the finest high volume machines on the market today. In a tiny footprint, with water reservoir or plumb-in options, GS/3 suits high-end home use and has sufficient steam power and performance for many commercial applications including restaurants, catering, and professional offices.

Aaron Meza of Paradise Roasters wrote:The winner will work with Paradise Roasters in creating an espresso blend designed to the winner's specifications. This first-hand look at what it takes to create an espresso blend includes one 12 oz. "first draft" bag of the custom espresso, one 12 oz. "second draft" bag of the custom espresso, and six 12 oz. "final" bags of the custom espresso.

The process will be recorded in a thread on Home-Barista. Once completed, the custom espresso will be offered for sale on http://www.paradiseroasters.com for everyone to try. Of course, the winner also receives 15% off the custom blend throughout its production run.

• MVPs may post every 2 hours instead of the 4 hours between entries in the previous contest.
• The goal has changed: Whichever MVP has the highest number at the bottom of their entry wins. The range is from 1 to 500.
• IMPORTANT: Posting an entry deletes the MVP's previous entry. Thus each MVP has one and only one entry in play. They must decide before posting a new entry if they wish to "stay pat" with their current number or play again hoping for a higher one.
• This thread will be open for new entries until Sunday, December 21, 2008 at 6:00PM EST.

At the turn of the century Kentucky born Robert Lamastus started an Arabica coffee plantation on a farm located at around 5,600 ft (1 700 m) above sea level in the skirts of the Baru Volcano in Boquete, Panama. At the time Robert Lamastus processed and exported what is still today considered as one of the highest quality coffees in the world. Now, two generations later, the tradition continues.

All of our customers have found our support and guidance an invaluable tool in either opening their coffee houses, or helping them improve their existing location.

1922 Mocha & Java Blend: Full-bodied, savory, and deep, 1922 Mocha & Java blend balances notes of dried fruit, deep chocolate, spice, and the overwhelming flavor of coffee. The mother of all blends, perhaps the quintessential coffee experience.
