10-15 amps@120volts = 100-150 amps@12volts. You've got a big alternator, right? It sure is gonna cut down on your gas mileage.

I moved to the mountains to hone my ninja barista craft, carrying full bags of green coffee through waist deep snow, learning to feel coffee until finally the day came where I no longer needed the machine or the coffee to know if the shot was good.

Grin.

EW, EW, EW, Teacher, I will do it!!! I even named my son after you, Christopher James Stephens.

It would look much better in the back of my truck. Hook up the generator to power the machine and Mazzer. Plenty of room for a water supply tank.

Tomorrow's cast of characters includes at least two serious and passionate home baristas, at least two self-proclaimed "noobies" and a couple coffee pros (including the current US Barista Champion).

Should yield interesting results.

Coffees to be used include:

Stumptown Hairbender
Caffe Fresco Daterra Reserve
Artigiano Espresso
Olympia Coffee Roasting Peru Pinachi

Nice, but here's my new personal favorite:

Gee wiz, you all should get a room! My shameless drooling all over the Versalab grinder Bench is a dry understatement in comparison.

Now you all close your eyes, take a deep breath, empty your brain of all thoughts, and think of Star Jones as a Playboy centerfold. There, there, we are all calm now.

What the?
Is there anyone out there who doesn't have the GS3 already?

NB: The above is a rhetorical question.
