I'm in for sure and i can supply the coffee for free if you want. I can also bring a grinder if needed.

Sounds good. Looks like we'll need to plan for some extra counter space...
The appeal of the Decent machine is it should be able to do anything a lever can do, but also anything else, with pretty much real-time monitoring, control, and repeatability, which is just amazing.
If it does everything that it claims it will - and I'm optimistically betting it will or I would not have maintained my purchase - it should be amazing. But bear in mind I will have the DE1, which doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the 1+

Cool, hope you guys can make it, if and when...
Headcount is hitting the 2-digit mark! At this rate, we'll have to think rental hall or church basement pretty soon.

BTW, I'll be on the move till next Tuesday (3/7) so my presence on the forum will be patchy.

Hi all,
So it looks like I need to learn to count...:roll:
I'm sure the count will change by D-day but there would be 9 of us so far. I will PM everyone and keep your emails in a list. As soon as I get more info on the ship date, I'll get back to this thread and email each one so we can work out the concrete details of the meeting.
[ I should be away most of August so I just hope we'll get the machine here before that...]

So far, that list would be:

Bunkmil (David)*
baldheadracing (Craig)*
BenCoulombe (Benoît)*
SimonPatrice (Patrice)*
Séb (Sébastien)*
BaristaBoy E61 (Steve, and mate)*

Spentpuck (Ted)

*already on the email list

Edit 2017/03/25: It may look like I'm bumping my own thread for the fun of it but I'm actually adding or modifying the list as we go. No news so far except maybe John mentioning June as the expected ship date.

Good morning Montreal based Gang,

I am not having an easy time with my new LMLM. I was wondering if anyone here knows of a professional Barista who can properly help me set up my machine.

If anyone has any recommendations / ideas... please let me know.


Thanks

Hey guys,
Sorry haven't been around in a long while. The shipping date seems to approach so we'll probably start the ball rolling this fall. No one that I know of so far with a DE1+ in MTL so we'll have to content ourselves with a DE1.

No idea what g2g is but I assume it's the machine?
Glad to see in another thread that your LMLM issues are getting solved.
