Fantastic! I was eyeing that.

Cafelat booth (not confirmed)

Sorry we were unable to get a stand this year. It was "fully booked" even the end of last summer and waiting list only. Since it has been in the same location the past 3 or 4 years all the booths seem to be locked down.

Wow. I was not aware of that. Trust that your presence was missed. I was also hoping to get a chance to try out your Robot in whatever state it is at the moment. I'll just have to continue to wait, with fistful of cash ready to throw your way whenever it becomes available.

Finally got to see a La Mini up close!

Ben did you ask them about a couple things they said was sold out? Looking at the time stamp of your post I think I was standing right behind you in line. I remember them mentioning exactly a 20 min wait for a pournover to the guy in front of me. Would be a funny coincidence! Anyway, the cafe was the busiest I've ever seen it this morning. Usually very chill on a Friday morning.

No, I asked about their espresso they had.

My newest kettle purchase! Brewista artisan in iridescent

Down the road, when you have time, how about a review on that kettle.'

Spout control. Temp precision. And ultimately, long term durability. TIA.

Boston, then Portland in 2020.

Hope to see you in Boston next year, Paul!
