Cafelat La Pavoni Portafilter: First impressions

I'll have to find a way to get an "action shot" of mine, but it really is a beautifully made piece. The fit is perfect in my 70s brass sleeve machine using an Elektra double basket and ~6 month old gaskets from OE. Well done Paul, I certainly appreciate all your work bringing this to market for us

La Marzocco's New $4500 Linea Mini

Based on Mark's Instagram comments, it seems his scheduled post went off early and that's why his review is up before LM has it on their site

Denver Cafes

I thought Little Owl and Boxcar were great when I was there in the fall. Since visiting I've had Sweet Bloom beans which I enjoyed

Canadian Roasters: Canucks...What are you drinking?

Last year while visiting Montreal I had a great shot of "Anchored" espresso at a cafe. They also had beans for purchase, so I picked up a bag and it was equally good at home

Best Roasters in Philadelphia

I second all of this. ReAnimator is certainly my favorite out of the bunch. Passenger is also worth checking out. I have had two of their coffees before and enjoyed them

I picked up a bag of the "Finca Maputo" after seeing this thread. I am a big fan of Ceremony and wasn't aware that Andy had opened his own shop, so I was eager to try these beans. I've made cups with an AeroPress and Kalita Wave, both have been great
