Holla ya'll Yeah I'm a killer traditional barista, that owns and roasts the most unique and tasty java. If you are in the Seattle area check out my DARK SIDE t-blend at Seattle COffee WORKS it's on PIKE up from the Pike St market: two blocks.
Next year I want to sponsor:-) (* pay entrance$ gas...
"I hate it when my tampers get rough and I don't stand them on their base if possible. The roughness can be felt when giving coffee that final polish and sometimes the coffee sticks to the tamper. I also believe that the coffee can slide under the tamper more easily when applying pressure...
It's killing me: Perfect tamp, killer shots and I remove the portafilter to see actual WATER on top of the ground in the coffee basket. Ive over filled, tight tamped adjusted all the grind/tamp parameters and still f'n water on top of the graonds....any ideas? The creama and taste is great...
For any of those: I'm looking for a roaster; folks.
Try looking in the roasters section of this forum. or search for your location and roaster. Posting in the Coffee Beans & Espresso bean section is bascially a " Wanted to buy" post and this is not a for sale and waterd to buy section...
I've been asking customers of the would like light or dark roast, and so far; since I have two grinders loaded with each it's great. Customer love the choice. And for a drive through is unheard of, untill now :)
Have you personally shown at a coffee event aka coffee fest ect? Was/is it worth it? Did you get enough new accts to make ROI? What have your experiances been?
Thanks.

and I got the acct. Anyway If I was to raise the amt to: 9.75 oz coffee per 1.5...
I have a customer whose (PieceOfSht) 2 group C.M.A SAE 2N is dead. It has power going to the element's top two posts( where the power leads attach) the VAC=240, when I test the two bottom posts that are bridged, to the top posts: I get no voltage.
Also the relay box is distorted from heat...
You know I have timed my shot to perfection, my customers beam over the espresso, but I keep reading about " puck" evaluation. I have my machine producing about 9mbars and at @190deg. It kinda wierd, I load the portafilter, scrape off excess to have a level surface with the top edge of the...
I am passionate about the bean, I love the misc scents, the color of crema, the swirld mix of cream and java. The color of fresh dark roasted beans, glisting in the halogen light play in my thoughts, the taste of the first drink after getting the grind on, hell I just love coffee. Except the...
