I'd love to jump in too if there is space. I love coffee, especially with a great cigar.

Also money could be saved on shipping because Robert and I could just get one package.

If not that's cool too, either way I'm excited to see the results.

Cheers

Mmm ok, curiosity got the best of me, put me in of there is a spot left

 

[mdwest]

Ill give apaniagua, tobacco giant, and/or inspector gadget a couple of days to see this thread (and send them a PM).. since the remaining 2 slots are currently being held for the first two of them to raise their hand...

If for some reason none of them want the remaining slots.. we'll add in vando and diamondback and close out the list...

really looking forward to this... round 1 was a lot of fun... round 2 should be even better!

(damn you kev! like I really needed another hobby/vice/time consumer! )....

 

[mdwest]

Ok.. had a chance to catch up with some folks.. the two slots are still open.. so we're filling them with Vando and diamondback... welcome to "the list"

Should have beans back in the US in about 2 1/2 weeks.. and beans on your doorstep 1-2 weeks after that..

This should be fun! (again)

Guys, after roasting try brewing with an Aeropress. About $28, I've become a big fan. Makes an exceptional long black, but will not make espresso. Enjoy, regardless.

Yep, I plan on having one by the time the beans land at my doorstep. Can't let javaman have all the fancy gear :smile:

What a deal!! I could save $2660 if I buy it right now from the website. Do they have working mans model? You know, the $50 Krups special?

Haha. I've actually had a shot pulled on one of those & I'll tell ya, it was the best damn shot of espresso that I've EVER had. $11,000 good? Maybe not, but it was a once in a lifetime type of thing. If I had the money, you better believe one of those would be in my house. They were actually priced at $17,000 each when they first came out (includes custom plumbing & installation), so really, $11K is a steal!

Yeah, but who is doing the stealing? For that price it better be gold plated plumbing. It is an awfully good looking machine though. Mr. Coffee it ain't.

Like everything else in life, you get what you pay for. That's really for a commercial establishment pulling hundreds of shots per day. But if you do the math, even if you average, say, 3 shots a day for personal consumption, It'd pay for itself (versus a $4.00/per drink Starbucks concoction) in about 2.5 years. It'd be the last machine you'd ever need to buy too....hey - maybe I should hit my wife up with that logic!

 

[zama80]

Hahaha! Good luck with that.

Of course, I'd need to pair it with one of these for all my drip/press brewing needs too.

Not sure what all it can do, but other than espresso and landing on the moon, that is a an awesome form design!!! Love it

If you tried to put Folgers in that thing, would it spit it back out at you and taunt you in a French accent?

Kevin, don't forget that you also roast beans so you could write this off as a business expense? (while at the same time working in the argument of how much money you save by roasting your own top quality beans)

 

[thejavaman]

Very good points....

 

[mdwest]

2nd round of beans procured!
