Thank you so much for the pics. I was on the site yesterday, but not today and look how much I missed! After seeing these pics the machine has grown on me completely and I'm really going to push for our shop to get one of these over a Synesso (after some field testing) next year when the new machine purchase talk comes around.<br />

Ahhh... The magic of it all, Joel is spot on. I have never seen espresso come to life in such a dramatic display. The flavours that can be coaxed from the bean by the slayer are epic to say the least. When we dialed into the territory of the extremely fine grind I was amazed to say the least. Lets just say that seeing tiny droplets of oil from the bean mixed in with the crema was a first for me. It went way beyond flecking, and while the extraction took a fairly long time, the flavour was…

The machine is gorgeous. I think I'd patronize the store just to see the machine regardless of shot quality. Amazing craftsmanship. Drool...
