So what do you do when you run across a Bunn H5E water tower model 12500.0020? You know, one of those strange ones hard set for 115f water temp! (for dough proofing). What good is it in a coffee house! I mean, not even white tea wants water at 115f.

My cup at Starbucks...

I've never actually gone to Starbucks for just a cup of coffee. Back when I was a huge coffee noob (an even bigger noob than I am now) I used to go in and get the "Specialty Drinks" but this is far from the point.

What's the Best Home or Low Volume Espresso Machine??? And Grinder??

Looking at purchasing an espresso machine that will go in our youth group's small cafe in our church. Budget is around $1,000...any suggestions for something durable and reliable. Also, a nice grinder to complement? Seems like the Mazzer mini is a nice choice for low volume, quality shots. Thanks in advance!

Theory of A Coffee Snob

The title "coffee snob" is thrown around so much I decided to write a post about my theory and personality crisis.

It has taken me 7 years as MillRock CEO to evolve the MILLROCK Barista Construction to something we are proud will exceed all expectations for performance.
