Hey brother- don't they have keyboards where you live? Im feeling needy- and want to know what your cupping recently. You're missed around here. Oh, in case you missed the front page of the pape- i didnt bring home the gold from NY. -peace gangsta.
Wow, exciting stuff! I just recently moved to Omaha, actually, and it's great here. But I miss the top notch espresso. Haven't had a good one here, yet.
we wish that was ours :D it's kaldi's. let me know when you're coming into the shop I'll try to be around, you could also stop by the roastery at 15th and south.
Hey Tom, thanks for the install and the jammin. We'll get that latte art throw down next time. Have a good New Year and if nothin else I'll see you in February. cheers
it was, indeed, a tossup... we landed on some guat, dark sidamo, and some byb... though I'm still not sure how I feel about it... really buttery, not so heavily sweet, and some sort of nutty quality to it.. we're looking for the X factor to spice it up; literally.. we want to add spice.. but we don't really want to use png... maybe we should use some of that el salvador like madcap.. that was spicy

Hey Tom, glad to have you n the gang in shop. Certainly a pleasure. As far as the cat goes, we are using bottomless ports with triple synesso baskets right now. My shop has been dosing between 20 and 22 grams depending on the shot puller. Our PID has been as low as 197.5 all the way up to 199.5 sometimes even in the same day. You really just gotta play with it it. Low 20s has been treating me well as far as times... 22-25 but I have had them work well all the way up to 28 sometimes. Let me know how it turns out for you.
Hey Tom, enjoyed our time together. I didn't tell you then, but you had me hypnotized with your effortless and precise distribution. BEAUTIFUL COFFEE CARE. Thanks for the EL SAL suggestion for my ride home. I sipped delicious nuances all the way south of Indy. Please send my compliments to the roaster. Much love bro and thanks for servin up insightfully sweet and well-cared for wedding blend shots. Hope I get to see you soon...
Thanks Tom. The biggest dilemma is the distance between you and I. I'm on Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada. Let me do some research and keep the communication open with you.
