we do break about one glass one a week and at $8 they're starting to add up. the stainless ones make good drip?

well, stumptown helped me with this. between 14-16 grams of coffee ground at a fine filter setting.

8 or 12 oz water poured slowly over them, keeping all the grounds watered.

Well, lord willing and the crick don't rise, we'll be here when you come back. Cheers!

Hey,
just finished my first week with the new spro form 2%. the most noticeable difference im seeing is that the new stuff has a really smooth crema and very rich looking. I noticed with discovery it use to get verry bubbly and i had a hard time trying to reduce that. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Cheers!

That's a great tour!! Unfortunately it was my day off!! The only one I get this week and you manage to hit it!! Lol. Anyway, the 2% I only got in on Friday and it had been roasted Thursday so it was still REALLY fresh but I had to pull some shots nonetheless. I'll be getting a better handle on it on Monday and start playing around with the details. So far seems great though. There was hints of butter and caramel and I also thought it to be rather fruity and lively... though that was probably just from being so fresh.

We used craigs and resumes started coming in same day.

My grinder came back with brand new burrs the day after you visited. What a difference. You have to come back in and try a shot now!!

No. I insist - YOU the man!
Looking fwd to our next outing to Point No Point.

Dave,
I still haven't made it out your way but it's on my list. I stopped at Drumroaster the other day and met Geir face to face. Did you get a chance to try the beans? I have tweaked it a bit since that blend. (less acidic)
As for your hiring problems have you tried posting jobs on Craigslist its free and I got ten times the response over an expensive TC add.
Cheers,
Ben

I close at 4:30 but I'm usually out of there by around 3.

I actually don't know him. I just introduced myself.
If you are in vic swing by the shop and I'll give you some beans to try. If not I'll bring em up to you when I visit. What are the chances you're open on sundays?

Well, when we took over the cafe we started with a single group la cimballi jr. pour over, a Bunn grocery style grinder, and one of those little plastic tampers that come with the machine. The previous owner was roasting his espresso late into 2nd crack... The list goes on and on.
I have since purchased a new espresso machine (nothing fancy but a big step up none the less,) a proper espresso grinder, a nice RB tamper and
improved the roast and blend of the coffee.

Yes,
I am blending and roasting in house.

David, how are things going man? I may be coming up to Vancouver later this month and will try to make it out to vic as well.

Have you been in to
parsonage in the last 13 mos.? That's when my wife and I took over. We're trying to improve the espresso program step by step.
