Each manufacturer of espresso machines has their own system and are forced to use one system or another based on the technology they employ. We will be showing off our technology on the USBC stage in Austin. I look forward to meeting you some day but I will not be in Austin. I trust you will be there as you are lucky enough to have the event in your home town. Go Austin!

Hey bro, we are all safe and the shop has been one of the few places open since the storm. We sustained minimal damage and we are still on for the 27th. We should be competing on a 3 group Synesso if all goes welll, if not it will be on our E61 Legend.

Thanks man, we are all safe here at Catalina, and we feel really fortunate to have minimal damage. The shop has power, but alot of us are without electricity. Appreciate the love, hope to see ya'll soon.
Hey man, you wouldn't happen to be going to Seattle for the Coffee Fest are ya? Gotta bunch of people from H-town goin, just seein' who's makin' the trip.
Lorenzo, how the hell did you hear about a throwdown before it was even official? Yeah bro, it's on, Sat. Sept. 27th @ 8pm. It'll be good to have you down in H-town. $20 to get in, wiiner takes all.
Yeah man, Max and I are putting it together, and hoping to have it at the end of September. But definitely before the SCRBC, so everyone can hang out before the big comp. Great to hear from you, man! I would love to see you guys. I close the shop tonight with Max, so I'll see if he's decided on an official date. If I find anything out new, I'll bx ya back. Have an awesome day!
Still in Austin - still looking to work for Medici! How do I get Michael to take me seriously? I feel like I'm getting the run around.
Moving into my new place today - will definitely stop by soon! What shifts do you normally work? Let's go bicycling sometime.
forgot to mention in the email that we've been recommending you guys whenever we get the chance. i'm looking forward to the day one of our customers comes in to medici and mentions us. =)
everything is well in college station, but reeeally slow. (oh the joys of college towns.) julie came to our shop after she got back in town from austin and as always had good things to say about her visit.
i can't take all the credit for julie and the others. they were already working here when we took over ownership. the only one who really seemed passionate about coffee at the time was andrew, but after spending some time with us the others have been pretty geeked about it too. i just hired a new guy and he's determined to be the "best barista coffee station has ever seen," haha.
so even though there are some areas we need to work on, overall its a good team here that hopefully will only improve. =)
so today i had a coffee station regular come in to buy whole bean coffee. we got to talking and she said she's moving to austin in january. she expressed some disappointment in the shops she's visited so far. i started talking about medici and she said she's moving right down the street from you guys!
i really talked y'all up (all true of course!) and told her i couldn't say enough good things about medici. she was really excited by the time the conversation was over.
so as of january you will be +1 more regular, haha. =)
So the the Wu-Tang is causing trouble. We will have to meet at the Highest Temple in the land to settle this dispute. For now I know how to use my liquid swords.
