Jason,

Your beard is getting gray! I didn't realize you were getting that old!

Jason,

Your beard is getting gray! I didn't realize you were getting that old!   

I didn't even know he decided to grow a beard.  My, my, my.

[mp]

I thought it was a great beard. 

It makes him look like the Pharos guru.

 

[headchange4u]

I could only hope for a beard that nice.

When I grow facial hair I look like I should be hopping trains or on a street corner with tin cup filled with change and brown bag containing a bottle of Thunderbird or Mad Dog 20/20.

We still need 3 more slots filled. Anyone?

Tex has decided to take 2 slots to double his time playing with the grinder and double his chances of winning.

2 slots left.

The old double-down, hey Tex? 

Now watch, the person getting it after Tex will find the shaft modded for a motor and the bottom slot enlarged for a portafilter, and ....

Just trying to keep ol' headchange4u  from getting in trouble with his wife! I just hope it doesn't get lost when I ship it to myself?

The grind.  I blew this up from a shot over at HB.  One of the threads talks about how conicals 'shave' the bean.  I can tell it in this shot; lots of curly queues.  Very interesting.

Pharos 1.1

Funnel mod.  I swear he is going to get that beard caught in the grinding mechanism some day.  Listen for Barb's exasperation when he unnecessarily takes the plastic hammer to the grinder.  All married folks can relate to the schtick.

With the espresso grind, Doug uses the grinds to pull it on a one-group San Marco, the other lever that Warrior is restoring and powder coating.

I'm hoping to get a ship notification any day. I will check with OE today to see if they might have an ETA. I am still accepting people for the the traveling road show. Once the unit ships, sign ups will be closed.

I went to message OE this morning and guess what was waiting in my inbox:

Hello, I just wanted to let you know we have a delay in shipment of your Pharos hand grinder.  The new inner funnel, and the axle are taking a bit longer than expected to arrive, but we should have them by the end of the month, and ship very shortly there after (it will take us a couple of days to assemble).  The other parts are all here, and ready to go, as soon as we receive the rest!
 
We're sorry for the delay, and know you've been waiting so we'll get your grinder put together, and sent out as quick as we can.  We feel the addition of the inner funnel will be well worth the wait.
 
Thanks again,
Barb & Doug Garrott
Orphan Espresso

I'll wait for the funnel mod.
