Machine is in Chicago [Stop].  I am in Lake Cheddar [Stop].  I am headed south [Stop].  Making arrangements with Sir Warrior to pick up Glossy Flossy [Stop].  When can you visit and give lessons?  [Stop].

Keep your head down and watch out for lever bandits along the way.

You're making too many stops - drink less coffee before taking road trips! Drive safely.

[Warrior372]

Bring some roasted coffee you commonly use for making espresso and we can play around with it when you come to pick it up. I would pull some shots on it now, but then it would not be as shiny / clean.

I ordered 5 lbs of Red Bird Espresso and in my lever infancy, will just keep working the same coffee.  I will bring some down. I am off work for another 10 days so "let the games begin."

By all means, feel free to play with it.  Go at it, like a warrior.

It is not my machine anymore . . . . If I played with it I would probably feel compelled to take it apart and clean it again, which I really do not want to do .

Excellent on the Red Bird news. I have heard great things about it, but never have had it. I have about 3 - 4 hours so you can hone in my Cimbali Jr. grinder, I have a basic metal 49mm tamper for you and you can try to impress me and whoever else shows up! Bring a special pitcher if you do not want to use an average joe one and I will get some low temp vat pasteurized 2% milk! I expect Staylorish like latte art right off the bat. . . .
