Did you tell them that next time they have someone stop by for tubing for an espresso machine steam wand pressure checking rig to point over to the hose they showed you :) . I am sure they would have gotten a kick out of that!

No wood yet?

Big Mike stopped over for coffee.  I made him a macchiato from the Swiss Miss and Red Bird espresso.  Then he took over for a couple of Gibraltars and a latte for the Czarina.

The coffee came from the freezer.  I froze the remainder from the 5lb bag in pint Mason jars.  I couldn't discern any difference and the crema was such that Big Mike said, "Holy Crema, Batman.  This is like drinking a Guinness; smooth, bodied, textured, creamy."

OK, Snickers Stout.

Transparent freezing propaganda...  Next you will be making cold brewed coffee out of that frozen bean won't you?  ;D

You clearly have me confused with an apostle of those guys that like cold brew.  I don't even like a cup of jo when it cools off through inattentiveness.

Now you customized your Cremina so that no one else has one exactly like yours.

Well done Mr. B|Difference!

I keep getting this picture of Rodney Dangerfield in a Formula 1 Indy car.  Not sure why this is happening, but it only happens when I read this thread.
