I posted my photo collage more as a visual way of announcing "I got my Gaggia Coffee, UPS delivery service didn't kill it, so now I am up and running."
I liked the taste of the shots - the beans were fresh roasted so the crema should be thick as Tex stated - the beans were from Tree Frog Coffee roasters out of Texas. I was fortunate enough to win a pound of Galapagos Island Estate medium roasted beans. The shot I get is more mild than heavy and more balanced than super sweet or super fruity.
If I get a cell phone I will look for one with a video camera feature - I think a video of shots is more telling than a still photo - for now though, still photos are all I can create.
