So, once again to Shaun, Larry, John and others for your guidance and help. I did fall in love with Ms. Lusso and I'm ready to fall in love again with my next girl friend!   ;D

Certainly don't tell your wife about the new Italian Miss.

This morning I pulled a straight shot of 4.5 day post-roast Ethiopia Sidama Deri Kochoha.

Good?

Good enough to pull another three shots in small milks.

Glad I bought 30lbs.

I take it she is not jealous of the love you have for the Italian Miss?

John,

I owe you "big time!" I'll cover the $5 for you! It turned out nice and filed very easy to a smooth finish. Two more days for the Italian beauty to find her new home!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Ms. Lusso made it here two hours ago in PERFECT CONDITION!!!!!! Double boxed with two inches of packing inbetween the boxes. Packed very well by Veneli's and the outside box was intact!

I've pulled two wonderful shots with great steamed milk right off the bat! The pressure is actually two bars higher than the other machine? No complaints due to wonderful results! I'm glad I had all that practice on the other machine before my new luv came today!

Heaven in East Central OHIO! Now for some Elida and Amaro Gayo..... can't wait!  BTW, Veneli's sent a # of Classic Cremosa with the machine. We'll try that in the A.M.  ;D

Very happy to hear that your new Italian mistress arrived safe and sound.

May you have many, many years of enjoyment.

Ringo offered to help with the pictures and posting. I'm off to a great neice's graduation party so the first of the week we'll try and get some pics posted. The Latte art is even getting better. Ms. Lusso does steam nicely! Getting that correct steaming is a key to the art!

Only one bad shot this morning. It was the first one and it's not always the rule but I must admit that the first shot of the morning seems to be the one's that going to not meet standards if I'm going to pull a bad one. Machine warming up I'm sure! Couldn't be the operator!!  ;)

Tell you what.  I think you and I are the latte art chumps.  What if we both practice until July 30.  Then, we will forward ONE PICTURE to Ringo (only one picture, per entrant).  Ringo will post them in a "blind poll."  Loser donates $50 to Grounds for Health.

Rules:
1.  Patti can't pour it for you.
2.  You have to lose your Buckeye excuses.
3.  You can't have someone hold your hand.
4.  No whining.
5.  No "recounts." 
<grins>

Work for you?

Have Patti show you how to do the first shot.  Then you can try the 2nd...

We might need proof that it's B|latte' made it.  Maybe the Czarina should take the photo of Dave the sheep with his pour poor!
