    Cheers.. You got quite the pic too Nye guy. You are starting to emulate the whole espresso pirate thing. I'll expect an eye patch and hat of some form soon.

    By the way we had a few ideas for you recently. Don't know if TZ mentioned them or not.

  • Ken Nye

    Terry and I have spoken a few times recently, but not sure which ideas...?

    Ken, we here in Charlotte love what you are doing at Ninth St. It truly is a model so many of us wish we could do, but can't. So, we cherish it and love it from afar. It's good to see a shop pull it off as well as you guys do. Kudos, and Viva Barista!

    If I was any better I'd be twins.

    Always admiring you and your work from afar. Any chance you'll be at the Easton Jam? I'm looking forward to connecting with east coast brethren there.

    I think adding the 24oz lattes is a good idea, I don't care what your detractors are saying!

  • David Fritzler

    Thanks for the shirt. I'll wear it proudly in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver next month.

    Did you wind up getting the Anfims? Do you know where I can see one in action out West?

    Feb 22, 2008

  • Jason Dominy

    how can i get me one of those sweet shirts???

    Feb 22, 2008

  • Ken Nye

    We only made a few, and they are gone. I will give you a shout if we screen any more.

    Feb 22, 2008

  • David Fritzler

    Will do. thanks for the espressoparts contact. Need to fix the NYC jones soon.

    Feb 24, 2008

  • David Fritzler

    How are the Anfims doing? People out West seem to dig them. Billy is keeping the Robur on the line at the Press for when the Anfim heats up. Keeping a third grinder out may be the way to go if we can fit it. I pulled a shot with the Anfim at Murky and felt great guilt when I skipped distributing and leveling and even more when it turned out really nice but that may just be my protestant upbringing.

  • Ken Nye

    Hey...
    We really dig these things...
    Too much for a post.
