    thanks for the add, home-slice. Haven't seen you in Seattle lately... but Calgary is a bit of haul away from here...

    Stop in Trabant again next time you're in town.

    uhh, i guess so. it's spitting out espresso that tastes good, so you could say that it's dialed in. i would brew at any temp, pressure, grind, dose or roast if it tasted good. nothing is holy.

    You are completed person, you know the subject, you write scripts in two cities… perhaps you are the person who can give solutions in coffee problems.
    I will bother you in the future.
    Nice to meet you.
