No worries. (Although I've always thought an avalanche would be a nice way to go, I understand if you don't feel the same way...) Next time you'll likely get to sample our own beans!

Sweet! I like surprises. I think I told you that we're going to Brazil next week! Hopefully I'll have some sweet shots of farms etc. for you when we return.

Dave..you rock.
Thanks for the care package. That exceptional Las Termopolis got me through the trip to Brazil. Check out the Caffe Mela Blog (http://caffemela.wordpress.com) for down low on the trip to the farm.

Hey Dave, whats the Haps with you?
Will be rockin the Joint at SCAA next, then Vegas and Hawaii. All in all, not a bad few trips.
See you in Minneapolis? Or do you ever make your way up into the Kent area? If you are headed this way, we could shoot a game or two of pool and have a brew sometime.
Later,
Jeff

See You At Coffee

i think coffee... leads to community...leads to networking... leads to good things for all involved... yah?

It was great meeting you, too. We'll hopefull have the video up and going in a month. We all have three or so jobs like you, so things move a little slower with coffee video magazine. BTW, what is going on in Seattle in September? I'm intrigued.

unfortunately, i'm taking a lot of time off this summer and don't have the cash flow to fly all the way out from indiana, but hopefully i'll come out there sometime in the next year just to hang out and get spro'd up.

Dave,
I know this is cheesball, but I actually know this girl Bekah who makes bags out of used coffee sacks and gives some of the profit to social justice causes. If you're interested, her site is www.refugeebags.wordpress.com

Hey Dave,
do you guys sell tamper handles separate from pistons?... i dropped my tamper and the handle is jacked but the piston is pristine.

Chris DeMarse

how much do the laser engraved compressore handles (both tall and short) run?

May 28, 2008
Chris DeMarse

Dave,
I went to the site and clicked on the tamp handles link, but it didn't go anywhere. Is there a better way to look them up?

Jason Dominy

Things here are good. I thought about you and Banjo this past weekend. My wife and I were hanging out in the mountains of NC, and I found myself in a BBQ place listening to some good, local bluegrass, realizing how much I loved life. At least now. ;-) You ever get into the Avett Brothers?

May 30, 2008
Chris DeMarse

I checked with my wife to see what the cash flow looks like... we've been remodeling our house, so I might have to hold off for a few weeks until I can save some tip money, but I'm sure I'll have no problem ordering over phone when I do have the cash flow.

Chris DeMarse

Dave. Hope things are going well with you. Got my skull/bones tamp from you guys... it rocks. I might be coming to Coffee Fest Seattle if I can book a flight that's reasonable. We'll see what happens

Hey Dave, one of your photos depicts a small, two-sink rinsing station... is that a custom job, or does espressoparts sell it? See you at CoffeeFest. - Adrian.

the Finca 408 is some sweet magic

the team was pretty much bowing down to your whole crew and heaping praise a heavy! thanks for hosting em!

Sep 18, 2008
Chris DeMarse

hey man,
quick question. I dropped my skull/xbones tamp on the concrete and dented it. I noticed that the finish is more an oil than a urethane.. i was going to sand the bumps out and re-oil it, but didn't knwo what you use to condition the wood... what should i use?

any new and exciting projects in the works??

Sep 26, 2008
Dave White

Nah... not really. I mean the new website will be in the works soon. Other than that adding in the rest of the Mazzer "E" grinders and such. Michael however just ripped apart another GS2 and is cleaning and descaling boilers. I don't know if I'm jealous I don't do that or relieved that I don't do that.

Sep 26, 2008
ZekEaZoiD

all part of the process =) can't wait to see it fully restored. ...the guys had a meeting about the laser project a few days back,it'll give you some cool stuff to play with again in the near future im sure.

do you guys sell the bean auger that goes on the rotating burr for the mazzer E? Would it fit another grinder (like a compak k10 wbc)?
