Actually I have an Alex made by Izzo. Its directly plumbed, horizontal boiler, heat exchanger with the E61 group head, used in commercial machines. Manometers for group head and steam wand pressure. I get excellent performance on the extraction. Steaming to get that microfoam just takes more time than on a commercial machine.

Hey Jon,

Saw your conversation with Jessica about wanting to open a coffee shop in Rockford. Check out our web-site @www.uppermidwestgourmet.net. I believe I can help you with your dream. Get back to me if you see anything of interest on the site. Don't drink bad coffee!!!!!!!!

Hey Jon, I bought this shirt at a small store in P-town, but searched the web and found it online at http://www.threadless.com/submission/82249/Infinity_MPG. Noticed you lived in Colorado, I lived in both Denver and Boulder for about 4 years. Really liked it but glad to be back in the Northwest.

Jon, I did go to SCAA 2007 in Long Beach and since it was my first trade show, I was, well, overwhelmed by it all. I had to sort through lots of collateral in the weeks to follow. Its a great introduction to the vastness of this business as well as seeing a lot of really great people and watching the competitions.

I also did go to Coffee Fest here in Seattle (I moved here in June from AZ) and it was, imho, a subset of SCAA. I personally wouldn't travel for it, but would definitely attend if it was close to me, as it is. I think you can get something out of each show - depends on what your goal is. There should definitely be a home barista-type show with educational forums for the public. Would help both the home experience AND the coffee shop experience. Everyone might start ordering straight shots, which would be a great thing because the shops that focus on excellence would stand out.

Jon, thanks for the encouraging comments. So I take it you are a coffee enthusiast in your home as well. Would love to hear about your set-up. As for me, I have a Izzo Alex and a Mazzer Mini and use Borogove Coffee and am finally happy with the results. - kd
