Hi all,
In light of some recent comments regarding the continued usefulness of online discussion communities, I wanted to take a second to say thank you.
Thank you, Barista Exchange community, for continuing to make this a place where we can come together to ask questions, discuss (and sometimes argue) with each other, learn from each other, and grow together in our understanding. Together, we've created a…
ContinueMore than you ever wanted to know about three-way solenoids.

There have been some good discussion posts on the topic of 3-way brew solenoids lately. I just wanted to add a little explanation of 3-way valves to help people understand how they function in espresso machines and problems you may see.
First, thanks to Terry Z and the Espresso Parts guys for putting up great pics of these parts on their site. Most of the pics that follow came from there.…
ContinueOur one year anniversary

The Coffee Garden just celebrated our 1-year anniversary yesterday. Hard to believe that it has only been a year, it seems like we've been open nearly forever. Funny how anniversaries usually lead to reflection, looking back on everything that has happened.

Going up against the clown
Posted on September 15, 2008 at 6:00pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
We've been hearing the rumors for a few weeks. The shipping container was dropped in the parking lot 2 weeks ago. We knew the day was coming, and now its here - soon we go to war against the clown with the big red shoes! That's right, I have a newly renovated McCafe' 50 yards from our front door. I saw the shiny new super-auto this afternoon when I picked up my QP w/Cheese. Hoppers still empty, not a smudge or a loose ground anywhere on it. Strategically located far enough from the fry-o-lator… Continue
Our "Derby Day" tradition
Posted on May 1, 2008 at 6:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
There is a tradition at my house. On Derby Day, we eat fried chicken and drink Mint Juleps.
To be clear, I live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm not even from Louisville. Maybe its because my brother Nick is a chef there and The Derby is a pretty significant event in his world. More likely, its because it is associated with a pretty good (and rather unusual) drink.
So on Derby Day, we eat fried chicken and drink Mint Juleps.
OK... its a cliche. I'm fine with… Continue

Hi Brady,
have you tried the pullman barista tamper? i bought i myself a few months ago and i think its fantastic. i am interested in your opinion on how this compares to RB's tall classic and would also like to know which is your personal tamper of choice.
Thanks
Graeme
It's always nice when someone in a related field (equip & repair services in your case) takes the time to learn the other side of the equation ... helps them to understand the passion of coffee more I think.
