that's not a Floyd cup...

it's king crimson in the court of the crimson king...

 

Ahhh, right you are - my bad! My mind immediately jumped to some of the PF The Wall animation with the marching hammers and such. And I have those single pot things...they make good coffee when called upon, but I would not say espresso. This is a vintage espresso maker...Faema sponsored a bike team way back when so they are perfect in my book.

I'm still having to mow the yard.

Did some of that yesterday, going to miss it over the winter.

I'm still hoping! The older I get, the more I hate the cold. It's funny though....I love the snow :D

I like the snow also, just not as many chances as you get, and all the freezing days.

Let's stop with all this snow talk. I don't like it one bit. I grew up in Michigan and have been moving further south every chance I get. I won't be happy till I'm living in Ecuador!

now you can go into the mountains

and pick your own beans...roast them and grind....talk about fresh

brewed coffee..

All this espresso talk is reminding me how much I like it.

Lol, yes I will miss the mowing too:lol:

Play a game for the past while. Tell her yes I will do it

but it is too hot outside. Then it cools down and I say

dang, it is too cool to do it. One of these days, she is

gonna catch on to this procrastination game I play.

She is a keeper and yes, she does not read the forum...I hope:blush2:

Thinking about a cup about now Mike...Nan! lol:emotion-21:

are you a drug dealer ??...

Seems like it at times. 14-18 grams for a double shot, grinding just right for a 20-30 second pull then it changing every day or two as the beans age. Just when you get it right you run out of beans. I dump down the sink about 1/3 of what comes out of the machine. Too fast, too slow too thin, too thick. Almost as madding as which pressing of an LP by what guy that mastered it on a system that has the proper bias and tubes...oh wait THE CABLES!

Snow, Michigan (I was born and raised inFlint) and coffee. Three of my favorite things 😊☕️

 

Supposed to rain/snow here too (Utah)

 

That espresso machine is the bomb!

I grew up in Plymouth had my first house in a sketchy part of Redford. I always liked Flint. I did a bike race many years in a row up there. And the Crim run a few times. Do they still have the Tour de Michigan? Flint, Ann Arbor and I think Birmingham or Bloomfield Hills were always on the list.

Not sure if they still have the Tour or not? I’ve been gone for some time.

 

And yea, the water fiasco has been something else. If they would have just asked me I could have told them the Flint river is not ever, and I mean ever going to be suitable or treatable for drinking water. 👍
