That looks great. I have figured out the best way to make a latte at coffeeloverstipsandtricks (.) com

Very nice setup.

[ryanwrollins]

you shouldn't have bought that grinder with a doser...you wouldn't waste so many beans!

[RobsDunne]

I like the set up dude...

[chaddarooch]

nice set-up!

what song is this? the singer sounds like andrew bird.

[holky76]

Thank you.

Song: 'Roscoe' (Erol Alkan Mix)

Artist: Midlake

Album: 'The Trials of Van Occupanther'

I took the song from the repertory that James Hoffman use to won the WBC 2007 because he is one of the baristas that I most respect and learn from.

wow, fantastic. Where did you get that steam wand from?

[holky76]

I draw first the measure and shape of the steam pipe and went to a machine shop. There I choose a pipe with the right diameter and they do the rest for me. I also show them the thread of my 4-hole steam tip that I bought from espresso parts so they can do the same thread to my steam pipe.

Hey great job! You are one of the very few people I would trust to make my coffee. I've never been a fan of that style of distributing, but if it's consistent and works for you power to you. You may want to consider a slightly longer preflush, especially on that kind of espresso machine, not only to heat up the head and flush old grounds out, but also because the first ounce or so can be so hot in that boiler type as to scorch the puck.

Best video of the contest! I won the contest three years ago and I think this is going to be the winner this year.
