A bit of lever action

Acidity was bright and clear but not sharp.

A double basket SO shot of a 28hr old Calle de Copey into a 2oz cup.

15.3gms dosed as a level basket with a 3lb tamp giving a 5mm headspace pulled as per the vid (3sec pre-infusion w/ two full length pulls and killed at early blonding). Extraction resulted in 19gms. Nice sweet nose maybe a bit of honey but not overly big at this point. Acidity was bright and clear but not sharp. Medium body with a hint of creaminess. Tastes like a sweet tangerine that had been sauteed lightly in a lightweight honey. Transported to a spot in Florida and the first bite of a perfect tangerine just plucked off a tree.

That's too much information.   

Maybe less information and more snacks? ;-)

I just went out and found the clip from Next Friday where Epps is ranting about Baby D knowing all the new snacks before they even come out, how she gets "bootleg snacks". 

I was trying to find a way to weave it in and post it but it's not a good fit. Still makes me laugh.....bootleg snacks. Hahaha!

How about a nice 1oz Calle de Copey shot and some 'scalper snacks'. Scalper snacks require a snack assistant who will hide off to the side, out of the camera view, and quietly pimp various snacks that may or may not go well with the particular shot. It doesn't matter if the snack matches up, as long as there are snacks.

Haha, just saw this. Very good.

The answer = yes. ;-)

Yeah ... but Py ... that is a single lever machine.

 

[Pyment]

I thought he wanted a single group?

they have the 2 group at $1168

Of course if he wasn't committed to the PVL, there are other options....

Yes ... he does want 1 group ... but he wants this one:

I think 1st line has some Electra levers for demo pricing left:

Since, John won't be using this as his primary coffee prep, these would make his counter look pretty nice!

While the Shopping Channel experts are busy researching anything and everything for sale, here's an espresso I just pulled... from an actual lever... to keep them motivated.

That's excellent motivation Shaun! How's that old saw go, "Those that can, do. Those that can't, tell others how to do it."? Or something like that.

This vid shows a sub-1oz shot, I mainly did the vid to capture the crema production on the 6 day old Calle de Copey. The iPhone was a bit shaky being hand-held and pulling on the lever, etc but it gets the point across.
