How long until Milowebailey has a a cow in the back yard... we already know that Mrs Milowebailey likes horses, cows are just large horses, right?

Shaun has part interest in old Molly he's wanting to sell Larry!

Theno's Dairy on the Redmond/Woodinville Road sold raw milk, and even had goats milk (my favorite for lattes).

I used to buy it off the back of a truck. The drove to set undisclosed locations and you had to get an invite to the list of times/locations. I can only guess that there was a raw milk bust that caused them to act this way.

Small world. I used to stop there all the time for ice cream when I lived in Redmond and was a skinny construction worker.

Small world indeed; I lived on the top of the hill on the Kirkland side of the valley.

First latte this morning (sorry no photos - had to get out the door)... also realized my steaming pitchers are in the mail from Portland... so I improvised and steamed in a paper cup, then folded the rim for a spout..... not great microfoam or a great pour, but the taste.... noticeably better.  I'll be frequenting the Silvana Creamery every trip to the cabin.... now to find a store in Seattle that sells it.

Steamed in a paper cup and folded the rim, that made me smile.

Be sure not to take the raw milk beyond 140 degrees so you can observe the 'terrior' of the milk. I kinda liked raw at 130'ish, it made most of them 'pop'.

Lever action - next on the list.  In the order I predict they will fall and to what they will succumb:

JSpain, La Pavoni
Blzrfn, Europicolla
ECDHunt, model unknown

One of your picks is incorrect.

It took the horse less than two weeks to tip -- I was going on the horse's mouth.  "I really like that Pavoni -- no spring." 

Nay.  <Neigh>.

Well with the grand master lever puller Shaun guiding, Larry finding, and John F runner her down, testing and shipping I am the proud new owner of a Ponte Vecchio Lussia! John is making a few adjustments in consultation with Shaun and in a couple weeks I'll be pulling a lever and searching for espresso nirvana!

Thanks to Larry for the find and for John F "going up and beyond the call of duty" to make the connection, pick-up, adjustments, and shipping from Denver to OHIO!

BTW, Shaun said, "What's a Cremina???"  ;D

Ignore him.  He lives north of the 49th and talks nonsense.
