A bit of lever action

Dave,

You're on!!!

Remember, no reprints from Shaun or Milo for your post!!! 

Shaun, sure but Milo?!  I would rather become a sheep than borrow his slop <wink>.

 

We might need proof that it's B|latte' made it.  Maybe the Czarina should take the photo of Dave the sheep Goat with his pour poor!

There ... I corrected that for you.

I like Larry's thinking!!!! I know Dave will have something up his sleeve other than arm hair!!!? This is going to be like taking candy from a GOAT!

From this morning.

Shaun,

You're spoiling the voter base! Nice work my friend!

Dave sent me a photo of a latte pour he did on Friday.  No witnesses, but he's on honest guy, right?

I couldn't pour that with a whole team of barista world champs coaching me. <Self-deprecating inserts to lull our Bad Boy Buckeye into complacency>.

Nice Shaun!  I see I have a ways to go still.


Here is one of mine from this morning.  Over-poured a bit.

Wish I had a dollar for every time I over-poured.

From 5mins ago...

Maxing it out.



Revisiting dose vs. grind vs. ratios.

Great timing Shaun.

Looks great!

Need that in my belly!

1 1/2 pulls Yemen Mohka Harasi straight-up.  Yum!

Ringo offered to help with the pictures and posting. I'm off to a great neice's graduation party so the first of the week we'll try and get some pics posted. The Latte art is even getting better. Ms. Lusso does steam nicely! Getting that correct steaming is a key to the art!

Tell you what.  I think you and I are the latte art chumps.  What if we both practice until July 30.  Then, we will forward ONE PICTURE to Ringo (only one picture, per entrant).  Ringo will post them in a "blind poll."  Loser donates $50 to Grounds for Health.

Rules:
1.  Patti can't pour it for you.
2.  You have to lose your Buckeye excuses.
3.  You can't have someone hold your hand.
4.  No whining.
5.  No "recounts." 
<grins>

Work for you?

Only one bad shot this morning. It was the first one and it's not always the rule but I must admit that the first shot of the morning seems to be the one's that going to not meet standards if I'm going to pull a bad one. Machine warming up I'm sure! Couldn't be the operator!! 

Have Patti show you how to do the first shot.  Then you can try the 2nd...

I think you boys could add one more penalty for the looser, I think the looser should wear the college team jersey that the winner picks for a week.  And pictures should be posted on the site, B/java would look good with an Ohio state shirt, Jim could put on a Michigan shirt for the first time in his life.

Al,

I'll go for that! No way will this body see a "team up north" shirt on it!!! B/slopartist in an Ohio State Buckeyes shirt makes my heart sing!! Patti's got the camera warmed up. As soon as electric is back on the throw down is ON!

You are on.  Let's see, Jim Spain in a Florida Atlantic Univ Owls jersey or a Trinity Lutheran Seminary collar.

Does Ohio have a post-secondary university for high school grads?

For that quip you should be pelted with stone hard Wisconsin cheddar by the whole Badgers cheerleading squad standing on the 50 yard line while wearing a Buckeyes jersey!
