I am excited to hear about the results of the WBC testing that went on last week in Vancouver. I hope to be able to post more info on other equipment too, but for now I have the results from one of the machines tested. (information posted with permission)
The attached info relates to Average Brew Temperature and Logged Temperature Stability. I hope to have more info as it comes to me ...

So since I have never actually worked on an Aurelia, I can't say much about it, but what I do know is that my good friend and mad scientist Greg, this they are good.
With that said, I think it could be anyone of these fine machines.
The announcement of the 2009-2011 WBC machine sponsor will be made shortly after the WBC champion is announced at the 2008 WBC in Copenhagen. Not one minute before.
Anything else that you hear is pure speculation. Don't believe the hype!

Great hosts, top notch testers, engineers from near and far, and a very systematic process for such a subjective product.
For Seattle (and Portland) I would recommend Stumptown, they have cafes in both cities which do regular cuppings. On a recent trip to Seattle I had a great time with Herkimer and Zoka. Herkimer does cuppings upon request at their cafe in the Balla...

Just curious, I was discharged in 1973 so I have been out of the GI coffee loop for awhile.
I donated a Zass grinder to a soldier I know leaving for Afganistan. I just couldn't stand the thought of him having to drink what I think they offer them.
I am trying to help a regular customer at my shop find good coffee abroad, can anybody give me a list of places to be in Seattle and/or Fullerton California?

I am looking for a "nice" used Diedrich Roaster. For those who have used the Diedrich IR series, how do you like them?
If you have one, PM me...

Outlaw Coffee Roasters
To some degree i believe what they are saying. They could have said it with a little more finesse though.
The idea is that you can roast to taste the bean, or roast to taste the roast. The route that every great roaster is taking is to just roast ...
