That's interesting. The difference in temps from left to right is strange. Any thoughts why?

Does this mean the USBC and regional comps will be on a Simonelli?

the Aurelia was supposed to be hte most temp stable machine in the tests. However any sponsor still has to pay millions to be hte machine sponsor so it is a big committment. we love our Aurelia!

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.

FYI,
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!

A variance from group to group, especially between left and right groups, is pretty typical. You'll see a couple of degrees from left to right on a Marzocco Linea too.

The 40GB or 80GB? Is that the one that has the video screen? ;-)

Thanks, Nick. As a manufacturer, we should find out if our machine 'passed' the testing portion of the process sometime in the middle of this month. I must say, I am very anxious for the test results, just like everyone else. The event at Origins was an excellent experience. Great hosts, top notch testers, engineers from near and far, and a very systematic process for such a subjective product.

Yes, it can be done. I would talk to the guys at Sunergos in Louisville. They did it on a shoe string like that. But they did most all the work their selves, bought used equipment, and worked 100 plus hours a week and didn't pay themselves. Their wi…

Try cinnamon and honey in a latte. We called it a miele. I've never used the syrup, I've always used fresh ground. But that was really good.
As a roaster, I have a question. Who can afford to sell beans at $4 a pound? That's my purchase price for green on many I sell. We have a tiered system. Based on the price of the bean its self and how much people order. So, for instance, you only or…

Jared, admittedly I was looking for replies geared more towards the practice of buying for the future as opposed to conserving operations funding by starting with lower-end gear, but your recommendation looks incredible! Thank you very much!

lemme throw you a couple observations from my first month of being open:
1) i bought a 3 group LM GB/5 used, cause it was a good deal and in good condition. my initial plan was to buy a new 2-group linea and PID mod it, but the used GB/5 was cheape…

Brady, thank you for the response.
You made a great point about the opening week needing the higher capacity. I would imagine the opening week, as a first impression, would be critical in putting a shop's best step (and product) forward to encourag…
For spectacle and build quality there is nothing to match the KVDW
I believe your conclusion is correct. If your growth and profitability curves match most cases that I'm aware of, you'll be less able to afford equipment after 1 year than you are before you open. Buy good quality equipment at the start that will me…
