Another coffee epiphany. Flying Goat coffee...
Just brewed my first two cups of Flying Goat's Espresso Ticino. Amazing stuff. Beautiful aroma. Thick mahogany crema. My wife thinks I've lost it, taking pictures of my morning java to share with my "Porsche-obsessed internet friends". She's probably right.
I e-mailed my order to Flying Goat and had freshly roasted beans the next day. They never charged me, but sent a bill with the coffee. The Espresso Ticino was $9.50/pound. Pure caffeinated bliss.

You're not crazy at all. I've seriously considered taking pictures of my own best shots, but usually when I get one just right, I don't have the camera handy.

I just checked on eBay and that unit runs about $2000. I'm looking for a new espresso/coffee maker for my wife. I wanted an all-in-one unit (roast, grind, brew) but I think I've changed my mind...

An example would be the Gaggia Synchrony. We're nearing a thousand cups and still going strong. Cost? About $700. I'm starting to think about roasting my own beans next... "Green" beans are much less expensive than roasted, so it would pay for itself!! At least that's how I'm justifying it... Jon
