A little Grumpy…

During a quick visit to N.Y.C., I was able to visit Cafe Grumpy in Brookland! It was awesome! There’s really not much else to say. Visit their site here!

Report on the new gear.

It’s been about three months since I got the mazzer mini, and have to say that it does make a difference. In retrospect, I might have waited too long because this grinder is dreamy, it really is. It seems like ages ago that I was stuggling with the Rocky. And it’s not that we didn’t get along, no. It was just that we weren’t good for each other anymore…

Ok! It was a long wait but they’re finally here! The Vibiemme Domobar Super and the Mazzer Mini have become the newest additions to the Godshots family! A big big-up to Brandy over at Espressoparts for all of her help!

Fellini Shots!

With my machine on the fritz, the past two months have been tough. Luckily, Kiyoshi was nice enough to lend me his Europiccola! So it looks like I’ll be pulling Fellini shots for a while… And that’s cool!

Crema

James Hoffmann over at Jim Seven posts a simple video explaining some new thinking about crema and it’s effect on espresso flavour. It immediately made me want to stay home all day and try out all the different ideas put forth in the video.

Although Jim stated that he wasn’t going to take these videos too seriously, it would be awesome to see this turn into a steady series. His personality seems to jive well with the camera, and he obviously has alot of coffee knowledge to share with the internets.
