Warm up the machine, portafilter, and glassware.
Set, grind, and dose. 28 grams. Triple basket in a “naked” portafilter. Free trade, organic, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Supreme Bean. Tastes like blueberries!
“Tamp” the coffee down. 30-40 pounds of pressure. Polish. Use a bathroom scale for practice.
Lock and load, baby. PID set to 202.5 degrees.
WE HAVE IGNITION! (5mb QT Movie) Note how the glass fills with crema. Yes, it’s a long pour… what can I say, it tastes good. 
What are you waiting for? Enjoy it already!

So I’m browsing OpenLaszlo blogs, come across an article about coworking, look at Los Angeles, pick a name from the list. Hmmm, see you went to Oxy, so did I, but in 1979. But more amazingly, you’re drinking my brothers coffee (he is a partner at Supreme Bean). Good choice!
Very cool! I’m so excited about my new machine, thanks for sending this along!
