This four year old Synesso Cyncra espresso machine is aging well. It still has its original solenoid valves, including the parker class H valves (now obsolete). The inside of the steam boiler is super clean. The orifices that lead to the steamwands look great. It does not even need an acid bath.
New coffee arrived yesterday. Five new coffees, which we will slowly delve into.
We are busy roasting, keeping up with our accounts, and building a new coffee shop at the moment.
People visited our workshop over the weekend and purchased coffee. We were detailing a two group Synesso espresso machine both Saturday and Sunday, imagine tiny toothbrushes and abrasive pads. Having people stop by was wonderful.
This morning a lovely roast of El Salvador finca Alaska was pulled off and sent to the Half & Half Cafe, 923 sw Oak. This came along with some Guatemala finca Las Nubes, roasted Sunday afternoon.
Today we have some big decisions to make about what new coffees to purchase. Five samples sit on the table. Alex is on the cargo bike downtown delivering coffee to offices, as soon as he gets back we will probably cup everything.
