I don't live in Portland and haven't visited your establishment, but I enjoy your blog and was happy to see the cafe praised in a national publication!AJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02542493306993616408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269295347248537302.post-19206171798660237012008-07-27T17:45:00.000-07:002008-07-27T17:45:00.000-07:00its nice to have time to go through everything. Little Red Bikes espresso machine (a two group synesso) has been kept well. It was awesome to get it set up again, and this time to attend to the details. The drain tray is the tightest its been ever, the water straight from the steam tank is very tasty, and i learned a ton in the process. The dispersion screens that i bent back were something of a new discovery for me. the screens brand new are slightly convex and fit tightly. these screens had loosened up. i took proper care and used appropriate tools thoughout the reinstallation, no teeth marks, no adjustable wrenches. and what was even better I had a chance to talk with Ray the next day at the cafe about what could be better about the Synesso. Evan and Ali and Annmarie and Alice and Ray made a terrific first day back. It was the highlight of my saturday. I had one of the sandwiches!! it was delicious.Joelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12749982603075266325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269295347248537302.post-52478894403853915752008-07-26T21:55:00.000-07:002008-07-26T21:55:00.000-07:00I know that Joel's hard work is not a laughing matter, but I cannot help but chuckle when I read his anecdotes of the work he does. Which makes the window blog an amazing read, always. You rock Joel!Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14230389374191512040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269295347248537302.post-42389666670134626272008-07-26T20:10:00.000-07:002008-07-26T20:10:00.000-07:00wow.
