Personally, I really enjoyed the barista's comments. I have read some other articles written by the journo, and do not like their style of prose. Reminiscent of certain people I know; but you cannot always dodge family, even distant members. :head: Couldn't resist and clicked on the Slayer Advert at the top of the blog. It lead to Slayer, and an article about Aussie cafes. They showed one that did 40kg per day (according to them), and had a 2 and 3 group Slayer. The 2 group was mainly used to steam milk. I suppose it is also a back up machine, but to invest those sorts of dollars simply for steaming milk seems a bit over the top. Love how they point to the fact that you can steam all day on a Slayer, which is fine , but other machines at a much cheaper price do the same thing. I suppose you need a Slayer for milk steaming if the staff are really good, and that is the only way to keep them. :stir
