Pictures, puctures, poctures.....!!! Great stuff Pat. Does a seasoned pro like you get excited or do you just nod sagely at having invested in your business?
Oh I'm definitely excited but it has been offset by delays in installation times for various reasons setting the install behind schedule by several weeks I'm more interested to see the difference (if any) in shot quality in the cup, and to put the coffee aspect of the business on centre stage (if it wasnt there already), and its great to see my staff super keen to see it up and running as well In essence the flow rates should be similar to what we have now - meaning that in theory at least we ought to be able to run a shot for a minute or more without blonding or burning the coffee - not that I'm recommending that as the norm - but it does mean that we're able to pull some super tight shots with amazing complexity. even when we're busy, without having to dump the shot and start again - in which case I'd tend to cut the pour short anyway And the presets on the machine in terms of flow rates etc mean that we can concentrate on milk texturing, without having to manually stop the shot (which is a consideration because my first preference was for a manual paddle machine but they're just not suited to our workflow environment And I'm curious to know if the new machine will win over a new demographic in terms of its wow factor - at the very least it should create a talking point, and it sets up apart from our immediate competitors in a fairly substantial way, in terms of having something recognisably different to the Synesso / LM 'norm (well for my area at least) 😉
