   from Nick

From last night's Espresso Xxtravaganzza




Suffice it to say, a good time was had by all. 9 espresso blends: Zoka Paladino, Paradise Roasters Classico, Counter Culture Toscano, Ecco Caffe Northern Italian, Intelligentsia Black Cat, Hines Public Market Coffee Espresso, Metropolis Coffee Redline, Gimme! Coffee Leftist, and a very special espresso that only a few people dared try... each was pulled through our lovely Synesso, each at the roaster's specifications for brew water temperature and dosage, and each emerged from the spouts at the delight of the 35 people who attended. SCAA Flavor Wheels were handed out, extensive tasting notes were logged, and there are at least 35 folks around the Mid-Atlantic with bloodshot eyes... we went from 7:30pm to past 11:00pm.
Thanks to all who attended, and we look forward to GeekFest IV!!!
