Espresso machine for Steamboat...

[Gary]

Lynn....thank you for your kind an considerate offer....the bean heads in Rons condo may have lost sight of the beauty and subtlty of fine hot chocolate or the french press espresso.

COuld be a nice way to end the ski day as well..

I'll bring the bisconti's!?

G

Lynn, I'll bring the biscotti's ..........

OK, subtlety of hot chocolate or french press esspresso? Nothing wrong with either but is either one sublte? Does anyone drink Subtle Esspresso??

[Glenn]

I had some of their hot chocolate last year...good stuff.

I LOVE JARRED GARLIC!!! so easy!
And I know you probably would not find my coffee up to your standards,
 but you must realize that you live in a rarefied java strata.

[Gary]

AND the oxygen is very thin up there Lynn...

I like Jarifeid garlic too. when I'm assisting in the kitchen....easy is good....

Having said that....if Ron's cooking with the real stuff....it's nice too.

White chocolate....el-lardo...

I need the DARK DARK Real Chocolate....got a bar already to be packed!

[Ron]

can anyone please educate me on how garlic is difficult? cut the end off, hit it with the back of the knife, the peelinig falls right off, chop. Done... ?

[midwif]

As opposed to scooping out with a spoon?

And there is ALWAYS some skin sticking to the garlic which must be teased off. Time consuming.

[Ron]

when we are at the boat I will show you. It's very easy and simple and it actually tastes like garlic..... That minced stuff doesn't taste very good, it's kind of soured and what's with that oil it comes in???

[Gary]

Yahooo..

It's a "Garlic Off"


I volunteer as taste tester!

[Ron]

the knife edge is much easier and cleaner but at least its fresh garlic.

[Gary]

a 3 way Garlic off....this is getting interesting!

Back to the Delonghi for a moment....Ron, how the devil are you gonna pack that thing and schlep it all the way out west? It doesn't exactly look miniature....way bigger than a Bialetti, anyway.  Is it actually small enough to fit in your suitcase?

[Ron]

I'll UPS's it around. It's just a couple of pounds. I was going to just leave it there but I think it needs to come to J-hole and whistler too! It really makes nice espresso, I was really suprised at the quality. For $100 shipped, you can't go wrong. It even is pump driven!

[Svend]

Wow, no wonder you couldn't say no.  Let me know how it holds up after a good road test.  Might have to get one myself for our travels...that Tundra ski wagon has lotsa room for that kind of thing.   

Say, have you ever had good (I mean REALLY good) coffee out of one of those superautomatics? Jura, Saeco, and their ilk...? The tax man allows one new coffee machine every year, and our business needs another coffee machine.    A superauto would be just the thing for a dinner party or a quick shot on the run.  Trouble is, all the shots I've tasted, even from $4500 Jura's set to their strongest, hottest brew, were still worse than what I get from my $20, 25 year-old Bialetti.  If they're all that bad, I'd never turn it on.  Saeco, though, seems to be the exception -- the coffee I had out of one of theirs was at least hot, and had some punch behind it.
