good news, not so good news dept.

the good news is, the roaster arrived, along with some other new gear. so did the long-awaited espresso machine.

except it was the wrong one. instead of a volumetric auto wired for 15 amp, we got a 20-amp manual. so it went back. next week, the company says. for the fourth week in a row. it's almost as bad as our bank dramas.

anyway, the grinder works. nothing like fresh roasted, freshly ground beans. if only we had a machine to brew it....



new toys for the kitchen:
