CoffeeKid - More Adventures in CoffeeLand (#)
„Bottom line on this machine? It's a genuine La Marzocco Linea, with the massive actively heated grouphead, brews near perfect shots in the hands of skilled technicians (so far I've had three championship calibre Baristi use the machine and they've gone nuts over it) and it steams like a banshee. The biggest workout it's gotten so far was a marathon 14 drink build session in about 20 minutes, and the machine never skipped a beat. There's something to be said about microfrothing 12 ounces of milk in 12 seconds.“

CoffeeKid - The Ultimate: La Marzocco
„The grouphead is actively heated. As mentioned in the previous point, the La Marzocco grouphead is an active-heat grouphead - a large volume of water flows through the La Marzocco grouphead directly from the brewing boiler. This is has serious advantages over heat exchanger machines that actively heat the grouphead because the grouphead is heated by brew temperature water, not steam temperature water. A La Marzocco grouphead is within 2 to 5 F of the boiler's internal water temperatures - very tight, but very right.“

CoffeeKid - Goin' to Seattle, Francis! Francis! and Etching
„We went back to Hines after 2 hours at the LM plant (where we saw lots of their goodies - one good news item - they've finally gone to production on the welded groupheads - it looks like leaking LM grouphead problems are a thing of the past), and hooked up again with John Sanders and Bronwen Serna. Much more discussion on all things coffee, from the shift from the USBC judging form and style (4 judges) to the WBC judging forms and style (7 judges) for the upcoming Canadian Barista Championship . I'm psyched. Sanders even let me run a batch through his Probat roaster, so if you're drinking some Ethiopian Harar at the shop in the next few days, that's from me to you :)“

CoffeeKid - The subject is coffee!
„Well, here and there, there was; two things that caught my eye - the new revamped Reneka Techno machine for super high end home use, and the new 'lectronics that La Marzocco was exhibiting (but still, some six months later, aren't selling or manufacturing yet). Nuova Simonelli was also showing off a new machine with new 'lectrics that seemed impressive in description, but I haven't had the opportunity to actually use it yet.“

CoffeeKid - Changes, SCAA Boston, and La Marzocco
„Well, the time draws near, and this will probably be my last CoffeeKid CafeTalk before I hit the road on a trip that will eventually lead to Boston and the annual SCAA Trade Show and Conference . Jeanette and I leave next Thursday, very early AM, on a plane to Ottawa, so I can spend the Easter holiday with my Mom and family. The day after Easter Monday we hop the short haul flight to Boston M.A.“

„Sunday, I'll be hanging around the ESI (La Marzocco) booth for a while, then Nuova Simonelli again, then touring the floor, with maybe a pit stop at Baratza again. Sunday evening, two dinners, one early, one late. Look for another update with photos and vids.“
