I did get to play with the one at the AZ Barista Jam to see if I'd wired it right, though!

With the Clover and the Versalab M3 grinder, he's got two pieces of kit that may well be the only ones of their kind in AZ. I'm almost positive that it's the only one being used in a commercial environment. It's the love, though, that makes his coffee special. this cat is driven, and will make it on enthusiasm alone, if nothing else. This is one of the ten best cappus I've had in AZ, and I've had some pulled by the best. One shot, and the friend I'd brought was asking me how she could get an espresso machine and a grinder on the tour with her. As for signage, He doesn't really seem to be too shy about that sort of thing. The one in front of the register is now one of my very faves. If someone has the opportunity, post a pic of that sign somewhere so that Nick Cho can get a peek at it. I'm pretty sure that that will elicit a belly-laugh from him!
