Steve says:
You can also email brian@presscfw.com to particapate….I look forward to seeing some new faces with coffee passion!!
Victor says:
Sounds like fun. I’ll try and make it with my new competition frothing pitcher with an extended beak.
Steve says:
For those of you interested the machine is a Cimbali Dosatron M39…
Victor…where did you get that pitcher….I’d interested in looking for one.
jc says:
Sounds like fun I’m gonna try and come up and check it out!
Ron Cortez says:
So, If I want to participate I will just show up and have free access to there machine to produce 3 drinks. Then collect my cash price and skip town? That easy. Sounds like a blast, I will be there.
Chris Tingom says:
Ron, if you want to compete you have to RSVP and pay the $5 entry fee (for the prizes). There are a limited number of spots.

Then, I was mistaken by what I read. Sorry
Chris Tingom says:
No apology needed, I can see how the way I wrote it is confusing.
Steve says:
I just want to see Ron compete!!!! I havnt seen you since I met you at the SCAA….if my memory serves me correctly.
Ron Cortez says:
I have a brand new baby girl and I will try like hell to be there and share the joy of being in the coffee world. This is a great thing dudes.
Michael T says:
If I get to drink my competitive efforts, I just might find a way up there.
If not, I hope Ron rocks the house!
Victor says:
Steve-
I got the pitcher from EspressoParts. Now, in a very twisted way, I’m finding my older pitcher works better. Maybe I’m just used to it. Hope to see you all on Thursday.
