Wow Pierce/Bear – only 6 miles away and haven’t been there yet! Man – you are missing a great slice at what Phoenix coffee is all about!

July 22nd at Liberty… sounds like time for a possible Arizona-Coffee.com get together to celebrate Liberty’s b’day! Anyone else interested?

sounds like the people here at the www.stopaddiction.com I work for will have some catching up to do in order to drink as much as you did and we are serious coffee drinkers

It is an original Faema e-61….it is NOT the legend re-issue. Liberty chose this machine because its history fits in with all the other history/stories of the 80 year old market now turned restaurant. Liberty will be celebrating its birthday on July 22nd. I don’t know the story behind it coming to AZ, but Liberty Market knows and is into education on both their machine and coffee in general.

Ehm, izzat an actual Faema E-61 restoration, (named the E-61 for the same reason that Shure named their mics the SM-57 and SM58, its the year that the design came out…) or is that an E-61 Legend, the recent re-issue?
In either case, it’s a cool machine, but in the former, it’s a piece of history.
I would love to hear the story behind how it came to be in Arizona, if it is actually 48 years old…

I am especially glad that the new owners kept the vintage ‘Liberty Market’ signage.

Glad you enjoyed Liberty Market…I know I do! The iced mochas and the cortaditos are some of the finest coffee drinks in the Valley, IMHO.

Love the machine. Nice picture this time (I knew you’d get it right eventually

I tried to stop by there this morning, but in the murky-mental-ether following the 4th of July weekend, I think I strayed way too far South. Will definitely try one of those cordatidos.

Guys,

Liberty would love to have you back any day. Perhaps we have a coffee meetup at Liberty someday when I’m not on the clock.

I also had a great time. I wish it had been a little less busy – I would have loved to get some shots of the building but it looks like Chris got things pretty well covered on that front. This place has earned a spot in my top three shops in Arizona! I look forward to my return.

This was a great experience. Really a gem for the PHX metro area. I will be recommending this to my out of town friends. Thanks for all the great drinks guys!
