Yesterday I was crossing the Organ Mountains in NM into Las Cruces and was greeted with this majestic weather. You can see a dust storm is coming followed by a rain storm. On my way back home I had to drive through the storm with pitch black skies that illuminated from time to time with the celestial presence of lightning and thunder. Strangely, I felt peace and calmness. It was a great time!
After 7 years of loyal service, many beans, two countries, several settings, one pump replacement and two JB Weld fixes later, the Breville is ready to rest. I thank you for the years of service. Now it's the Profitec era. The learning curve was real but not impossible. Once I learned how to dial, the first cup dissipated my buyers remorse instantly. The difference in taste, aftertaste, acidity and aroma from the same beans was instantly noticeable. Even my wife commented on how pleasant the coffee was and could not believe they were the same beans. I'm sure the new grinder helps tremendously. I'm looking forward for many years of service, 2 more countries and a great selection of beans.
I buy a lot of things online and I have never seen a company taking the time and resources to ship their products as safely as possible. Clive Coffee you have my respects. You raised the bar too high, too high...
I printed this week's ago and finally had the time this weekend to put it all together. It is all held together by screws, hot glue and spray paint. It is now my dog's companion for long walks around the block. Kids love it and fellow fathers give me the nod of approval.
