I love going to these coffee events, but being away from my shop for even one whole day is kind of nerve-wracking for me. To compound the issue, this last week was maintenance time, meaning: I spent a lot of weird overnights at different locations, taking stuff apart and putting it back together. I really like working on the equipment, nearly on the level with serving awesome espresso in terms of satisfaction for me, but the vampiric necessity of doing all major work when the cafés are closed has been kind of rough.
But! Within a few weeks things should be back to normal, and I can focus back in on the café. Heading to Santa Barbara tomorrow for Camp Pull-A-Shot (yes, that's really what it's called), planning on soaking up as much knowledge and technique as I possibly can.
I leave you with this: mopeds are the new fixies? Apparently, these folks meet up by Caffé Aroma every Sunday. Huh.
