As the topic asks is there any interest in anyone getting together in the Upper Midwest/Minnesota area in the US? Im in the Twin Cities in MN and would be happy to host a gathering where we could have a play on my Gothot or Primo roaster and/or play with the Cimbali and associated equipment. Peeps would of course be welcome to bring their own equipment and beans to play with as well. If theres interest I also have access to larger (25 pound and up) commercial roasters.
