If I were on my own boat I would have lugged it all along with not a microseconds hesitation. Heck, had I been camping by myself I would have lugged it all along. Unfortunately I was with a group of people (all *serious technophiles mind you, we all met on computer BBSs 15 years ago) who seriously frown on any electrical/electronic device above a flashlight being present. Had I pulled out a 6kw generator I would have been tarred and feathered and then staked out and left for the turkey vultures. None of them have ever had a GOOD espresso in their lives and as a result Im subjected to the usual ridicule of the clueless.
As a result I am plotting my revenge. :
;D
Im keeping my eyes open for a gas fired manual espresso machine and a manual grinder. No electronics of any kind in there! And itll use the same gas theyre using to run their stoves and lanterns! ;D ;D ;D Ill set it all up on a folding table I have and bring along some nice fresh roasted beans and by the end of the week-end theyll all be converts!!! MOAHAHAHAHA ;D ;D ;D ;DJava "Revenge is best served in an Illy cup" phile
