        LEVEL1
        ...when you go to bed at night, mulling around in your head what went wrong with the last pull of espresso that just wasnt quite right, and you wake up with the solution and jolt out of bed to get to the espresso machine to try it as soon as possible.

        LEVEL2
        ...when you go to bed at night, mulling around in your head what went wrong with the last pull of espresso that just wasnt quite right, and you wake up and look at the pad of paper next to the bed and realize that you had written down the solution during the night and have no memory of waking to do so.

        LEVEL3
        ...when you go to bed at night, mulling around in your head what went wrong with the last pull of espresso that just wasnt quite right, and you wake up and go to make the espresso you see that the grinder has been readjusted and there is a sticky note to yourself, in your writing, to try dosing just a bit less and have no memory of waking to do so.

        LEVEL4
        ..as above in LEVEL3, but the sticky note is signed: "The Coffee Elves."

          Piu la mandi giu, e piu ti tira su
          That translates roughly to - the more you send her away, the more she pulls you back on top.

          You know youre a coffee snob when... you vaguely consider paying $3 to get behind the machine in the cafe and making your own coffee.

          Am I alone?

            I like the intergerity of your translation danahooshmand, its fairly close, but, I think we can do better.

            the more you send her down, the more she pulls you back on top ;D ;D ;D

                When you pay your $3.50 and politely sit to watch your friends drink thier Coffees while you leave yours to sit and wait to get home to make your own....

                P.S. As a new cafe owner... if ever anyone comes into my Cafe, the door is always open to anyone who thinks they can do better!

                I had a saying in the last place I was employed in as a Barista, there is no room for Egos when you are striving for good coffee!

                  I thought this one was just me.

                  Significant other: "Whats wrong hun, you were mumbling in your sleep?"

                  Me: "I think if I shift the heat gun mount I can hinge the whole thing to dump straight into the cooler!"

                  ....

                  "Go back to sleep"

                      Thatd be microevolution, not macroevolution ;D

                        ...your dessert order of affogato is put in front of you and you start by holding the espresso shot up to the light to inspect the crema and then taking a sniff of the content, only to be told by a passing waitress that "it's coffee" thinking that you may be puzzled by what it is...and you fight the urge to reply "Is it?" because from the smell and by sight you know that the espresso shot is from very stale beans...and you are thankful that this stale espresso is going to be smothered by the vanilla bean ice cream and the kaluah shot!!

                                Any of your customers complain about their coffee tasting a bit acidic?
