    I got:

    Espresso Coffee - The Science of Quality edited by Andrea Illy and Rinantonio Viani. Written very scientifically and looks like a big read. Its more like a collection of long journal articles and definitely not one for my bedside table

    Topics include agronomy, green coffee processing, roasting/grinding, packaging, percolating and decaffeination techniques. A comprehensive resource for those interested in the fundamental notions of coffee quality.
    Read it yet?
    It sounds like an interesting read. deffs not for a chilled sunday arvo though!
    just wondering how you found it, as im thinking about going out and getting my hands on one.

    cheers,
    Matt

    Santa brought me a Pullman tamper with a Jarrah handle and a Synesso basket. Nice one Santa Oh and I got some PNG pre-roasted coffee from the Grandparents, it was only roasted 6 months earlier, mmmmmmm fresh, I ground it up and gave it to the inlaws 8-)

    Santa (in most cases) seems to know exactly what snobs want, isnt that funny. Even our kids are adding to our kit with things only a snob would know was missing ;D

    Not sure how my 6 year old ordered cups from Intelligentsia but theres the mystery of Christmas

    Well done !

    Hi Krusty, it didnt come without a lot of hard work the trade was all the reno work over the years and careful negotiations highlighting the huge amount of $$$ saved by me doing all the work  :-? plus swmbo is getting a new kitchen and I agreed to pull out the old and do the plumbing and put in a bi-fold (looking forward to that one with the demo saw) Mr Gitto will have to be carefully wrapped up to protect from dust - my work is never ending however she does love the coffee from the new setup so wins to all

    Thats an awesome sign

    Not officially xmas presents, but in December I scored a Compak K6 Grinder and Expobar Office Control machine. Also on order is a new tamper (not a Pullman unfortunately.

    I got a single plunger in funky green for work. The much hoped for VBM Junior must have fallen of the sleigh. Dex, your wife doesnt happen to have an identical twin I can marry? ;D

    Re: Santa got me [coffee things] for xmas!

    This Christmas turned out to be a very merry coffee Christmas ;D

    My Wife bought me a shiny new Giotto, (I kicked in for a chrome ECA Best grinder), my boys bought me Rockingham cups and one of those mini keyring group handles - very cute  .

    I took the gear to my sisters place carefully placing my Giotto on the back seat and strapping him? in with the seat belt.  The family enjoyed a nice cuppa after lunch and I was rewarded with a "Fresh Coffee Served Here" sign.

    The Giotto brewed up 8 cups in a row without any trouble at all  8-)
