Re: Aroma fest

Re: Aroma fest

Great pics, Andy and TG! Twas a great day. (I still havent got my voice back. :-/)

I notice the shot of the GJ stand. Where is the queue of hundreds of people clammering for their product? : Hmmm...

(I noticed myself when standing out on the balcony area having a breather that, although there were thousands of people all around, they were unusually quiet.)

And congrats on your equal second place in the shoot-out, TG.

Re: Aroma fest

Well have to somehow nobble Michelle. She was a clear winner. Hopefully, shell have joined the professional ranks by then, like Dan.

Funny how we came a tie whilst using the same Domus Galatea / Super Jolly set-up and same beans. The SJ is definitely heaps quicker than the Mini I was on all day. And the Galatea is a beautiful machine, but the steam wand a bit awkward (after using the Giotto).

OK, TG - its on again next year, then.

That was my plan for all my competitors this year rather than bribe the judge.

Funny how we all came second using that machine  :

Also want to apologise for my lame-o latte art too... its not really my thing  ... thanks for posting that up TG :P.  The milk was a bit on the bubbly-side of silky too  :-[.

Good fun though.
