Just burned out my grinder, awaiting a Rocky via ebay. Recently my Pavoni has started to sound like someone dumped half of the pacific on the gates of hell. I'm more afraid my pursuit of the "God shot" will actually send me to meet God sooner than intended, when the damn thing explodes in my face. Is this really the path I'm doomed to take? People like us need serious help. I’m in my mid 20’s, purchased my first Pavoni Pro 3 years ago, next came the custom tamp. Just burned out my grinder, awaiting a Rocky via ebay.

As I type, "Giggi" is sitting on a workbench at "the Coffee Doctor", having a wobbly steam knob replaced and otherwise being brought back to spec. The fact that the place is manned by "Skip" and "Geek", neither of whom look like they could find Italy on a map, does not console me. God Shot watch over them... Sheesh, just what I need to read.
