at 7am so that perhaps commuters would stop in for sticky buns, scones,
green chile-cheddar scones (popular), banana bread with chocolate chips
and breakfast burritos.
After doing quite a lot of research on espresso machines we decided to
buy a two shot, reconditioned Italian machine; which I named 'The Bad Boy'
once it was installed. It is not a giant machine, but it is mighty and a lovely
shade of blue.
Our first day with the machine we couldn't get it up to pressure. Our friend
who is an electrical engineer stopped by and did some in depth checking of
our electricity in our old adobe building and pronounced everything sound.
So we called the dealer who said 'unplug it and plug it back in and then push
the button'. Viola, latte's in a few minutes and it's been going great ever since.
I painted a sign that reads 'espresso' for outside the bistro and hopefully this
week people will begin to come in with some regularity.
One thing that I am curious about, did you know how many people out there
think espresso is spelled expresso?
