Home-Barista.com's EspressoFest

Home-Barista.com has been hard at work putting together EspressoFest.

I've stolen some text from Dan's web site to help explain:

As noted in Just when I thought it couldn't get better, Counter Culture Coffee and Home-Barista.com are joining together to offer a consumer-oriented event during the SCAA conference. Here's the broad outline of what we've discussed: The event will take place at their office / training facility, located approximately one mile from the conference center. Scheduled for 12-3pm on Sunday. They have a 3-group stock La Marzocco Linea and an Astoria Gloria that should be installed soon. In addition, I will arrange as much equipment as fits in my car for "hands on" sessions (with luck, including a one-group Synesso Cyncra).

EspressoFest is primarly a good excuse to meet with other enthusiasts, however it will have some structured presentations. I would like a mix of topics that address home baristas at all levels, from pro-am to budding enthusiast. Below are some of the ideas I propose, many of which were inspired by discussions on this board:

EspressoParts will be there too we got a block of time to meet and greet all of our most excellent customers on the consumer side of the business. We are looking forward to it guys!
