not before time, finally i can book out the last two LONDINIUM R from the batch that was completed some time ago

these production delays are not great, and i apologise for the frustration it has caused some of you - believe me your pain is shared as when things fall behind schedule i sit up until 2am trying to drive it forward and that is the way things have been for much of 2017

i am told that the third production line is being turned on next week and i have written to the managing director who is back from holiday next week to clarify what impact that will have on our current lead times as the status quo needs to change; we need to get stock sitting on the shelf for a pick & pack customer experience, as we had prior to launching the LONDINIUM R

anyway, both of these 120V machines will be collected by DHL today and wing their way to North America, one of which is going to my classmate from college who now owns the three Chocolate Fish cafes in Sacramento so if you live in the area look out for a new toy on their counter soon

ANCAP espresso cups to match the ANCAP competition cups we already have are working their way from Verona to Birmingham by truck, along with some cupping bowls if those are of interest

green coffee isnt going to be delivered until next week and that is sand in the gears too, but anyway i'll just have to be patient

dosing funnels are being produced and a sample is expected today as we have a second go at getting the laser etching the way i want it

making stuff is slow going sometimes, but these dosing funnels & distribution tools are going to make the biggest difference to your coffee on a per dollar spent basis than anything else you can buy; i guarantee that they will push your espresso making significantly up the curve to the extent that you will taste the difference in the cup from the first sip until the last drop.  it delivers a consistency to your results that most people find elusive & frustrating to achieve
