That may be the cleanest basement in Brooklyn. Love the look and sound of the Electra. Sounds a little like a Ducati with a dry clutch. I'm down by Columbia Street (around the corner from the Stumptown office) and would love to stop by next time you have a Basement Barista Jam. I can bring Pedlar pretzels and Baked cinnamon buns.

Regards,

Robey

Juanjo,

Thanks for the get together..

Had a real good time playing with the elektra! What a classic machine... David should keep it :)



Also we all had a great time trying to steam milk for one latte in a small pitcher... so challenging with so much steaming power and a four hole tip!


Thanks again had a lot of fun!

Hey!  What are the cups that you're using in that video?  I think that those are the same kind that Jon sent me so many years ago (and thanks again, Jon, those'r still my favorites).
