Slayer at St ALi’s Melbourne


Click video to play

Happy to report that Slayer arrived in Melbourne. Hearing some good things here about the coffee extractions happening at St. ALi’s.  However, I was delighted to receive an actual video from Matt John, a recap of the arrival, unpacking, installing, first use and party that followed Slayer’s debut.  If you happen to be in the neighborhood of St ALi be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

By the way, this machine is serial number 1.  Much fought over, I finally managed to wrest this notable machine away from other hands, get it into a box, and shipped off to Salvatore who has been waiting since before we even debuted Slayer in Atlanta.

I also want to acknowledge a debt of gratitude to Sal for “getting” the Slayer concept long before most people did, and putting real cash money out there, thereby helping us make the whole thing possible.  I can’t say enough about how important you early adopters are.  So thanks for that Mr Salvatore!

Best regards,

Eric Perkunder in Seattle

    Very very cool. I knew when I saw the Slayer at the SCAA Expo in Atlanta that I was witnessing something very special. And I seriously remember the espresso I received from it. Sweet, perfect, rich. Remarkable. And to have serial # 0001 – how cool!

    You can feel the excitement as they open the crate and break in the new machine with a Grand Opening of sorts. Fun to see a whole room of coffee lovers celebrating the Slayer’s arrival.

    Please let me know when somebody puts one into a coffee shop in Atlanta.

    All the best,

    Ren

    This is looking strikingly similar to something I have seen on this site somewhere :-)

    Hum.
