I read Gizmodo every day and just saw this pop up on my RSS&#8230; needless to say I was more than a little shocked.
Check out the story of Slayer in New York at RBC here at Gizmodo: A Little $18,000 Espresso Machine Called Slayer

The coffee scenes in Portland and Seattle differ more than you might think, especially considering that the two cities are less than three hours apart by train or car, and share similar demographics, climates, &#38;  cultural attitudes.  Sam Lewontin touches on what the Seattle coffee scene could learn from Portland and what it might take [...]]]></description>

Thoughts on business on Slayer on the past and future year.

This post is rather a rambler.

So before going further, I want to thank you all for your support this year.  2009 was an epic year for us.  This was the year we completed designing, and finally introduced, and began building the Slayer.  For over [...]]]></description>

Bean Scene Magazine (click here to view)  in Melbourne featured Slayer as the cover story for their November issue.  The article was an over-the-top free association on Slayer and I just loved it.  I especially enjoyed the way Steve captured the essence of Slayer as &#8220;an irrational exercise in exuberance&#8221; because this joy in creating a [...]]]></description>

Reading this, I think Ethan makes one good point: no one is perfect and  unfortunately we do live in a time and place where even posting a comment to the Cloud is emitting tundra-melting CO2.  In this sense, we are all hypocrites and posers. However, I also think Ethan misses a larger point.

Did you know that the SCAA sponsors a poetry contest each year? It&#8217;s true. I only learned this fact on the last day of SCAA Atlanta, when I happened to overhear an announcement over the din, &#8220;Best Poem of 2009 to be awarded in 15 minutes.&#8221; [Note: Turns out the winner is only announced at SCAA, [...]]]></description>

Coming to terms&#8211;finding the right words!

Espresso machine manufacturers like to lay claim to a tradition of hand-made espresso machine manufacturing.  Maybe you&#8217;ve noticed this too.

Such claims can be confusing because they don&#8217;t elaborate on the actual characteristics [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m posting this picture of Dan Urwiler posing behind the proto-Slayer:  Slayer&#8217;s prototype.  The fit and finish of this pre-production machine is far less refined than the production version.  The proto-Slayer was almost 100% handmade, and went through numerous iterations before reaching the version shown here.  Like most prototypes, proto-Slayer reflects many  tweaks and changes [...]]]></description>
