Walking Tours - Vancouver - Register here! - 2007/11/05 11:39 I am trying to coordinate some walking tours of the Vancouver coffee scene - November 13-14-15

So far there are 3 or 4 interested parties.
If you are interested, put your name down in this forum topic.

What I am thinking of doing is trying to coordinate a visit to 49th Parallel Roasters, the new 49th Parallel Cafe - and some "drop-ins" to the likes of the Elysian Room. I am also open to suggestions from Vancouver area coffee fans. Colin is the Senior editor and creator of the CoffeeCrew.Com Website

Re:Walking Tours - Vancouver - Register here! - 2007/11/12 22:29 So far I have set up a Roaster tour of 49th Parallel Roasters in Burnaby for 11AM on Wednesday -- followed by a trip to the new 49th Parallel Cafe in Kits - and then... well... who knows.

I am keeping it all low profile, random and hopefully fun. Dave Reimer from the coffeecrew may be joining us as well.

More details tomorrow. Colin is the Senior editor and creator of the CoffeeCrew.Com Website

Re:Walking Tours - Vancouver - Register here! - 2007/11/15 15:42 We have had a couple of days of tooling around here and there -- met up with a few people, had some great coffee - all mid-day kind of stuff.

Many thanks to Theresa L. (tmplo on the Forum) for taking time out of her busy schedule to hang around and talk story -- and of course to Dave Reimer for coming along on the Roaster tour to 49th.

Apologies to those I missed.

Saeco Incanto, in general, is garbage. We've had ongoing problems with ours (that you can see at the web link in my profile). Have you had the machine serviced at all? Or just a call to ask if the...

Based on all the discussion and reviews, I am looking to buy either the 8 cup or the 12 cup model. Since the physical size of the units (other than the pot, of course) seems to be exactly the same, i...
Subject: Re:Help: Cafe Roma vs. Starbucks Sirena - by: Bobby
Since you've posted in the $400 I'd say return the Breville and get a single boiler machine. In this price range you can easily get an entry level Saeco or Gaggia, or a lesser known name like Moki...
