Now you're reminding me of this story:
Two Zen monks were once traveling together when they came to a stream widened by recent rainfall. By the bank stood a beautiful young woman dressed in fine clothes. She obviously wanted to cross the water but was distressed at the prospect of ruining her finery. Without hesitation one of the monks offered to carry the young woman across the stream on his back. She gratefully accepted his kind offer. The monk helped to hoist her up on his back and without more ado carried her across and put her down on the dry ground.

The two monks then continued on their way, but the other monk started complaining. "It is not right to touch a woman, especially one so young and lovely. It is against our commandments to experience close contact. How could
you go against the rules for monks?"

The monk who had carried the woman walked along silently for a few minutes before replying. Finally he said, "I set her
down by the river, but you are still carrying her."
- Dick Sutphen in "The Oracle Within"
It's going to be alright.

Cool. I didn't know there was a queen.

I think I'll do fine. How much pressure do you use on the portafilter?

She hasn't really settled on an e-playa name, but was gifted a tiara last year, so...it was either EspressoQueen, or JOLT.. dark blonde hair in some of the pics , wife of many years :D comment by previous camp mate: you two can't be married you are having to much fun!

pressure somewhere around 100 million micropascals ~140-150 psi on the big machine, closer to 160 on the smaller one.

AND, the best part, you don't have to learn how to froth milk or any of that shit.....just naked espresso...hot straight and black

We are leaving the nuclear machine at home......Actually the cooling tower gets imploded May 21. watch it live on CNN(probably)

Of course if someone asks, and begs, and sez you gotta froth my soy milk for a frothy mocha... BOOM . We just put it under the frothing wand, open it wide and blow the shit all over!

One last comment...I meant when you tamp the espresso. Some places are very specific about how much pressure to exert. Hell, I've seen them put a scale under the filter when they tamp in order to make sure they hit 50lbs of pressure.

a lot...of pressure......depends on coffee oil, grind, humidity, temperature, etc. basically, if there is not enuff crema, and the shot is fast, like 15 seconds; then you gotta push and twist harder to make it take longer.

the scale thing is techno-baffle
