Drinking espresso and eating gelato that is. Joel even got behind the counter at Aldo's bar and tried his hand on their machines. As nice as it was to be away from the shop, each time we went to an Italian cafe we wanted to just spend a few minutes pulling a shot, adjusting a grinder, and reworking a gelato case! We spent the second week in New York, doing the same thing we had just done it Italy, but in the muggy rain! We did take an espresso tasting in the Intelligentsia lab and were pleased  after the class "vote" on which espresso was the first choice, that it is the one we are currently using! At one point they brewed the same espresso two ways. Once at a temperature of 197 degrees and the second time at 202. Unbelievable what a difference 5 degrees can make in the quality of the crema and overall taste. 
A few additions to our gelato and espresso... In addition to baking our own croissants, we are also baking our own scones and making our own gazpacho. Our smoothies are now made of 100% fruit and juice, no powders or additives. Come on in and give them a try.  Gail and Joel
