Turning a corner.

We at Wenzel have two espresso machines that we use on a regular basis. There's Nancy, our prized Rancilio, and Old Guido, our Gran Gaggia. Old Guido is better used for cappucinos, but every so often generates a healthy crema on an espresso. Nancy however, produces fine espressos, though she requires a little more start up time. Yesterday, Wenzel writer and self-profressed Cafe Kimbo antagonist, Bassano del Grappa, turned Nancy on and then got called away. Forty-five minutes later, del Grappa returned to make his espresso, and declared that Nancy had finally produced a Kimdo worth drinking. Espresso is a fickle mistress, each brand requires its own proper temperature and pressure.
