2 of my commercial roaster friends who will remain nameless, but they have their own companies..........One is called Spanker (because he can at times tell *stories*), the other is called Scorcherer (because he spends too much time on the phone and misses the end of the roast.....you can guess what happens next) and they called me Spurt (because I'm a know it all expert). One Friday afternoon a few years ago, Spanker, Scorcherer and Spurt were debating whether it was possible to extract vodka through the espresso machine. That is, instead of filling with water, we would try vodka. Spurt accesses his vast knowledge base, performs a risk assessment and weighs the probability and impact too high - you guys are crazy. Spanker is a dangerous man - he can be very determined and as he only drinks vodka and coffee, this was driving his desire way too high. Scorcherer just likes to see what happens - always up for a good event. Spanker pulls an old mostly defective Sunbeam EM6910 from his shelves and offers it up as the sacrificial machine should Spurt's assumption be realised. to be continued...........
