DavecUK Verion I saw two Minima machines wrapped up ready for collection today, and by 4pm they had gone. One was for David Kidd, the other for someone else I the UK I think, which must have been you.
Verion DavecUK definitely me. Got my DHL import duty bill at 6pm. Hopefully delivered by 24th October but fingers crossed it’s earlier.
dfk41 Verion I received pick up notification but I have not received my Import `Duty bill. That is normally issued when it lands in the UK before it clears customs. The delivered before is a nonsense. They say that to give them 7 days in which to deliver it in case you live in a remote area!
Verion dfk41 I live in NW London, so hopefully on a delivery van and a swift journey round the M25 soon after it lands.
DavecUK View from Paolo’s Balcony, it’s 8:30 Saturday and Naples coming to life. No factory today (well I hope not) because it’s Saturday, but we were building something yesterday, hoping it will now wait until Monday.
MediumRoastSteam DavecUK - you got to have mozzarella di bufala while you are there. I’m sure @Paolo_Cortese can source some really good freshly made stuff. Just don’t have it with coffee. 🤣👌👍
Inspector MediumRoastSteam You are bit of a food connoisseur aren’t you :) Also definitely try Neapolitan 🍕 Enjoy your visit there!
coffeealex MediumRoastSteam Pizza, pasta, espresso, mozzarella. Hallmarks of the Campania region. Uá ma ch’é sta meraviglia? as a Neapolitan there might say.
MediumRoastSteam Inspector You are bit of a food connoisseur aren’t you :) Nah. I just eat anything put in front of me, and I’ll try anything at least once. 😊👍. And I just love Italian food… (amongst many other cuisines). 👌👍😉
Cuprajake You have too, best pizza I ever had at the foot of Vesuvius Now I own a machine made in the very region
MediumRoastSteam Cuprajake best pizza I ever had at the foot of Vesuvius Now I own a machine made in the very region And with the same name. 😉👌
coffeealex MediumRoastSteam (amongst many other cuisines). 👌👍😉 That is what I think is great in the UK compared to Europe in general. The diversity of choice of international food here is second to none
DavecUK I’m in the factory again today…Saturday! Playing with some ideas. Just me Paolo and Miguel (who almost lives in the factory) Paolo is his uncle.
DavecUK JahLaza the coffee in Naples is black as coal, I have a small double shot latte in the morning and that’s it. I am in coffee withdrawal.
LMSC DavecUK strange. They make great machines, but not coffee. I had 1 espresso when we went to Rome on 2018. Never had another one. This was long before understanding what it takes to make a good cup. ENJOY YOUR TIME IN NAPLES!
coffeealex DavecUK the coffee in Naples is black as coal and normally as thick as tar. They certainly like their dark roasts
coffeealex CoyoteOldMan I do like an Italian coffee, and my experience of coffee around the Naples area is that although very strong, it normally has a great full bodied mouthfeel with excellent crema, and is also a delight cutting through milk ( with some help from the Robusta side)
