how to spot a trend: it goes away
August 2, 2005 – 11:13 pmchris tacy says “call me a heretic.” ok. heretic.
part of the problem with his sudden about-face on the merits of the naked portafilter is that, well, a lot of us have gone and butchered a pricey piece of brass based on assurances from folk like him. we’re not all cash-laden entremanurial multi-taskers, chris! also, there’s the matter of the insanely fine points of espresso taste that he professes to sense. one wonders if people like this merely switch to new toothpastes every now and then, partake of suddenly tainted shots, switch back to the spouted portafilters and proclaim their backsliddenness to great followings of bud-tied followers. we’re not all sommeliers with tongues of celia filaments tuned to marzipan, chris!
kidding, really. i love the dude’s blog because it makes me perpetually discontented with what i know and taste. and that’s one of the preeminent impetuses for a true junkie.
