labelous deficiencies observed
August 31, 2006 – 6:53 pmthis blog’s beef with equipment supplier extraordinaire chris nachtrieb is NOT that he plasters his business vehicles with espresso machine images — that’s rareified geekery that makes this blog look placid and erudite by comparison! no, we quibble with the guru’s newly birthed foray into specialty roasted coffee … because the packaging lacks a roast date:

comment say whaaaaa? this blog has long felt that there are only two kinds of people in this world — those who provide transparency in roasting dates, and those who do not … and we thought we knew which side chris was on. please, join this blog in a hearty “tsk, tsk.”
p.s. the espresso was fairly tasty — but that’s beside the point!

bummer. Maybe the other brands that they sell would have been upset if they sold their own stuff with roast dates.
like who, lavazza?
