Last Saturday I launched a non-profit web project:
http://www.espressomap.com. It's a subjective map of the top espresso
in North America. Basically, I want to find excellent espresso when I
travel, so I made this Google-based mashup to do just that.
Cafes listed are either personally validated or confirmed through
competition-level baristi or trusted palettes.
Feedback is welcome, especially regarding the SE US, and Rocky Mtn
states.

You do realize that you can drag that map way down under to oz & nz and zoom
right in.
It's easier if you first zoom out till you get over where you want.
When I just tried I could see enough detail down lot outlines on the
streets. The sat is not quite that resolution though, back a notch or two
but it's come a long way from where it was.
Ok try this. Type 'auckland, new zealand' into the search box (that's about
where you are right?).
If you can convince Eric that you are a "trusted palette" you could get him
to add your locals :-)
There it is already set up just waiting for you to give him the details

last I heard Barry was in the final stages but not there yet, so it's a bit
much to expect it to be on the map yet ;-)
Diedrich's Kean Cafe is also missing and I'm sure there are many others.
But it's a good start.

I've never made any effort to publicize my place. Folks who
mysteriously find themselves in southern WI are welcome to email me
for the secret directions. Too many crazy people on the net for me to
give up the privacy. And people in my area into good coffee seem to
find me somehow.

I've just done my move and just done all the water pipes and drains.
Gee wizz you wouldn't believe the price of copper water pipes these
days. I think I paid US$25 for 12ft. Anyway as my new workshop came
complete with (now to make you 110V people dead jealous) 10 - yes 10 x
3-phase 220V 30amp sockets it was rude not to do the water and drainage
so that I COULD have at least 6 machines on at 1 go. Barista comp
anyone???

One day I'll find a reason to put a plug on the 3 phase 400V in my garage.

Never thought of a good enough reason to have 3 phase in the house, don't
need that big an espresso machine in the kitchen. A 2 group compact on 240
single phase is enough. ;-)

Great service. Good job!
Nice to see Boston finally has a worthy shop. It would have been
overrun by desperate espresso hounds during SCAA in 2003.
