It’s eSpresso not eXpresso. If you are going to spend 2 grand on a maker and act like a coffee eXpert, learn how to pronounce what you are making. 🙂
Ahh Mikey. At the end of the day I’m just happy it tastes so good. That’s said I am aware it’s Espresso and not Expresso. It’s juts a bad habit from my pre-coffee knowledge days. I did update the notes above to acknowledge my error 😉

Hey Gavin,
Just a quick note that I love your show and came across your podcast from PhotoDojo site. Your podcast is packed with great info and I’m planning to take one day off and get the pencil and do some serious notes on business side. Go back and listen again and again.
Love it.
Cheers,
A
