If you do–pass it along!  Share your pictures and stories with us (just email)!  I’ll start:

Today Justin and I pulled some fabulous shots of Intelligentsia’s Black Cat (the conventionally grown blend), here’s a little sample of what we were getting:

See those stripes?  See that viscosity?  I feel so proud (especially because this particular pull was Justin’s)! Anyhow, my moment of triumph actually came when I frothed up some homemade almond milk for a Machaccino (my beverage of choice–more volume than a macchiato but not nearly big enough to be called a cappuccino).  It was as if the planets were aligned–I pulled a great shot, frothed up some liquid velvet, and started to pour…
