[…] Check it out! While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerpt I haven’t managed to get around to sorting through the photos I took whilst there with Klaus, Casper and Anette.

I had my video camera with me and took a few things. It is my first effort with iMovie, and probably doesn’t make much sense - it is just a bit of fun really.

Thanks very much for sharing that video - its hard to imagine if I’d ever get the chance to visit the Probat museum for myself so seeing just a little brief moment is a real treat.

I love the small batteries of sample roasters - that is what I’ve always wanted for my own setup.

Did you try to make a run for it with that five barrel sampler?

No need - we have a five barrel vintage Gothot coming later this month. Looks just like this one:

Vintage Gothot

It is in good working condition - just needs a little bit of love!
