That's why we love our machine so much, because you really do have to kind of harmonize together, to make sure that you can draw out the most amazing flavors, and the best aromas from those, you know, high-quality, expensive beans you're buying. You want to make sure that they actually get through that process, and become the best thing that they can be, and it's so much fun.”
