I knew there was a good reason why I do not like cats. I am not a can opener. :P :wink:


Yeah, cats avoid people that have trouble opening tins. :twisted:

Cats don't avoid me, I avoid them. :roll: :wink:


They are VERY clever animals, indeed! :wink: :wink:

No, I expect they avoid you because they are, as you say, VERY clever. :wink: :D

Hi Lukas, it is great to see you around here. :D

Is that your M3? I looks lovely but not quite big enough for that cat. :wink:

Hi Lukas, I don't know what to admire more that Roaster or the Cat.
My old chocolate Burmese was like an automatic heat seeking devise.
She knew every hot spot in the house!

We have two cats and they're a real treat - lovely beings! The other one's black and not quite so fat ;)

It's good to be back and also good to be finally spending some quality time with coffee-related stuff again. The M3 is a mighty fine little roaster and worth every penny and the irrational fear I had to endure between payment and shipment (how often do you contact a random hotmail address and then transfer a not so tiny amount of money to the taiwanese account they tell you?).
