The Modbar is more than just sleek minimalism, you know. Itโs also got some pretty advanced pressure profiling technology hiding just below the surface. Itโs basically Hemingwayโs Iceberg Theory but for espresso. But much like an 18-foot marlin on the line of an aging fisherman, the pressure profiling on the Modbar is a beast not easily tamed. If you live in Chicago, though, help is on the way. This Thursday at Cafรฉ Integral, Modbarโs own Will Frith will be giving a presentation on the undercounter espresso systemโs pressure profiling.
Put together by New Gotham Coffee Community to celebrate five years of Cafรฉ Integral inside the Freehand Hotel, the event centers around a presentation by Frith, detailing some of the different curves that can be programmed into the Modbar. But this is an anniversary party after all, so it canโt just be educational. Following the talk, a latte art throwdown will go down, on Cafรฉ Integralโs Modbar of course.
The Pressure Profiling presentation begins promptly at 4pm and is free for all to attend. The throwdown starts around 6:30pm and costs $10 to enter, which can be done the day of. For more information, visit New Gothamโs official website and RSVP via the Facebook event page.
