    • The Frisco H-E-B store will be built on the northeast corner of Legacy Drive and Main Street on land the company bought in 2016. The site is a mile east of a Kroger on Main.
    • The Plano store will be on land H-E-B has owned since 2012 at the southwest corner of Preston Road and Spring Creek Parkway. That location is about 5 miles from the company’s Central Market store in Plano.

    It's about damn time. DFW has been so starved for a decent grocery store; their first two months are going to be stupid busy. There are two Krogers within two miles of my house, but I'll drive the 20 or so minutes out of my way or make an extra stop on my way home for a real HEB (no offense, Central Market).

    Do you guys ever use beans that aren't explicitly labeled as espresso beans for espressos? 

    I've used plenty of single-origins and blends not labeled "espresso" with good results. Light to medium roasts seem to work better than dark ones (/no racist) for espresso, though (at least in my experience). 

    The great thing about HEB is you can experiment with a little bit of a variety of beans and find which ones work well in your machine and suit your taste.

  3. Three years into the relationship, I'm still loving my Barista Express but am thinking of upgrading to a dedicated espresso grinder.  I'll posit a few questions to the group, if y'all will allow:

    -Worth it? I'm looking at around $500 (the two that I'm narrowing it down to are the Vario and Eureka Mignon). Does a dedicated grinder produce a noticeable improvement in the finished product?

    -What are y'all grinding with?  FWIW, this would be strictly for espresso; I have a dedicated one for pour over and French press.

    So new release date of July 2.  I am definitely in for this in IMAX.  

    Imma probably definitely see it twice on opening day. On the biggest and baddest IMAX screen in DFW obviously.

    Does it automatically come on Texas toast or you sub out? Looks better than the other pic above.

    Sub. Nearly all specialty burgers are better on toast, I've found.

    Yep. Going with Texas Toast is a must, IMHO.
