An Introduction to the World of Tea (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„Why tea? If all you know about tea is Lipton’s and Celestial Seasonings, then you don’t know what you’re missing. There’s a fascinating variety of finely made teas from around the world available now that are fun to try, and they make the supermarket tea bags seem dull and two dimensional by comparison. Most mass-produced, commercial tea is made from cheap grades of tea, such as dust and tiny pieces, so that it will steep quickly, and produce a pleasant, if somewhat generic brew that will accept milk, sugar, or lemon.“

„What have 35 tonnes of liquid nitrogen and a giant £500,000 chopping machine got to do with freshly brewed coffee? First of all, don’t worry – we’re not adding anything strange to your cup. Quite the opposite.“

Tea & Coffee 02/03 - Espressing Their Opinions: Choosing an Espresso Machine
„But Babcock quickly adds, “If you’re overusing those machines, if you are making so many, so fast, then your temperature drops in the heads and you don’t have the proper temperature and extraction rates, the quality of your espresso goes down significantly, say if it drops under 195. So you want a machine that will hold that temperature. The other things that I look for are, of course, quality of the espresso coming out.“

„Ewan Reid, the effervescent Technical & Quality Director at Matthew Algie, bubbles into activity at the mention of tamping... "By tamping down the finely ground coffee in the portafilter, we're aiming to supplement the hydraulic pressure that will force water through the coffee to make real espresso." Hydraulics? What does he mean...? "We all know that espresso is about pressure" remarks Ewan "and to create a stable bed of ground coffee particulates we have to tamp.“

„One thing to realise is that we're not just talking about a typical Krups brewer here; nor are we talking about coffee maker that simply brews at the right temperatures. We're talking about a new brewing method; one that is new to North America at least. We're talking about a pressure brewing coffee system that borrows from both the auto drip world, and the moka pot world.“
