Espresso! My Espresso! An Ongoing Internet Novel - CHAPTER

  „My previous experiences with the sour and bitter pulls have taught me that my nose can talk to my tongue if I let it. This morning I allowed the conversation concerning the old Illy beans, and my nose told my tongue, "Do you trust me? Do you care about me? If you value our friendship you won't taste that!" My tongue trusts my nose.“

Home Espresso FAQ

  „(A matter of personal opinion, mind you, but I think Vivace's Dulce Blend is probably the finest espresso you will ever drink on this little blue planet. Sadly, this sensation is almost impossible to duplicate on the commonly available home espresso machine.) The amateur barista need not bother with such precision of measure or mass. Fill the filter, tamp the coffee, top it off, tamp it again. Leave about 1/4" space between the top surface of the coffee and the rim of the filter holder to allow for the grounds to expand when the column of water hits them.“
