Coffee: Resources for home espresso (#)
„You should emulate espresso's extraction temperature, by letting the just-boiledwater cool a bit before use. You could also emulate espresso's flavor isolation,by quickly brewing a generous quantity of coffee. However, the French press isbest understood as a different beast. In particular, one brews a coarser grindfor a longer time, with a less concentrated result.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Recall that the heavy body and rich flavor of espresso coffee is achieved through pressure and resistance: pressure by the brewing water, and resistance to that pressure by a uniform layer of compressed, ground coffee. The hot water, under great pressure, does its best to push its way through the layer of ground coffee, but owing to the resistance of the finely-ground and highly-compressed coffee, it cannot succeed until it has saturated every grain of the coffee, extracting the coffee's entire flavor and perfume almost instantly, and delivering it intact into the cup. This perfectly poised opposition of pressure and resistance is at the heart of the espresso brewing system.“

Tea & Coffee 11/03 - Is Espresso Good for Coffee?
„Plus the scales would become apparently tipped toward the roaster and farmer, who are the ones that really control the flavor of brewed coffee once the basics of brewing are covered. With espresso, though, there are hundreds of details over which obsessive types can obsess about, and that is really the whole point, at least when it comes to home espresso.)“

„Water temperature for brewing should be between 195° and 205°F to assure optimum flavor extraction. Bring water to its first rolling boil and then let the kettle rest for about 30 seconds. You should add the water bit by bit --adding it all at once can lead to underextraction.“
