Coffee: Resources for home espresso (#)
„You won't get any "crema" (the elusive "head" on an espresso, like on a Guinness), and the flavoris different in part because a French press doesn't extract using pressure, so itdoesn't dissolve various coffee compounds. (Here, it seems like you're ingestingthem in solid form, instead!) Many varieties of coffee bean taste good in aFrench press; it's particularly good at making a seriously earthy cup of CentralAmerican coffee. One does far better with a French press than a cheap espressomaker, until one is able to splurge for a Pavoni or a serious pump machine.“

Vietnamese Coffee (INeedCoffee.com)
„This does not fall through the holes in the filter and tastes great. If you are new to Vietnamese coffee, use a French grind since it is easier to get it right with a coarser grind.“

„Contrary to public misconception, the espresso process does not create a higher caffine drink. However, the other half of coffee production is the roasting. The Espresso Roast and French Roast bring more oils (and flavor) out in the beans. The roasting process, in turn, impacts the caffine content.“

How to Stereotype Roasters (INeedCoffee.com)
„Even if you plan to grind at home, use this test to stereotype the quality of the entire coffee operation. Same Style Of Roasting Does every coffee bean at the roaster look like French roast? A skilled roaster will know that every crop has a sweet spot; some beans are best when roasted lighter and some best when roasted dark. A Colombian may excel at a Vienna Roast, but roasting Ethiopian Yirgacheffe that dark is a crime.“

„The result is a slower brew and a richer cup of coffee. Although not as rich as the french press, the Chemex does produce a sediment free cup of coffee that will impress anyone used to the weaker taste of most auto-drip coffee machines.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„If the clerk doesn't know what you're talking about, look for a small pipe, usually about 1/4 inch in diameter and a few inches long, protruding from the side or front of the device. Some beginner-friendly machines may replace the conventional wand with an automatic milk frother (it looks like a small plastic cylinder protruding from the front of the machine) that sucks cold milk into one end and squirts out hot frothed milk at the other. These devices may sound wonderful, but in fact are fussy, demanding, and delicate. I would recommend against buying any machine that does not give you the option of replacing the automatic frother with a conventional steam wand.“
