CoffeeGeek - Bodum Santos Electronic - Eric Larson's Review (#)
„(Note: Cleancaf came with my new Rancilio Sylvia, which was purchased after a coffee strength dispute with my wife. She likes weaker coffee, busted me adding additional coffee to the basket at night. Anyway two of the packets had broken open, so decided to try it out on the Utopia.)“

„This temperature cycling between the low and high temperature limits of the dead band produces varying brew head temperatures. Water temperature can range between 210 and 240, whereas you want something around 220 at the brew head for good espresso extraction. (Note that 220 at the brew head doesn't mean you are extracting at 220, but there is a 20 degree heat loss through the "puck" of compressed coffee grounds.) The good news is that during the shot you only have a 2-4 degree range, so the idea is to start your espresso extraction at the right point in the cycle. There is a simple timing technique you can use with the Silvia to brew in the right temperature range every time.“

CoffeeGeek - A Tale of Five Tampers
„Using the Reg Barber tampers is a joy - it fits the hand well, the thickness of the tamper is just the right size to "level" it with the top of your filter basket for making perfect doses of coffee, and it looks damned good doing it. The tampers are in the flat style, which all the others in this roundup don't follow - they all feature convex bases. I'm a firm convert to the convex style of tamper, which makes the Reg less than ideal for my style of tamping. Still, it is a first rate tamper, and as long as Reg has fixed the logo placement issues, it is very much worth the money.“

„A true benchmark machine, this machine made Rancilio a lot of money in the past four years - it has become the standard against which all other consumer, single boiler machines are measured against.“

CoffeeGeek - Mazzer Mini Electronic - Chas Rimpo's Review
„In addition to replacing the doser with a fancy conical “funnel” to drop the grounds directly into the PF basket, the big selling point, and the reason for the $200 price premium relative to the Mazzer Mini, is the programmable doser feature. There is a single grind button and a double grind button. The idea is that one adjusts the single shot doser screw for the correct amount needed to product a single shot of espresso.“
