CoffeeGeek - How to review Domestic Espresso Machines (#)
„Reading “We used preground brick packed XXXXX coffee from the Supermarket” is likely to cause me to hurl the reviewing magazine into the nearest wastebasket in blind rage! For each brand of espresso machine which can pass the basic benchmarks above there is a single combination of coffee, grind, dose and tamp which produces the best shot. Trying to judge espresso machines with preground brick packed coffee is like trying to judge high end sound equipment with downloaded MP3’s; not a realistic proposition. Any test which doesn’t use freshly roasted and ground coffee is simply not a reliable guide to an espresso machine purchase.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee Kids and the Man Behind It All
„Somehow, I was able to realize and confront the reality that coffee, the same coffee that I had fallen in love with so many years ago, the same coffee that gave me opportunity when it seemed the whole world had turned its back, the same coffee that was pulling me out of a financial abyss to a reasonable level of financial security... this same coffee was hardly as generous to the people who grew cared for and harvested it.“

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.“

CoffeeGeek - Brew N Go Budget Coffee Maker
„I also had some quality coffee to use - I was receiving regular "care packages" from my partner Vancouver and in those packages were a couple of pounds of coffee from Intelligentsia Coffee . I was able to test the machine with La Perla from Mexico, several Nicaraguans, a very tasty Tanzanian Peaberry and even some Black Cat espresso blend, which will do in a pinch on a drip brew machine.“
