CoffeeGeek - KitchenAid ProLine Espresso - Steve White's Review (#)
„ I team the machine with a Rancilio Rocky set on 11 for the successful crema using 14 grams of beans which brew 25-30 seconds upon which the flow begins to pale. The machine is most successful with custom ground beans, not preground espresso like Cafe Bustelo or Medaglio D'oro. I have tried Moak beans as well as a combination of organic 90% colombian and 10% french roast. I toyed with the machine for two months before buying a proper grinder.“

CoffeeGeek - Notes from the Road - a Coffee Trip
„The Barista comes with one of those spring loaded nightmare portafilters, guaranteed to spit out something that looks just like crema, no matter how crappy your beans are, how badly they’re ground etc. The first indication that this stuff isn’t crema is the fact that it disappears faster than the head on a warm Diet Coke. The second indication is, of course, the oh so bitter flavor of the beverage. This is in spite of ultra fresh beans (three days old) and a good vigorous tamp.“

„ 6:00 a.m.—Choy grinds beans for the two French presses she uses to brew her coffee, a practice her wholesale supplier strongly recommends. She fills two airpots with the brewed coffee, one decaf and one full-strength. The process requires at least four pressings to fill the airpots.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee: General Discussion, Freshness of Green Beans
„ The accepted life cycle of a green bean is usually about one year, and when a new crop is available, any coffee left over is then referred to as "past crop". How the green coffee is processed by the grower is also of great effect. Terms like "natural", "washed", and "semi-washed" are all used to describe different methods of cleaning and drying green coffee before it is bagged and sold. The drying method will also have great effect on the "life" of the green coffee.“

Matching the right grind to your brewing time
„No matter what coffee beans you use, the right grind for brewing great coffee depends on the brewing cycle of your coffee equipment. Dr. Brew recommends that if you don't know your equipment's brewing cycle, take a watch and time how long it takes for the water to pass through the grounds and fill the decanter.“
