CoffeeGeek - Saeco Magic Cappuccino - Douglas Engel's Review ()

  „At first I was skeptical of the pressurized filters but when I let go of my desire to produce the perfect grind, pull time and tamp pressure I found that the machine produces a good shot with nice crema with no work at all and that's fine with me. I drink cappuccino's so people that are focused on espresso alone may not be satisfied with the shots. The frother is small and insufficient for producing a really dry foam or frothing large amounts of milk. The pannarello frothing attachment is not worth the time it takes to clean it.“

  „Still experimenting with the expresso shots - I seem to get a pretty good shot using expresso-grind coffee with a very light tamp (the manufacturer recommends a coarser-than-usual grind for the expresso maker.)  Lots of crema, not bitter.  Going to experiment with a slightly coarser grind and a tighter tamp.“

  „How fresh is your coffee...how do you know your tamp and grind are perfect...humidity can affect the grind so it is a constent changing process...I used to go round and round with an assistant manager of mine..I would tell him that the grind was off...he would say no it is on setting number 6. I would then try to tell him that 6 might not be six all the time(did that make sense?) I use the numbers as refernce not as word. If your coffee isn't coming out at the proper extraction time your grind is off..or you are not tamping properly...learn to tamp and once you have that consistant never change your tamp and just adjust your grind.“

  „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.“

CoffeeGeek - The 3x Basket & The Elusive God Shot CoffeeGeek - The 3x Basket & The Elusive God Shot

  „The alteration to Schomer's techniques are to use the plastic tamper built into the Moka 90 grinder (a tamper that requires an upward force on the portafilter) to compact the grind and create enough space so that about 24 grams can be held in the 3X basket. The exact amount of grind will depend upon the timing numbers that are generated with the pulled shot or pour. Once there is 24 grams or so in the 3X basket, one will immediately notice the unevenness of the puck with visible air spaces.“
