CoffeeGeek - Why I Hate Home Espresso; Why I Love Julie (#)

  „But I digress: I've never really been a fan of the home espresso machine. In the past I used to gripe about the quality of construction, the heft of the portafilter and the lack of pure pleasure that comes from using a real tool vs. a Fisher Price toy.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Machines and Grinders, nespresso

  „This system is much simpler than the Nespresso-Cap's (Cialde-Tabs are quite similiar to tea-bags) and nearly any Epresso-machine can be adapt to the system - in most cases you need only a special Portafilter or even only a own Basket which keeps the Cialde Tab in position.“

CoffeeGeek - Nespresso Espresso Machines - Marinos Savvides's Review

  „The machine heat ups very quickly (less than a minute) and a red indicator shows you that it is ready to make your first cup of coffee. You then just insert the Nespresso capsule in the machine’s portafilter (capsule holder), press the button either for a single or double dose and there you go... The coffee is rich with a lot of crema and aroma. You can quickly make a second, a third and so on cup since the machine remains “ready” all the time.“

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.“

CoffeeGeek - An Espresso Glossary

  „Tamper: the device used to tamp a bed of loose, finely ground coffee in a portafilter, in preparation for brewing espresso. Most espresso machines include a plastic tamper as an accessory, and after market tampers can be bought. They are measured in millimeter sizes, corresponding with the filter basket internal diameter of your espresso machine.“
