CoffeeKid - About this Site (#)
„CoffeeKid became what it was because back in 1997, there weren't many sites online that had good information about coffee and espresso. Even back then, the venerable Sweet Marias didn't have a proper website - at least not one at the current domain name. Trying to find info on home roasting, espresso, or my machine of choice in those days (Rancilio Silvia) was an exercise in futility.“

CoffeeKid - The Espresso MiniFAQ
„As you can see from the previous question, I believe tamping with a certain amount of force is a crucial part of the crafting of a quality espresso. My own sweet spot is that 25 to 30 pounds of downward force. I've tried every variety of tamping pressures (or lack thereof), and found that a 30 lb tamp, combined with a grind fine enough to produce a 25 second 3 ounce double espresso is as near to perfect as you can get.“

CoffeeKid - Guide to Espresso Machines
„This moniker is given to the machines out there sold as "espresso machines" which are in fact not true espresso machines in the modern sense of the word. They're easy to spot - they usually have a screw down top, feature a 4 cup carafe for your brew, and usually cost under $60 or so. These are electrically maintained "moka pots" in that they brew with steam pressure only (about 1.5 BAR maximum) and do not produce a modern day authentic espresso. Avoid unless your only concern is milk-based drinks.“
