CoffeeKid - Espresso Nirvana: Can it be Reached? (#)
„Within this espresso section of the CoffeeKid site there is a mini faq, some thoughts and ruminations on my own opinions on what a God shot is all about, and much more. I hope you read, learn and enjoy, but I also hope you develop your own opinions, and who knows, maybe even come up with a new coffee-based beverage that may even make espresso, the modern day one, seem passe. And the road to nirvana will get just a bit longer.“

„Illy: Thank God for Illy. No other company does more pure scientific research, and no other company cares more about what makes espresso what it is than the Illy company. They share their knowledge with the world, and espresso technicians and espresso drinkers are the beneficiaries.“

„illy collection cups embody this fusion of science and art. They provide the near ideal canvas for a true God shot* of espresso (though they could be a bit thicker - check out this article I wrote on illy cups and thick porcelain ). And while there are bumps in the road (I have my own opinions about which cups constitute "art" and which ones constitute "art for art's sake"), illy really has brought about a tangible, visible fusion between art and science in espresso.“

„When you tamp with 20lbs or less pressure, you're increasing the chances of a phenomenon called "channeling". Water always seeks the path of lease resistance, and when you tamp light, or don't tamp at all, you run the risk of portions of your lose grounds compacting quicker than others, and water will go through the parts of the coffee that are the least compacted.“

„There are a good runthrough of various espressomodels in Rose Mary Furfaros coffeepage.Visit Coffeekid, a nice site with espressomachinereviews and more. Earlier I had an low budget steam driven espresso machine with which I just barely could make a decent cup of espresso with very thin crema. I then bought a Gaggia Tebe and it was another ballpark altogether, thick delicous crema without any trouble at all. After seven years my trustworhy Gaggia now has earned retirement and I´ve replaced it with a Pavoni Europiccola.“
