CoffeeKid - Espresso Nirvana: Can it be Reached? (#)
„From that period to the end of World War II, the world knew espresso coffee as something that was more about making coffee expressly for you (one cup at a time), than the beverage we know today as espresso. Machines like the Pavonis, the Victoria Ardunio and others ruled the day. The bar remained the same, and was not to rise again until 1946 when Gaggia developed the spring piston system that produced an amazing (for the time) 60psi of pressure, or about 4 atmospheres of pressure on the fine coffee grinds, producing the world's first authentic crema-based espresso beverage.“

CoffeeKid - Newbies' Guide to Coffee & Espresso Equipment
„Even more impressive is that whole "better" thing can happen in your own home. If you're in these groups or similar ones, consider this your starter's guide to never going back to Folgers. But be warned. Quality coffee and espresso is a serious, and I mean seriously serious sinkhole of funds, at least for start up costs.“

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.“
