CoffeeKid - Riley's Coffee and other assorted news (#)
„Barry Jarrett, proprietor of Riley's Coffee and Fudge , recently sent me two half-pound samples of his customized blends to try out. The short and sweet version is that both absolutely rocked my Pasquini Livia and Solis Master Digital 5000 machines. The last time I had pre-roasted coffee this good was when I brought home two quarter pound blends from David Schomer's Espresso Vivace cafe. In fact, it is a very rare occasion when I have a pre roasted blend in the house that surpasses the cup quality and aesthetics my own home roasting gives me.“

I like dealing with Jim, and there's only one thing I wish was different about his company - I wish he was in Canada so I wouldn't have to pay the duties and such on this darned thing.“

Well, the Nuova Simonelli filter baskets I got with an Oscar (not pictured), weren't very good - very shallow and a weird dispersion pattern for the filter holes.“

„By definition, a semi auto machine is one that can automatically pump water at required pressures through a machine; it also maintains boiler temperatures. Machines like the Rancilio Silvia, Pasquini Livia 90, and ECM Giotto are semi auto espresso machines. All are good, great machines even, but all are missing certain elements. Here's the dream semi auto espresso machine:“
