CoffeeKid - The Espresso MiniFAQ (#)
„Today's espresso is a 1.25oz - 1.75oz beverage that is brewed under the proper conditions of 190-200F water, at least 130 psi of pressure which would force said water through finely ground fresh coffee, extracts more oils, aromatics, and flavor than any other coffee brewing method. A very opaque, thick and dark liquid, capped by red-golden dense froth, also known as crema is the result.“

CoffeeKid - Back in the Groove, after SCAA Boston
„2 double ristretti, brewed using two packs of 17 grams of coffee (32g total), extra finely ground, resulting in a total of 1 to 1.25oz of brewed espresso. (I make two of these, requiring two portafilter fills)“

CoffeeKid - If Someone Says I Hate Italians, it Must Be True!
„First up, I'm pretty jazzed to be getting a, of all brands, a Krups product soon. Yes, I said Krups! I'm not a fan of their coffee brewers (they brew too cold), but they have brought a Euro-product to the N. American market that is pretty damned cool - the Moka Brew coffee maker.“

Getting the cappuccino machine that's right for you? - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada
„Espresso, if you have read one of the many articles on the subject, is coffee brewed under high pressure by passing hot water through finely ground coffee. The brew pressure, for extracting espresso coffee from finely ground java, can be produced by a vibration pump, common in all home machines, a hydraulic piston manual lever configuration, or a rotary or volumetric pump, the likes of which are found in high end commercial machines.“

CoffeeKid - Press Pots and Drip Brewers
„I had the head technical troubleshooter at Saeco USA once tell me that coffee is "supposed to be brewed at 165F" when he was contacted about complaints that the Saeco Latte was brewing too cold. And once, I wrote Braun enquiring why their machines never seem to produce temperatures hotter than 180F at the showerhead (in the carafe, the coffee is closer to 175F), and they told me that their extensive scientific study has "proven" that 175F to 180F is the optimum brewing temperatures.“

CoffeeKid - Getting Caught Up, Pt. 1: Iron Barista, Barista Champs and more
„The deal was this - our two tasting judges would be "blind" as in they would not know who brewed what. Each competitor would get five minutes' warm up on their station, then have to pull a traditional double (2 cups, 1 to 1.5oz volume brewed per cup, 2 to 3 oz total brewed volume) as soon as the five minutes warmup was up. We'd serve the four drinks to the two judges - each judge would have one drink from each competitor.“
