CoffeeKid - The Livia 90 Arrives! (#)

  „I also find that when we have houseguests or dinner guests, banging out 4 cappas is a bit of a stretch with the Silvia, at least at the standards I want to keep. Doing 4 cappas means that at least two of my shots are going to be sitting in their cappa cups for about 2+ minutes before I'll have enough milk frothed to "cap" them. Most people wouldn't bitch about this, and compared to cheaper machines or machines with smaller boilers, this turnaround time is pretty fast, but I want even faster, and that means commercial quality machines.“

CoffeeKid - Livia Kicks Silvia Out of the House

  „Plus I figured that for one time (I actually never do this normally), for one time only, I could hit up some of the retailers that have benefited from my positive relationship with them. In other words, it is no secret that Silvia sales have been strong with some online retailers because of the pages I've put up about the Silvia, and the words I spewed often in alt.coffee.“

CoffeeKid - Getting a Livia90...

  „And the machine I'm getting? Well, it will probably come as no surprise - I'm getting a Pasquini Livia 90. Jim from 1st Line is hooking me up and keeping me happy, and if all goes well, I'll have it to tinker with sometime early next week. 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.“

CoffeeKid - Frothing in a Civil Way

  „Not because they are putting down the art of frothing milk, but because it's so easy to get frustrated by it all. Frothing milk for your cappas and lattes really is an art, but it's an art that can be learned. With enough patience and finesse, even a stovetop steamer or a "steam toy" (one of those budget espresso machines you see at Walmart for $39 by companies like Salton and Delonghi) can produce great foam and steamed milk. That's right folks, you don't necessarily need a $1200 Pasquini Livia 90 or a $400 Rancilio Silvia.“

CoffeeKid - Cheating Miss Silvia

  „First, understand you have it lucky. Even with Miss Silvia's 20 to 30 minute real heat up time (without using these cheats), you guys have it good. The bigger commercial machines need at least 30 minutes, sometimes an hour or longer to totally heat up every single component to full operating temperatures. My Livia 90 needs at least 30 mins, and I still do some versions of these cheats.“

  „Is the Pasquini Livia 90 overkill? The Rancilio Silvia looks like an alternative. I am open to sugesstions.“
