CoffeeKid - Yet More Livia Talk! (#)
„The best Silvia shots I ever had showed very distinctive and full crema effects. The colour on those shots was a dark golden brown, though not as dark as Schomer preaches. The guinness effect was quite visible, and the shots would end up with about a cm of crema on a 1.5 ounce double ristretto pull.“

„More than 30 pounds shouldn't be necessary, unless you're compromising for a coarse grind (see below). Note, Schomer's commentary is based on commercial grade machines, but is a good rule for home machines as well.“

„With new grinder burrs in place it became obvious that we saw a great decrease in crema if the coffee got warm during storage or was used more than ten days after roasting. We convinced our roaster to deliver twice weekly and write the roasting date on each bag we bought. (Vivace did not begin roasting until 1991.)“

„If you're into espresso, it's a sure fire way to almost guarantee 100% crema on all the shots you pull, good or bad. Fortunately, we have a few more roasting tools to choose these days, but there still isn't many on market - maybe the next few years will see an increase in consumer roasters.“

„That is, if you serve double Ristretto (16 grams of ground coffee, extracted during a brew cycle of 25 seconds yielding 1.5 ounces of crema in the cup for example) , be sure to keep your grind and dosage constant to produce the same result. Do not push too much water through the coffee as it will affect your machine’s thermal performance. You will be surprised by what your thermometer tells you.“

CoffeeKid - Back in the Groove, after SCAA Boston
„I drink one of the two cappuccinos, but first I evaluate and stir the froth to see how the crema interacts with it. The froth must be world barista standard - super dense, little or no visible bubbles, and the spoon test must be passed - scoop up a demitasse of froth, hold sideways - if it falls immediately, too thin; if it doesn't fall, too thick. If it drops and drips after 2, 3 seconds (up to maybe 6), it's fine.“
