Fresh Cup Magazine

  „They will be the first to notice a change in the taste of your coffee, whether you’re exclusively a retail roaster, a wholesale roaster or a little of both. If your once-dynamic French, Italian and espresso roasts have taken on a flat, burnt or baked aftertaste, you probably have a problem with airflow in the cooler.“

Selecting a Coffee Brewing Method

  „Neapolitan Flip: Originally a French development adopted by the Italians, the device is made of two sections, usually constructed of aluminum, with an area in between for holding the coffee grounds. I have seen beautiful copper and some stainless versions and I highly recommend these over the undesirable aluminum. The lower chamber is filled with water and put directly on the stove top to heat.“

CoffeeGeek - Solis Maestro Plus - Gary Miller's Review

  „ Coffee snob I'm not.  Besides what my wife and I like to enjoy in the mornings before going to work, I want a decent coffee (expresso, drip, or French press) to serve to my guests that compliments the dinner and or dessert.  Recently, in a blind after dinner taste test my guests (one owns a Rocky) requested regular coffee (drip).  Without giving any clues to what beans I had on hand I ground up some Starbucks Verona, Illy Medium Roast, and Tully's House Blend.“

CoffeeKid - Espresso Nirvana: Can it be Reached?

  „But by the 1880s, the Germans, French and Italians are experimenting with using steam pressure to force water to higher than 1 atmosphere (normal air pressure) to get more essence out of finer grind coffee. By 1905, the first commercial success - the Pavoni/Bezerra Ideale Espresso machine. This machine extracted a heavy coffee essence using about 1.5 atmospheres of pressure.  Was this the peak?“
