„While you are learning the mechanics of the machine, eliminate this unknown factor by using a top quality pre-ground coffee. Illy espresso is probably the most respected Italian espresso brand in the world, a reputation earned by Ernesto Illy and sons for their work at the forefront of defining coffee quality. 8.8 oz can, pre-ground fine for electric espresso machines. And now we also stock Illy Normale in whole bean!“

„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:“

„What it lacks, like all home machines under $1300 or so, is separate steam boiler tank. You basically need to spend another $900 to take the next step up from the Silvia in home espresso machines, to light-commercial machines like the Pasquini Livia, Isomac, Wega, Exobar, La Marzocco, etc. So I hate to say it, but $500 for the Miss Silvia is a good deal! You can start doing decent home espresso with the Gaggia Espresso at $259, but it doesn't have this great stainless steel housing, and the level of finish of the Silvia.“

CoffeeGeek - 1st Line Wood / Steel Tampers
„1st Line is offering these new tampers in two initial sizes: 58mm (perfect for most commercial-grade portafilters, including those with Rancilio, Pasquini, Grimac, Isomac, Simonelli and other machine makers), and the 53mm size, which works great with Solis, Saeco, Spidem and other major brands. They are currently available in a flat bottom version, but curved bottoms will be available in the future, as well as other popular sizes.“

CoffeeGeek - Show Me The Money! in Espresso Machines
„In my business Coffee for Connoisseurs (website ), I sell 4 domestic espresso machines: the Imat Junior, the Imat Napoletana, the Rancilio Silvia and the Solis SL90. Because I'm an "Internet Only" coffee retailer, I tend to regard machines as interesting devices for consuming coffee, rather than big ticket items with big markups. My profits on any machine sale might pay for a weeks' petrol...just.“

„Another of six (yes, six) Isomacs I currently have in house. This one is a good leg up competitor on the Rancilio Silvia“
