Espresso! My Espresso! An Ongoing Internet Novel - CHAPTER (#)

  „Believe everything you hear about espresso being a mess. If a spotless kitchen is a priority in your life, I would suggest that you think about going out and buying your espresso at a coffee shop. If you brew at home there will be coffee grounds on the counter that spilled out of the portafilter, grounds will be all around the grinder, water will get on the floor when you remove the portafilter or the drip tray, you will drip coffee when you go to empty the portafilter basket, there will be coffee grounds in the sink, there will be two or three (or more) towels stained with coffee each time you brew (find some brown towels, now!), and you will end up with a sink full of cups, saucers, pitchers, shot glasses, and more.“

  „We all know that a steam powered machine, by definition, cannot make espresso. The point here is that we, as informed, educated espresso makers and consumers- we all need to continue to get the word out. As long as these companies can sell $75 machines and call the brown liquid that comes out of them espresso, then they will continue to do so and we will continue to be forced to pay inflated prices for the real machines.“

  „      For those who don't know, an Americano is a shot or two of espresso poured into a coffee cup of hot water. It's a way of making a nice, strong cup of coffee when all you have is an espresso machine. But beyond that, it brings the nuances and varietal differences that espresso creates to cupped coffee.“

  „The process is a good one because it is fairly fast and quite easy, taking only the time it takes to boil the water then four additional minutes to steep, the coffee is never boiled, the grounds all get brewed exactly the same amount of time, and the grounds are totally exposed to the water for an extended length of time as opposed to a drip machine where the water gets one trip through the grounds and that's it. The negatives are minimal- some amount of fine grounds end up in the cup and there is a bit of a clean-up to deal with in cleaning out the pot and the strainer.“
