  „This seems to be particularly evident as the pull nears its end. With the La Marzocco basket the crema remains darker throughout. The Crema in the shot is noticeably darker as well even after the pull settles down (the "Guiness Effect"). The output from the portafilter is noticeably thicker, resembling the "warmed honey" to which brewing espresso is so often compared.“

  „, and tried again with a grind set two clicks coarser on the Rocky. This pulled in about 22 seconds or so (time counted in my head this AM), it had crema that filled about 3/4 of the shots in the beginning, the crema separated in a beautiful upwards cascade of color and dynamic action, and the double was delicious. This straight espresso had just a hint of bitterness. The nasty acidic taste from yesterday's under-roast was gone showing that I had roasted past the acidic stage with this batch.“

Espresso Tamping (INeedCoffee.com)

  „The tamper should be made of aluminum or similar light metal and should have a diameter so that it fits firmly into the basket. Marzocco baskets are 58mm, so order the appropriate size. Without a flat packing surface you create indents which cause uneven extraction. You may order your tamper from Vivace's , which sells pistons of several different sizes to perfectly fit your basket.“
