Rancilio Silvia, Rancilio Rocky: Home Espresso Equipment at Sweet Maria's Coffee -Rancilio Miss Sylvia, Miss Silvia (#)

„This temperature cycling between the low and high temperature limits of the dead band produces varying brew head temperatures. Water temperature can range between 210 and 240, whereas you want something around 220 at the brew head for good espresso extraction. (Note that 220 at the brew head doesn't mean you are extracting at 220, but there is a 20 degree heat loss through the "puck" of compressed coffee grounds.) The good news is that during the shot you only have a 2-4 degree range, so the idea is to start your espresso extraction at the right point in the cycle. There is a simple timing technique you can use with the Silvia to brew in the right temperature range every time.“

Virtual Coffee: Taking the Guess-Work out of Purchasing a Home Espresso Machine (#)

„The process of making espresso requires certaintechnical capacities for both quality and for consistency. The generallyaccepted industry guidelines for professional espresso preparation are 130 lb.PSI (pounds per square inch) of water at roughly 195 degrees Fahrenheit, withthe goal of extracting 1.5 ounces of coffee from 7 grams of finely groundcoffee. To produce these same conditions in your kitchen is neither easy norcheap, but it can be done. With this said, cost is usually the limiting factorwhen shopping for a home espresso coffee machine.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„   Sherri Johns, of WholeCup Coffee Consulting in Portland, Ore., says that in her experience, iced coffee is different everywhere you go. In Italy, for instance, if you order a caffe freddo, you'll probably get a shot of espresso in a demitasse, served with a tall glass of ice and sugar. Another favorite drink in Italy is the caffe freddo shakereto, a shaken drink made with sweetened espresso and crushed ice. In Thailand and Vietnam, an iced coffee is more likely a drink made with robusta drip coffee brewed double strength and accented with sweetened condensed milk.“

ESPRESSO reaches the ideal temperature in just 5 minutes, and can be left on all day long without a second thought. The cup warmer incorporated into the upper lid allows you to bring cups to the proper temperature while the beverage is being brewed, thereby eliminating unnecessary waiting. Elegant and available in several colors, Gaggia ESPRESSO will never cease to amaze you with the quality of its coffee and cappucino.“

„At our shop, we have enjoyed this machine for over a month, and we have found that it truly excels at making excellent full-bodied coffee with a crema on the top, called Cafe Suisse or Cafe Crema. The espresso is excellent, especially the tall (lungo) espresso. But it is this slightly larger drink, 6 oz. in size with a think tan crema on the surface and rich buttery body, that has won us over, especially brewed with fresh-roasted Ethiopian Harar, or Indonesians like Sumatra, Sulwesi and Java.“

Espresso Tamping (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„After grinding the volatile oils that were previously protected inside the bean are exposed to the air, which oxidize and stale the coffee. This effect occurs immediately after grinding so it is important to tamp and extract the espresso as quickly as possible. The grinder should be activated for 15-20 seconds every time a shot is desired so that only freshly ground coffee is used. While grinding, preheat and warm the group head by turning on the pump for several seconds.“

CoffeeKid - The Espresso MiniFAQ (#)

„As you can see from the previous question, I believe tamping with a certain amount of force is a crucial part of the crafting of a quality espresso. My own sweet spot is that 25 to 30 pounds of downward force. I've tried every variety of tamping pressures (or lack thereof), and found that a 30 lb tamp, combined with a grind fine enough to produce a 25 second 3 ounce double espresso is as near to perfect as you can get.“

„You can't go more than 100 feet without running into another Starbucks. To say I went a little overboard with espresso based drinks after the move is an understatement. I was spending $30-$50 a week on lattes and espresso at Starbucks. Nothing against the independent shops, but there aren't very many and the few I've been to are more concerned with projecting an attitude instead of producing a quality beverage.“
