„If you are going to spend so much effort on making a fine shot of espresso, USE EXCELLENT BEANS. Two filters are included with each machine. My feeling is that the single shot portafilter is too small and completely useless. I use the double shot filter exclusively. The portafilter supplied with a La Pavoni is slightly smaller than the ones used in commercial machines. I find that 12 grams of coffee works for me. Falling loosely out of a grinder's doser, this amount of coffee will slightly overfilled the double portafilter by about 3 mm at the highest point. Grind and Tamping“

Gurus.net: How to Use a La Pavoni Manual Lever-Piston Espresso Machine by Daniel Ho - Introduction
„However, there IS a problem. Although the result of a perfectly pulled shot is pure heaven--a badly pulled shot is undrinkable drek!Despite carefully going through the plethora of material currently available on the Web, and my espresso books, I just couldn’t make drinkable espresso with my La Pavoni. Being a geek, once something like this gets a hold of you, you just can’t think about anything else let alone giving up!Embarrassingly, it took me almost a solid week of spare time thinking about espresso, making a mess in the kitchen (my wife is VERY happy about this...), making people crazy with my incessant e-mail questions, buying a new espresso grinder, and about 5 pounds of various beans to work out how to make good espresso with my La Pavoni. This site is the distillation of my efforts. You will have to practice, but hopefully this will make your learning curve less formidable.If you find this helpful, feel free to send me beans worthy of the magic machine or any other coffee paraphernalia to support my caffeine habit. For those of you feeling even more generous, you may wish to donate to my retirement fund. With all the time wasted on playing with the machine and working up this site, I have a LOT of income to make up...people have always suspected it, but now they have proof that I've finally lost it!Anyway, here is my story…NEXT...>“

„HO CHI MINH CITY - The improvement in the prices of coffee beans is giving hope to Vietnamese farmers who have suffered steady losses over the last five years. Coffee growers faced lean times last year as oversupply on world markets saw prices plunge.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Coffee Trader : A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
„You can imagine what kind of effect raw coffee beans would have on the virgin system. As Daniel begins to have one menacing conversation after another, it is hard to tell whether there�s real danger involved or whether he�s just flying close to paranoia on caffeine. �The Coffee Trader� works well in its descriptions of a time, place, and culture, but less well as a coherent mystery.“

„When you walk into a specialty coffee shop, a coffeehouse that sells coffee beans -- or even a grocery store with a wide variety of whole-bean coffees -- you'll probably spot an enticing display of coffee beans. Usually, they'll range in color from light to dark brown, with names like French roast, Ethiopian, espresso roast, and even designations such as "house blend" and "Christmas blend." Knowing a little bit about the origins of coffee beans and how they're harvested, roasted, and named can help you choose the bean that's right for your cup.“
