„As summer's mercury soars, we seek out icy drinks to slake our thirst. Your home espresso machine can be a key ingredient in creating flavorful summer coolers and cocktails-so don't leave it languishing on the counter. Giorgio Milos, an instructor at illycaffè's University of Coffee in Trieste, Italy teaches baristas from all over the world how to prepare the perfect espresso and cappuccino as well as a host of iced specialty drinks and cocktails. Giorgio recommends, "Make your espresso fresh for iced drinks, as coffee oxidizes after several hours.“

„Making espresso means extracting maximum flavor from coffee using minimal hot water. That requires forcing water through the coffee under high pressure. The result is an emulsion of flavorful and aromatic oils combined with other chemical elements and suspended gas bubbles, giving you the concentrated flavor, velvety texture, and crema (foam) that distinguish true espresso.“

„The greater pressure exerted by the machine, the more uniform the grind needs to be. Small steam-pressure machines will make a reasonably flavorful espresso with a relatively inconsistent grind of the kind produced by inexpensive home grinders. The larger pump and piston machines require a much more uniform grind, which can be produced only by a commercial grinder or by one of the more expensive specialized home espresso grinders.“

„Even when it didn't clog, while the shots produced had a nice looking head of crema, there was still less crema than what my Krups makes and therefore the shots were less flavorful. The Capresso support staff indicated to me that the clogging problem is due to the use of oily coffee beans, and instructed me to set the grind to the coarsest setting and to stir the beans during the grinding process. If you ask me, this greatly defeats the purpose of a machine that's supposed to be largely automatic, and the coarse grind may have accounted for the decreased strength of the shot. Anything but the coarsest setting would result in frequent clogging.“

„With varying degrees of programmability, automation, complexity, and ingredient storage capacity or refrigeration, they start at about $500 and top out around $2,000. Reviews of espressobots that hae been posted on the newsgroups are encouraging. These units are definitely gaining in popularity which means there will be more choices in the near future, perhaps leading to lower prices. Brief Interlude For Shameless and Gratuitous Promotional Message: Once again, I cordially invite manufacturers or distributors of super-automatic home espresso equipment to ship me sample machines for objective evaluation.“

„In order to achieve a flavorful cup, you may have to use more. I find that with many home pump and piston machines a single serving of brewed espresso with the proper richness only can be obtained by using the double filter basket rather than the single, and by loading it with a double dose of ground coffee.“
