CoffeeGeek - Astra Gourmet G - Gregory Scace's Review (#)

„ But I couldn't froth milk while steaming, and steaming milk upset the Silvia’s temperature equilibrium, requiring a lengthy period for the Silvia to recover.  I knew that the double boiler concept was inherently superior to single boiler or single boiler with heat exchanger machines, but I didn't like various aspects of two small double boiler machines currently on the market and I couldn't afford a LaMarzocco 1 group.  So I decided to keep my eyes open for the next best thing - a single boiler heat exchanger machine intended for commercial service.  I didn't want to go the Isomac route, or buy any of the other e-61 machines since they all had small boilers and rather anemic heaters by pro machine standards.“

„Photo #1—Omega Controller CN77544 connected to RTD (1000 ohm/385.2). RTD is mounted in 1/8" compression fitting with Teflon sleeve, welded into thermostat insert for LaMarzocco. (not pictured: solid-state relay Omega SSR240DC25) Espresso Vivace is pleased to announce that in collaboration with La Marzocco engineer John Blackwell and technician Roger Wittmann, we have developed technology that allows us to pass the temperature barrier in preparing caffe espresso. Using this technology our brewing water temperature does not vary more than 3/10th of a degree Fahrenheit during brewing.“

„I just want a good espresso. And, as I have mentioned these machines are not going to challenge an expert in espresso preparation on a LaMarzocco for example. So in the gourmet coffee shops that have a strong training program the manual preparation will offer finer caffe espresso. The machines I favor, including the Cafina, do not contain any milk, but rather offer an external steaming wand so the operator can create a beautiful chiffon milk texture and pour rosetta for the finest presentation and mouth-feel in cappuccino.“

CoffeeGeek - Engineered Perfection in Espresso (#)

„*(To date the best espresso machines I have tested in regards to temperature stability are LaMarzocco semi-automatic (ongoing testing) and the Conti Twin Star (tested in 1995). These machines are stable to about a five degree range of error in the hands of an expert barista, but tend to wander that range during the process of extracting a shot. This changing temperature gives a mish mash of flavors and prevents the creation of a consistent flavor for your espresso.“

„He said he can even get $bucks blend to taste good, at a surprisingly lower temperature--like 186 or something odd like that. At this time I would purchase it over the new LaMarzocco based on ease of changing parts, redundancy in the systems, and hands on work by the owner of the company. Espresso machines have made an evolutionary jump.“

„Yes, ESI does a great job, sells top of the line equipment and takes care of the customer. I took the class offered by ESI on the LaMarzocco and the Franke. I was "qualified" to (and did) quite a bit of my own service, but also had a qualified service tech all the way out here in MI when I needed it.“

CoffeeGeek - Krups Pump Machines - Other - Carlo Macias's Review (#)

„After a while, my Gusto broke down (sob..).  After reading the Solis SL 70 review on this site, I decided to try it out without the pressurized pf and a LaMarzocco basket.  I couldn't be happier.  The Rancilio Silvia seemed like an excellent step up, but I couldn't justify the price.“

„Only pressurized brewing water held at a precise temperature through out the brewing cycle can come close to transporting all of coffee's sublime aromas into a cup. To paraphrase Signor Pierro Bambi, president of LaMarzocco, the goal is to preserve all of the aromas through the rigors of brewing.“

„To inspire confidence you must honor your posted hours, always. At Vivace this means two separate brewing stations each equipped with a LaMarzocco three group ready to go. If my machine breaks I have a back-up. I own fifteen coffee grinders to run two stores.“
