Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„Or are you the type of person who needs a cup or two of coffee just to get your mental gears in motion?     Here’s what I evaluate upon encountering a new machine for the first time: Exterior finish (I prefer unpainted stainless steel.); placement and size of controls (Bigger and beefier is better than chic.); size and weight of filter holder (Bigger and heavier is better.); size of water reservoir; capacity and ease of removal of drip tray (Can it be removed without sloshing?); and the presence of a heavy duty grounded electrical cord set.     I would not personally own a machine unless it had this list of features: A cast brass boiler instead of aluminum; a brass steam valve that was carefully machined to operate smoothly; a preponderance of brass and copper tubing instead of aluminum or plastic; at least 1,000 watts of heating power; and an exterior finish that reflects the same quality as the rest of the componentry.     If I get a chance to demo a new unit I try to discern these things: how long it takes to come to operating temperature; if the water will remain reasonably hot during the length of the pour; how difficult is it to change to steam mode and how long does it take to produce useable steam pressure; and how long the machine takes to recover from steam mode back to brewing.“

JAMA -- Baler and Compactor-Related Deaths in the Workplace--United States, 1992-2000, May 16, 2001, 285 (19): 2441 (#)

„Equipment that compacts and bales loose solid waste materials into denser, more easily transported units is common in refuse disposal and recycling and is used routinely at recycling centers, manufacturing facilities, and retail and wholesale stores to compress paper, textiles, metals, plastic, and other material.* Persons operating balers and compactors can become caught by the powered rams of the compression chambers while using these machines. Risk factors resulting from these incidents have been identified through surveillance findings and results of investigations conducted by CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program and the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), a nationwide multisource reporting system for occupational deaths. This report describes the results of two baler and compactor-related investigations conducted during 1992-2000, summarizes surveillance data from 1992 through 1998, which indicated that some employers and workers may have been unaware of the hazards of operating or working near compacting and baling equipment, and suggests safety recommendations for preventing future incidents.“

We've Seen the Future and It's...Capresso? (#)

„Swiss-made, as are the other Capresso models, the C2000 offers a completely automated process for making everything from a short shot of espresso to two 16-ounce cups of joe. Also equipped with a burr grinder, this machine will grind, tamp and pressure-brew coffee, espresso, cappuccino and lattes with the flick of a switch. Among the features making this machine a real pleasure are an "extra strong" button for those times when only the strongest brew will do; a steady stream of steam at the ready for cappuccino lovers, along with hot water for those interested in a spot of tea; and a coffee spout which conveniently slides up or down to accommodate cup size. You can also select a two- or five-hour shutoff time for the machine and, even better, the C2000 cleans itself!“

Amazon.com: Books: Close to the Machine: Technophilia and Its Discontents (#)

„Ullman's world is filled with machine-like programmers drawn to the supremely logical world of software development, as well as managers who don't truly understand the technology or programmers that they are managing. Like a true techie, Ullman can easily convey rush of excitement when a debugged system finally *works* -- but unlike a true techie, she can just as easily describe the quirky, mechanical personalities of the people working "close to the machine(s)." Throughout, she intersperses some thoughts about her career, ranging from the stress of keeping up techno-savvy hot-shots, to the risks of working for startups, to the real impact "virtual companies" on society. Ullman's style was witty, insightful, and a joy to read -- I easily devoured this book in one day. In the end, this book is more about people than it is about technology, so I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in the human side of the technology equation.“

„With the addition of David Stork as third author, the second addition re-presents the basic theory, illustrated with some beautiful and complex figures, and knits it neatly with an exposition of neural networks, stochastic methods for posterior determination, nonmetric classification (tree search and string parsing), and clustering. Chapter 9 is a particularly interesting review of the recent machine learning research making the point that, absent knowledge of a problem's specific domain, no one classifier is better that any other. This chapter also reviews solutions to the problem of training on too-small samples including the Jackknife and bootstrap methods, and newer bagging and boosting algorithms popular in data mining applications. Each chapter is well-designed, with a summary, many exercises (including computer exercises), and references to the literature (typically 50-100) including many recent references.“

Tea & Coffee 11/02 - Choosing A Roasting Machine? The Experts Speak (Cont) (#)

„We have supplied people out in the ‘outback’ or deep in the hills somewhere that simply blows the chaff outside and doesn't even bother with a chaff collector. But, on the other hand, we have supplied one machine into the basement of a house, with an afterburner and even had to poke a hole through the ceiling into the space under the owner’s king size bed, in order to get enough clearance for the loader of the roasting machine. Now it made no sense to me to install a roaster in the basement of a residence, but this guy built quite a business there until the neighbors stopped him because of the huge delivery trucks bringing green coffee to the house. They didn't mind too much about the UPS guy there every afternoon for pick-ups, but the twice weekly an 18 Wheeler on a residential street became a little too much.”“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„The first European patents for steam-pressure coffees machines were filed between 1821 and 1824. A variation of the method was first applied to a large caffe machine by Edward Loysel de Santais in 1843. Santais's machine wowed visitors to the Paris Exposition of 1855 by producing "two thousand cups of coffee an hour." Santais's machine brewed coffee a pot at a time, however, and used steam pressure, not to force the brewing water directly through the coffee, but, instead, to raise the water to a considerable height above the coffee, from whence it descended through an elaborate system of tubes to the coffee bed. The weight of the hot water, not the trapped steam, applied the brewing pressure.“

„Melitta currently gives us the choice of only four unflavored coffees for use with its attractively priced little machine, all of them mediocre based on my tasting (ratings 79 through 81). The Flavia gives us slightly more choice - eleven non-flavored coffees, according to the order sheet that came with the machine - but, again, all of these coffees come from the same distributor, if not the same roaster, and none the eleven were particularly impressive in the cup. (I was excited to see an Ethiopian Sidamo offered among the Flavia coffees, an origin I particularly admire, only to find a rather bitter and faded parody of a Sidamo bubbled out of the machine.)“

„The not-so-admirable reason: Removing mucilage by machine is easier and more predictable than removing it by fermenting and washing. Unfortunately, machine demucilaging has been accused of limiting the taste palate of coffee by prematurely separating fruit and bean. By eliminating the fermentation step, the practice definitely robs mill operators of the most important expressive option they have at their disposal to influence coffee flavor. Furthermore, the ecological criticism of the ferment-and-wash method increasingly has become moot, since a combination of low-water equipment plus settling tanks allows conscientious mill operators to carry out fermentation without polluting.“

„Lime scale and other hard water mineral buildup (including mineral calcium) can destroy equipment, in particular it will build up on heat coils that have contact with water.

So I thought we should offer Urnex Activated Descaler too.

History of Coffee from Coffee Universe (#)

„Coffee was declared the national drink of the then colonized United States by the Continental Congress, in protest of the excessive tax on tea levied by the British crown. Espresso, a recent innovation in the way to prepare coffee, obtained its origin in 1822, with the innovation of the first crude espresso machine in France. The Italians perfected this wonderful machine and were the first to manufacture it. Espresso has become such an integral part of Italian life and culture, that there are presently over 200,000 espresso bars in Italy.“

The pulp is washed away with water, usually to be dried and used as mulch. The beans are separated by weight as they are conveyed through water channels, the lighter beans floating to the top, while the heavier, ripe beans sink to the bottom.“

„This article applies to the Gaggia,Silvia and similar solenoid equipped machines. First of all, DO NOT BACKFLUSH an espresso machine that is not equipped with a solenoid. BAD things can happen. Yes, there are some manufacturers of solenoid equipped machines who do not recommend backflushing for their consumer machines, but the general agreement among the pros is that there are definite benefits in doing so.“

„The motor, which had numerous applications because it could operate on both alternating and direct current, ultimately paved the way for the formation of The Hamilton Beach Manufacturing Company in 1910. One of the team’s first products – the Sew-E-Z home motor – was an interchangeable tool that could be used to operate a wide variety of appliances, from a sewing machine or grinder to a fan or cake-batter mixer. Thanks to the Sew-E-Z, consumers across the country could spend less time on everyday chores such as sewing and baking.“

„However the system had a disadvantage: the passage of the steam through the ground coffee gave the resulting beverage a bitter, "burnt" flavour.To alleviate this, in about 1938, Cremonesi perfected a rudimentary piston group operated by a horizontal lever, and adapted it for a coffee machine.After several modífications it was finally used in 1946. The system took hot water from the pressure boiler, forcing it through the filter containing the coffee by means of the spring-loaded piston. This created a pressure of 10 atmospheres.“
