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

„Better to experience a perfectly-flavored small drink than an obnoxiously bitter large one. As you gauge the flow of coffee keep in mind that it will continue to run into the cup or receptacle for a moment or two after you have turned off the pump or shut off the coffee valve.If you use a pump or piston machine, brewing into a jigger, or bartender's shot glass, is a simple way of making certain that you do not produce overlong, bitter-tasting shots when you are brewing for frothed milk drinks. For a classic 1 1/4-ounce serving, brew the shot, including crema, up to the line on the glass.If your brewer does not have a mechanism for cutting off the flow of the coffee, you will need to improvise. If the design of the machine permits, use two separate coffee-collecting receptacles, one to catch the first rich dribbles, which you will drink, and a second to catch the pale remainder, which you will throw away.“

Virtual Coffee: How to Choose Your Barista (#)

„How do they tamp the coffee in the portafilter basket? Probably the skill that is most important for making good coffee (assuming the grind adjustment is right) is the art of the tamp; the act of flattening and compressing the coffee in the portafilter basket before fastening the handle into the machine to brew. A qualified barista uses a hand tamper and leans significant body weight (about 30 to 40 pounds) into the basket on top of the counter. If you see the operator just barely flattening the top surface of the coffee, he or she is an amateur.“

Sustainable Coffee (#)

„Most sustainable coffee is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides, making it organically sound as well. Care is also given to maintaining the integrity of the ground cover on the coffee plantations as well as protecting any nearby rivers which might interact with the liquid by-products of coffee processing. Sustainable coffee growers are also keenly concerned with the issue of deforestation, as many of these growers are in Latin America and in close proximity to rainforests which are clearly at risk.“

Selecting a Coffee Brewing Method (#)

„The method was fairly quick since the pot didn't hold more than 3-4 small cups of coffee but be prepared to experiment with the grind of your beans until you can determine the perfect grind to allow for the water to drip into the compartment at the proper speed. Now that I am more familiar with the correct brewing procedures, I believe the boiling water was not the best temperature for making coffee. To control this, you'll need to experiment and time the water to just before it boils and follow this guide for a good cup of coffee.“

BBC - h2g2 - Ways to Make Good Coffee (#)

„Apparently, the corners on some cups cause the froth to collapse.There are, however, some drawbacks to the pump-operated maker: The water is not quite as hot as other methods, improving the flavour, but can be too cold if milk is added. Although the maker normally has a steam attachment for frothing milk for cappucinos, this can't be done at the same time as making the coffee, because the water is not hot enough, so you must turn on the steam attachment, wait a minute for it to warm up and then froth the milk. It is easier to froth the milk by other means, such as a swizzle stick. The machine is slow.“

How To Brew Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)

„In a drip system, the contact time should be approximately 5 minutes. If you are making your coffee using a plunger pot, the contact time should be 2-4 minutes. Espresso, as the name implies, means that the brew time is short -- the coffee is in contact with the water for only 20-30 seconds. If the taste of your coffee is not optimal, it is possible that you are either overextracting (the brew time is too long) or underextracting (the brew time is too short) your coffee.“

„   However, if you make the effort to produce a proper espresso, you should select a blend that is consistent with the quality of espresso the customers deserve. Check the blend's performance drawing actual espresso (making brewed coffee to test espresso beans is a meaningless exercise). The physical properties, such as color, body and crema, and the flavor characteristics, such as aroma and taste, must be appropriate and in proper balance. Most blends focus entirely on flavor and perform poorly on color, body and crema.“
