Tea & Coffee 03/04 - American Espresso: The State of the Rage (#)

„The home espresso phenomenon has a high-tech end too, where espresso enthusiasts both share and compete in their race to find the perfect bean, supported in its growth by a community of serious espresso on-line web sites including non-commercial sites such as the espresso top 50 web sites (www.espressotop50.com ); a web site dedicated to evaluation and discussion of espresso equipment for the home user (www.CoffeeGeek.com ); and David Bogie’s home espresso information page, (sovrana.com/minifaq.htm ) among many. There is even a growing community of consumers whose love affair with espresso is expressed in their personal web sites, including Columbia University student Dave Bayer’s personal web page favoring the Pavoni and other hand-operated tools, (www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/coffee.html ) and web-designer Fortune Elkin’s, Bread Coffee Chocolate Yoga, (www.home.earthlink.net/~frelkins/ ). The usenet newsgroup alt.coffee continues to be a web site of interest to consumers who have a special interest in espresso.“

The Gaggia Factory lever espresso maker tested - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„We tweaked it down to about 205 to 210F for the boiler temperature and the corresponding brew group temperature was an almost perfect 198 degrees(F). Unlike the Pavoni professional, previously tested, we could draw shot after shot without burning any of the espresso. It should be noted that the smaller of the two Factory models is not really king where steam is concerned. The bigger of the two models has more headroom in the boiler for more steam and therefore it steams milk more effortlessly.“

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

„For brewing methods using paper filters, minor inconsistencies in grind do not matter much. For plunger-style brewing, drip-brewing without filters, open-pot brewing, and espresso, all of which demand a more consistent grind for success, anyone who has taken the trouble to read this far will probably want the more predictable results obtainable from a good electric burr mill like the Capresso, Braun, Bunn, or Pavoni.“

„The machine's appearance is a plus: it made of attractive, gleaming chrome. The cup of espresso wasn't as snappy and bittersweet as the smaller Pavoni models. Cost: $650“

„Sadly, as his marketing efforts were unsuccessful, he became penniless and desperate. Then in 1905, Luigi sold his espresso patent to Desidero Pavoni for about Lira 10,000! “
