Coffee: Resources for home espresso (#)

„This mill grinds more uniformly than any previous mill in myexperience, and one must adapt one's brewing technique accordingly:One gets more flow through finer grounds than with a mill thatgenerates irregularly sized particles. (Mathematicians refer to thissort of thing as the sphere-packing problem.) This mill mightbe the answer to coaxing better performance out of feable low-end pumpespresso makers, for with these grounds, one gets great espresso andgreat crema with less pressure. It grinds at a lower rpm than cheapermills, and makes a more pleasing noise while doing so. I've had noproblems with static electricity charging my grounds.“

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

„Pump and piston espresso machines require a more expensive espresso burr grinder that allows you to modulate the fineness of the grind to match the pressure exerted by the brewing water. For committed espresso fanatics and owners of home pump or piston machines, these sturdy, reliable grinders are a necessity. For the general coffee enthusiast, they can grind coffee for all brewing needs. Most of the machines in this class are strong, well-made appliances that cost from $100 to $300.“

Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé 22 (#)

„The pressure rig I put in the head, (a gauge attached to a porta-filter, there is no pressure gauge on the machine) shot up to 14 bar, against a blind filter, after about 10 seconds. The gradual rise in pump pressure assures a very nice pre-infusion of your espresso coffee. As we have a machine with full pressure and, a professional weight porta-filter, and reasonable temperature stability all of my published professional techniques apply to using the Giotto in your home. The Steamer Drawbacks include the steam pressure.“

„The Pump-operated Espresso MakerUse fine ground coffeeThe ultimate coffee maker for black-coffee drinkers is the pump-operated espresso maker, invented by Gaggia in 1946. It uses an electric pump to force not-quite-boiling water through the ground coffee at high pressure. It can be used to make espresso or medium strength coffee.The coffee made in this machine is much sweeter because the water is not boiling.“

A New Tradition : Chocolate Coffee Cake (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„I particularly enjoy the coffee from a stove top espresso machine because it seems to make some many different blends of coffees always end up very rich and aromatic. And because it uses a larger volume of water for brewing, your demitasse is somewhat larger than a shot of true espresso from a pump driven machine. The Cake Once you have conquered the espresso, you can turn to the cake. This is a variation between a sponge cake, a torte', and a brownie.“

Espresso Potential (#)

„Extraction time - Extraction time to fill two 1-oz cups should be between 25-30 seconds.  Despite the time the pump should be turned off if the espresso becomes slightly lighter in color.  The goal is to have a dark red espresso take approximately 25-30 seconds to brew with no change in color.  More information. “

„According to my research, pump models come very close to making espresso bar quality drinks. Each model reviewed offers a water chamber refillable while the machine is running, without any changes in water temperature or function, a definite advantage. The quality of the espresso may be attributed to the lower brewing temperatures, which range from 186ƒF.“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„Or tune into the coffee newsgroups for a few months.     Pump Factoid: The relatively inexpensive home espresso maker uses a motive device called a "reciprocating" pump. They're cheap, noisy, and produce very high pressure under ideal laboratory conditions. Don't be fooled by claims of ridiculously high pressure that appears in trendy graphics splashed across the machine’s packaging.“

CoffeeGeek - An Espresso Glossary (#)

„Different machines require different tamping methods. Steam powered espresso requires a leveling tamp, where piston lever, spring lever, and pump espresso requires a more compacting action. Some prefer a heavy tamping action (using 25 or more pounds of pressure), others prefer a light tamping action (less than 15 pounds of pressure exerted).“
