Rancilio Silvia, Rancilio Rocky: Home Espresso Equipment at Sweet Maria's Coffee -Rancilio Miss Sylvia, Miss Silvia (#)

  „This temperature cycling between the low and high temperature limits of the dead band produces varying brew head temperatures. Water temperature can range between 210 and 240, whereas you want something around 220 at the brew head for good espresso extraction. (Note that 220 at the brew head doesn't mean you are extracting at 220, but there is a 20 degree heat loss through the "puck" of compressed coffee grounds.) The good news is that during the shot you only have a 2-4 degree range, so the idea is to start your espresso extraction at the right point in the cycle. There is a simple timing technique you can use with the Silvia to brew in the right temperature range every time.“

  „(Note: Cleancaf came with my new Rancilio Sylvia, which was purchased after a coffee strength dispute with my wife. She likes weaker coffee, busted me adding additional coffee to the basket at night. Anyway two of the packets had broken open, so decided to try it out on the Utopia.)“

  „If you've only been drinking Toddy coffee you're limiting yourself. Each brewing process creates a different result, just as each coffee has its own unique characteristics. I suspect that your dinner guests rave about it because they've not had properly prepared and served coffee, so they don't know any better. Toddy coffee does produce a consistent, easy to consume product.“

Tea & Coffee 10/04 - The Right Tea Equipment for Your Needs

  „Airpot Brewers: For a self-serve location, I like to brew hot tea into airpots using an airpot brewer. This type of equipment is ideal for the operator who has minimal staff and wants to brew a variety of teas in large volume for customers to serve themselves. I usually recommend that the operator serve a full variety of individual teas, but feature two to four unique teas that customers can serve themselves.“

  „There is no such thing as a 'fast' coffee brewer. A good drip brewer will turn out 4 to 6 small mugs of hot coffee in about 5 to 7 minutes. Why, you ask? The ideal rate of extraction and the brewing temperature are kind of tied together.“
