  „The great strength of super-automatic machines is that they grind fresh per order. The super-automatics I have programmed have made espresso that is rich, and free of bitterness, but lacking the sweetness that is the mark of the finest Northern Italian style espresso. They lack the sweetness mainly due to fluctuating brewing water temperature. And, as you know if you have read my stuff, most commercial machines suffer from this problem as well.“

  „In my experience...forgetta 'bout it. Starbucks is experimenting with super-automatic machines in their stores to address their talent shortage. (See my article Espresso for Restaurants regarding super-automatics.) It is a bit of a Catch 22 to build a larger company based on quality espresso. You need a manager, but only a few locations can generate enough money for an arm chair owner to secure the talent.“

  „It certainly beats coffee made by an untrained barista and also is better than the super-automatic machines I have tested. This machine does have the pump power to extract espresso at a full 9 bars of pressure. 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.“

  „Both Willem and I were disappointed by an overall lack of natural sweetness in these blends. If this were a tasting of espressos from other parts of the country, I might expect the excessive bitterness or sharpness to come from acidy coffees brought to too dark a roast, but this was not the case in most of these samples. My own suspicion is that some of these blends rely too heavily on coffees like traditionally processed Sumatras or other coffee types that are low in acidity but often sharply musty or mildewed. The musty notes, handled right in a blend and coupled with sweetness in the coffee, can add depth, character, and a sort of spicy chocolate to espresso blends, but some of these blends appeared to express a little too much of the bitter side of these creatively musty components.“

  „There are several much more expensive machines that testers have concluded really do out perform it. And David Schomer (sp?) would kill it for poor tempearture control by his standards.“
