„Having tested the Italia out in Seattle last year, I concur with Nick, it is one excellent piece of machinery. Mark spent quite a bit of time with Schomer testing his machine and the stability is phenomenal. He said he can even get $bucks blend to taste good, at a surprisingly lower temperature--like 186 or something odd like that. At this time I would purchase it over the new LaMarzocco based on ease of changing parts, redundancy in the systems, and hands on work by the owner of the company.“

„My writing style until now has been technical prose, precise but evocative in its own way I suppose, and I have published at least 40 articles in Cafe Ole, Specialty Coffee Retailer, Fancy Foods, and Coffee Talk, all fine magazines dedicated to the bean. I have written a book and created a video, all dedicated to teaching the world the secrets of fine espresso.“

„Interestingly, Mr. Schomer is also known to say, "Forget espresso at home!" A single shot of "True Espresso," as defined in the specialty coffee trade, requires a precise weight of finely ground coffee (7 grams) to be tightly packed (tamped) into a filter holder so that hot water (not-quite-boiling water, between 195 and 205 F -- 88 and 92 degrees C; boiling water or steam will utterly incinerate coffee's delicate essences), moving under at least nine atmospheres of pressure (at least 130 pounds per square inch -- or some unknown number of ergs, Newtons, Joules or kiloPascals), will take 20 to 30 seconds to extract exactly one fluid ounce of the magical liquid. When everything is working perfectly, espresso dribbles out of the filter in a heavy stream displaying the consistency of warm honey. The Italians call this “coda ti topo,” tail of the mouse.“

„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.“
