The generic pump-powered espresso manual - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„As I have said, this is not the best machine on the block but it is capable of brewing a shot of espresso with a rich head of crema and it is more than capable of foaming milk to perfection. In summary, your Starbucks Barista or Estro Vapore, Estro profi machine is very capable of brewing great shots of espresso provided you given a turn or two to this simple guide. Ask questions or e-mail if I have missed something or some aspect of this tutorial is not clear. There is a steep learning curve in the world of better coffee and espresso.“

Teach A Fish To Make Espresso (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„Last winter, Starbucks really started pushing their line of home espresso machines. At first I was reluctant to consider the purchase, since I'd had a $75 piece of crap Salton machine a few years prior. The Salton made a gritty sludge that resembled the robusta swill served on Miami Beach.“
