Tips on Coffee - Home Coffee Roasting: Romance and Revival; Revised, Updated Edition (#)

„After surveying the history of coffee roasting and the machinery invented for that purpose, Davids scrutinizes the world's coffees, comparing their varietal characteristics so that home roasters can anticipate which beans will produce coffees that best suit their tastes. His quick guide to home roasting methods clearly delineates the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, from the most expensive home roasting machines to simple stove-top and microwave oven techniques. Beginning home roasters may be surprised to find that one of the simplest coffee-roasting machines is a hot-air popcorn popper. Davids' clearly written instructions make home coffee roasting sound easy and should extend the process to a broad audience.“

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

„These small countertop apparatus incorporate a valve and wand for frothing milk and hold the ground coffee in a café-style filter holder that clamps onto the outside of the brewer. Like stove-top devices, they generate the pressure needed to force hot brewing water through the compressed bed of ground coffee by means of pressure exerted by the build-up of steam inside a little boiler concealed inside the housing of the brewer. Any countertop espresso brewer that retails for under $100 most likely works in this fashion. Used correctly, these devices produce excellent espresso drinks with milk, but will not produce a classic, stand-alone shot of espresso.“

Selecting a Coffee Brewing Method (#)

„I clearly remember this brewing method while I was an undergraduate student studying in Italy. The device brewing on the stove top was a comforting part of each morning. The method was fairly quick since the pot didn't hold more than 3-4 small cups of coffee but be prepared to experiment with the grind of your beans until you can determine the perfect grind to allow for the water to drip into the compartment at the proper speed. Now that I am more familiar with the correct brewing procedures, I believe the boiling water was not the best temperature for making coffee.“

CoffeeGeek - Nespresso Espresso Machines - J R's Review (#)

„ It took me a while to get the hang of it when I first got it years ago but after long periods of lack of use, I have to re-learn how to get it right each time.  I never could work the frother very well and stopped using it in preference of a stove-top frother I bought in Amsterdam (an extra step and more cleaning). Although the Gaggia has indicator lights for temperature, making multiple cups of espresso for entertaining was "iffy", at best, and often just useless to try. But, when everything goes right, it is superb.“

The Universal Espresso Maker Manual - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„Steam can scald and permanently scar skin tissue, cause injury and/or death in children and so on. Failure of the 'safety relief valve' of any espresso - cappuccino maker, stove top, electric or otherwise, can create an explosion hazard. I have seen an aluminum stove top espresso maker explode embedding the top components 4 to 6 inches through drywall! There is sufficient explosive force in any steam powered product to injure or harm bystanders or users of these products.“

Café de Colombia - Coffee makers (#)

„Both machines operate on the same principle where hot pressurized water is forced through a filter holding finely ground coffee. The stove top has two chambers with a filter resting between them. The base of the post is filled with cold water and finely ground coffee is placed in the filter. The top is screwed onto the base and the pot placed over a medium heat until the water heats and the pressure forces it up through the grounds.“

Amazon.com: Books: What Einstein Told His Cook: Kitchen Science Explained (#)

„One of them, how to make turkey or chicken gravy on page 156 is almost exactly the way I make it. (Smile.) Parrish uses the roasting pan, transferring it to the stove top burners after removing the bird, and then deglazes the pan more or less in the French style. I must note that on the previous page Wolke himself does not recommend this technique finding it "hard to straddle two burners" not to mention "one big cleanup job after dinner."“

This machine eliminates the shake shake shake; it still requires some effort but the taste is worth it. The best way to use this popper is to buy the packages of popcorn that have the oil and seasonings in one pouch; these can be purchased from popcornpopper.com.“

„The homeroasting method, using a fluid bed of hot air, provided a much more even roast than roasting in a skillet, or even in a stove top popcorn popper with an agitator. Tyros and hobbyists picked up on this, and started the trend towards homeroasting coffee again. Companies like Melitta and others brought out "first generation" automated home roasting devices.“

„I roast and grind small quantities of green coffee, grown on my estate, at least thrice a week," says Nandan. Small quantities of coffee can also be roasted on top of a stove or in an oven at 400° F. Home roasted coffee is more aromatic than that bought at the store, and its freshness definitely compensates for any small failings in the roasting procedure.“
