Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé 23 (#)

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. I estimate the pay required and justified for a QA manager is 40K per year plus tips and benefits.“

Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé 20 (#)

„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.“

„These units are definitely gaining in popularity which means there will be more choices in the near future, perhaps leading to lower prices.

CoffeeGeek - Baratza and Solis Bring You the Palazzo Super Automatic (#)

„Short Throw Travel Path: One problem with many Super Automatics is the long internal path the brewed espresso must travel to get to the cup. On the Palazzo, this pathway is very short - approximately 2.5 inches from the group to the dispensing spouts. The result is espresso that doesn’t cool down on the way from the group to your cup.“

„A few months back, Capresso sent CoffeeGeek two Super Automatic espresso machines at the same time via their vendor of choice, 1st in Coffee : the Jura Capresso Impressa F9 and the Jura Capresso Impressa S9. Lemme tell you, it was a true comedy of errors when talking both Capresso and 1st in Coffee on the phone about the two products.“

„I liked that my wife (who is not a mechanical tinkerer as I am) could just push a button and make a coffee. Super automatic machines are also a delight at parties because of this ease of use, and this one is easy to use and pretty reliable (except, ironically, with actual espresso beans, as noted below).“
