Espresso Machine Porta-Filter (#)

„A note on cleanliness:  Although most porta-filters are black inside, they are supposed have a shiny metallic surface.  After one day of not cleaning the porta-filter coffee oils will accumulate, go rancid, turn black, and ruin any shot your prepare.  If your espresso comes out thin, white, and rancid tasting this is usually the problem.  Although most people think it is impractical, I believe it is important to clean the porta-filter, basket, and screen heads hourly.  To clean these components use tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) or Puro Caff and use a 1 inch square piece of a green brillo pads.  Scrub thoroughly, but quickly to avoid cooling too much, and rinse thoroughly.  While scrubbing the porta-filter, back flush for 30 seconds with the blind basket in place and a teaspoon of TSP for 30 seconds, and follow with at least 5 rinsing cycles.  If you have never cleaned your porta-filter before, place it upside down in a milk pitcher, fill the pitcher with water covering only the metal, add a couple teaspoons of TSP, and boil the water using the steam wand.  Scrub periodically.  This should get out the worst rancid coffee oils.  If all else fails order a new porta-filter.“

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

„They were worthy, they were dark-roasted, they were hearty and wintery, but they were, to my palate, a bit too predictable and repetitive. Either the darkish roast styles took too much out of the coffees, or in an effort to achieve a full-bodied, comfortable, sit-by-the-fire character, roasters chose to blend excessively comfortable coffees; i.e. coffees without much acidity, nuance, or excitement. Certainly if I had solicited seven breakfast blends or seven house blends I would have turned up coffees with more variety, and, probably, more intrigue.“

„How can you tell if you are at risk? Although I'm not a scientist, I do believe I can detect if you are consuming too much with a single question: When you are drinking a mug of coffee, do you ever start to think about that NEXT cup you are planning to have? If the answer is YES, then this should set off a warning that maybe you are consuming too much. If the great coffee in your mug doesn't have your undivided attention and instead you're off dreaming of the next mug, then in my opinion the quest for caffeine has exceeded the quest for quality coffee.“

Vacuum Coffee Brewers - Cona - Yama - Bodum Santos (#)

„The most important is that manual vacuum brewing allows you toinfuse the coffee and the hot water as long as you want. You simply keep the brewer on its heat source, and the coffee and water continue to brew in the upper chamberto increase the strength and body of the coffee (but not too much or you will get that acrid bitter cup!)But the electric models do not permit the user tocustomize the brewing times: you set up the brewer, hit a button, and stand back until the coffee is done (sounds alot like any auto-drip maker .and it is).“

This was a time in which much coffee was abandoned as cold, economic winds shriveled up the estates; work was neglected and stem borer and leaf diseases took over.“

CoffeeKid - Are Vacuum Brewers Different? (#)

„This combined with a rather short siphon tube leaves too much water in the bottom. This dilutes your coffee too much, especially if you are brewing a half pot. One other thing that bothers me about the Cona is the pour spout on the bottom vessel is really narrow - too narrow even for my special vac pot brush, a question mark-curved bristle brush designed specifically for vacpots with narrow necks and wide bellies. If this brush doesn't fit, that Cona's mouth is really narrow.“

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

„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.“

„You allow this to steep for four minutes then gently press the plunger downward. If you have to press hard then you ground the coffee too fine or your grinder creates too much coffee dust. The plunger pushes the strainer to the bottom of the pot, straining out all the grounds and leaving a wonderfully delicious and rich pot of coffee. The strainer is a fine-mesh metal screen so there areno paper filters to replace or to taint the taste of the coffee.“

„At this stage in the development of our budding American espresso culture we frequently are using stale coffee, in dirty espresso equipment and forcing way too much water through coarsely ground coffee in an attempt to make a big cup. Combined, these practices assure that only the crudest aspect of the coffee flavor survives the espresso brewing assault: the degree of roast. When you get an American espresso you can tell maybe if it was a dark or lighter roast.“

Coffee should be brewed hotly and fairly quickly. For example, a 10-cup pot of coffee should take between 3 and 4 minutes to brew.“
