Using the Barista Home Espresso Machine (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„Frothing milk is an essential attribute of a good barista. And, since you own a Barista machine, you can perfect this art in the comfort of your own home.

„Measure the time that it takes to pull the shot, until it is second nature to you. The total time should be 15 - 18 seconds for a ristretto and 18 - 23 seconds for a regular shot. If you time your shots precisely, you can brew directly into two demitasse cups, without the need to measure and re-pour. If your machine is pushing out the espresso at a faster rate, you should use the group tightener to tighten the screw on the underside of the group head.“

„Most impressive, however, were the number of functioning machines. I counted, quickly, a total of six different commercial espresso machines in operation, between the two floors. In the windows and adorning the walls were turn-of-the-century Victor Arduinos, micro-Cimbalis, Pavonis, Faemas and Gaggias galore! Neopolitan flip-drips, moka pots...“

„Well, I've been blending for espresso in the commercial setting of a coffee shop for four years and have created well over 200 blends from 60 different origins in search of the perfect blend, and drunk many thousands of cups of espresso not just for enjoyment (it's a tough job) but also in the quest for the better espresso. My Has Bean Espresso blend is one of the best selling coffees I sell, and has received critical acclaim from people in the trade, but more importantly from customers.“

„I wouldn't suggest it. Instead, I stress the importance of Italian espresso from a stove top espresso machine.“
