Espresso: Espresso Machines, Roasting, Blending, Tamping, and Latte Art
„The word espresso is derived from the Italian word for express since espresso is made for and served immediately to the customer. A double espresso is a 47-62.5 mL (1.5-2 ounce) extract that is prepared from 14-17 grams of coffee through which purified water of 88-95°C has been forced at 9-10 atmospheres of pressure for a brew time of 22-28 seconds. The espresso should drip out of the porta-filter like warm honey, have a deep reddish-brown color, and a crema that makes up 10-30% of the beverage. Espresso brewing is defined by four "M's": the Macinazione is the correct grinding of a coffee blend, Miscela is the coffee blend, Macchina is the espresso machine, and Mano is the skilled hand of the barista. When each factor of the four M's is precisely controlled, the espresso beverage that is produced is the ultimate coffee experience.“

„The Good Housekeeping Institute's Food Appliances department picked their four favorite espresso machines so you can whip up espressos like a barista (Italian for an espresso master) in the comfort of your own home -- without breaking the bank. Each model is pump-powered and produces espresso topped with crema (golden foam, the sign of a great espresso) every time.“
