„Hello Ben, Topher is probably right. Most often lack of a good crema on an espresso produced by a home machine can be contributed to the grinder. To simplify the trouble-shooting process you can eliminate the other simple problems first- such as not using the correct amount of ground coffee, not tamping firmly enough. Once you are sure these are out of the way then it is most likely the grind is off.“

„Good espresso at home: to even hope for a decent result one must spend about $200 - $225 for an espresso machine and about $175 to $275 for a grinder. If you go much cheaper than that you're better off getting a Moka pot (aka stove-top "espresso-maker"). Good moka coffee ain't the same as good espresso but it's way better than bad espresso.“

Espresso! My Espresso! An Ongoing Internet Novel - CHAPTER
„, and tried again with a grind set two clicks coarser on the Rocky. This pulled in about 22 seconds or so (time counted in my head this AM), it had crema that filled about 3/4 of the shots in the beginning, the crema separated in a beautiful upwards cascade of color and dynamic action, and the double was delicious. This straight espresso had just a hint of bitterness. The nasty acidic taste from yesterday's under-roast was gone showing that I had roasted past the acidic stage with this batch.“
