„I have a Brasilia Portofino that I have been blessed with 2nd hand. In my quest to learn the best way to make the best coffee I have been taught the proper technique for tamping and find that the tamper I have is painful (it's a cheapy) to use with the new way I grip it. Where should I look to find a better tamper, and how do I determine what size I need?“

„Once you are done distributing the grounds it is time for the first tamp. Without moving the porta-filter, hold the tamper so that the base of the handle fits into the palm of your hand. Your wrist should be straight, and the tamper should be a straight extension of your arm. Press gently on the coffee with five pounds of pressure (Picture 3). You will notice that some of the grounds will stick to the side of the basket. Therefore, one must gently tap the basket with the handle on the porta-filter to knock the grounds onto the flat pellet you just formed (Picture 4).“

„Use roughly 16 grams of finely ground coffee, tamp and shape your puck well with about 30lbs of tamping pressure, lock and load the portafilter, and run the switch for about 30 seconds. Your goal is about 1.5 ounces total volume for the double in that time.“

„No directions are offered, but you'll quickly get the message that it's every man for himself with respect to finding a table and chairs. Once blessed, say another prayer and hope that your waitperson will get to you before caffeine withdrawal sets in. You may have to practice your hand signals (a big, yelpin' "YO!" might help, too), but eventually someone will come over to take your order. From there, it should be only a matter of minutes before your treats arrive.“

The Quest for Good Coffee in the Office (INeedCoffee.com)
„The office environment will not be as kind as college. That student will come face to face with the office coffee pot and the gross sludge that has been sitting in there for hours. We learned how to get along at school without our moms and dads, should we learn how to stay awake at the office without the aid of quality coffee? No!“
