Virtual Coffee: Making the Most of Your Home Espresso Machine ()

  „Do not refrigerate orfreeze your coffee beans.Grinders need to have two grinding disks (single blades or single disks shouldnot be used), which need to be replaced after every 50 pounds of coffee beansground.Most home espresso machines simply do not have enough water pressure to giveproper extraction. You are basically stuck if you have a water pump that willnot deliver a minimum of 130 pounds per square inch of water pressure at thegroup head of your espresso machine. Consult your owner's manual for details.Also, most home espresso machines have a single boiler without a separate heatexchanger for the water brewing the espresso drinks, and thus have a situationwhere hot water is mixed with steam. Using both steam and hot water inextracting flavors from the coffee oils results in a thin, bitter espresso, ashigh temperatures (water) and much higher pressures (steam) are being exertedonto the coffee grounds.“

  „If you serve espresso and buy whole bean espresso, you need two grinders - one for the regular espresso and one for decaffeinated espresso. Grinding the coffee and adjusting the grinders to brew at the correct flow rate is not a simple task and trying to keep the grinder adjusted results in wasted coffee. Tom Martin points out other finite savings that offset the cost difference of espresso pods and roasted beans.“
