Thread: Espresso Machine

The Espresso Expenditure Saliva Test:

Go to: http://espressoporn.blogspot.com/

Your espresso kit budget should be directly proportional to the amount of drool now pooling in your keyboard.

Despite the possibility of spending amazing amounts of cash on your home setup it is possible to be quite happy with a fairly simple burr grinder and steam machine if all you want is espresso or americanos.

I have dreams of a silvia grinder and a manual press with an eagle on top but in terms of taste I would say the move from a chopper to a burr grinder was likely the biggest improvement in my home setup.

My cheapo steam machine makes an americano that is just as good as charbucks in flavour.

If you are hoping to win a barista competition and sign your initials with the crema ignore this message in its entirety.

Wow - that's an industrial coffee maker!!

I do love my coffee, my only problem now is that my current grinder can't keep up with it lol
