VIVACE ESPRESSO DOLCE
adam_sickles | Sun, 05/16/2010 - 18:00This was very good. I am a newbie.
KLATCH BELLE ESPRESSO
adam_sickles | Thu, 05/06/2010 - 15:16Compared to many of the guys on home-barista.com, i'm a newbie and not in a position to review a coffee that's been rated as world's best espresso. But I'll rate anything for $5 off my next purchase. I liked this blend; when I had it dialed in and brewing 14gram ristrettos at 203-204F, it was splended: a tiny bite of brightness, lots of caramel, and of course some nice bitterness.
THIS ARTICLE COULD BE MORE INFORMATIVE.
adam_sickles | Wed, 05/05/2010 - 19:49For example, a blade grinder is not an option for people who are serious about French Press or espresso. Or that when you are planning to purchase an espresso rig, your plans should allow for a significant amount of money to be allocated to a grinder, e.g. don't get a La Spaziale or Alex Duetto if that only leaves you enough money to buy a Baratza Maestro.
DOUBLE SHOT = 4 OZ ?
adam_sickles | Mon, 05/03/2010 - 23:29WTF is going on. If someone pulls me a double that's 4 oz, I'm asking for my money back. I really appreciate the free shipping on this website; I love this website for that reason. But they should have someone who knows a thing or two about espresso to proofread all the articles that are posted.
