Makes an awesome espresso

Written on May 02, 2017

This little machine makes an awesome and authentic shot of espresso, on par with a restaurant machine provided you don't dilute it. A few tricks for great results: first, use espresso ground coffee; next, fill and tamp grounds to your preference (it can handle a heaping scoop tamped gently); third, pump it SLOWLY, about 6 times to get water into the grounds, then about 11-13 super slow pumps for the most flavorful cup. Stop there and you'll have an espresso like one served in Italy. Keep pumping--there are 5-6 more squirts in it--and you'll have a sorry, diluted version that sadly passes for an espresso in the US. It's easy to use and control. Your friends--including Italians like myself--will be impressed by the flavorful shot this machine can deliver. Enjoy. This machine delivers.
