    Admariable affaciandos all three of them. Tho it´s a shame only the bottom liquid of the espresso was poured. If one wants a whole experiense of a espresso shot, then you could have poured a single shot and stirred it before pouring it onto the shaker. I wonder is there any chanse of doing a non alcoholit espresso”martini?”

    5 bean blend? May I say it must have been hard to combine a working blend of so a many types. Tho I guess northen Italian blend would be easier one because they are so darkly roasted that its quite a oily one. Mayby?

    I have lived in italy for almost 7 years and my family has lived there for well over a 100 years…….this guy is an idiot who has obviously never been there because nothing he is saying about italy is true. Go on vacation and educate yourself.

    How is a drink with no gin and no vermouth still a martini?

    That is a fantastic combination for a cocktail! I usually drink black Russian or Guinness.
    I will try this one as well for sure, thank you for the tip. Cheers!

    yep, the steam pressure thing is incorect. in order to get enough pressure this way, you would have to heat the boiler to about250F. WAY TO MUCH HEAT. all you will tase in that esresso is a charcoal bitter. pro machines use a pump. the grind finness and tamp pressure cause the prortafilter presure to reach 9 bars (abotu217 psi) because the coffee grounds cause resistance.

    There is no different kind of coffee in northern part o Italy (I live in Milano), but they are right when says that the northern Italy coffee is delicate than the south or middle Italy coffee.
    It change the “miscela” and the way that the coffee is served.
    BTW all italian coffee espresso is the best you can drink.
    StarBucks don’t serve real espresso, also in France is difficult to find a real espresso.
    Go in any part of Italy and you can get a real coffee, it is like a delicious juice of beans.

    I don’t understand why she says 40 lbs instead of the usual 30 lbs. Is this a different way to tamp??

    do you use the espresso hot or do you have to let it chill before adding to the mixing tin?
