I am a coffee lover, and I have tried everything I can think of to make a decent cup at home, with no luck. My coffee always turns out yucky. What am I doing wrong? Any good coffee making tips out there?
I’m pretty good with my tamping and timing, but since retiring from being a barista at a small coffeehouse, I miss the espresso. After looking around I have been fairly disappointed with the junk espresso machines that are being pushed right now.
What I’m looking for is an espresso maker that does not auto-tamp, has a hot waterspout, a steam wand, manual steam control (for the group head), and a hefty portafilter.
Where can I find such one that is not junk?
