To me, every kitchen appliance is useful and nothing's overrated. When I look at my little espresso machine, I don't see coffee. I see a steaming valve as an opportunity to make amazing creme brulee.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Espresso, made by steam expressing finely ground coffee, is rich in flavor and aroma and chlorogenic acids, but not very concentrated at all in caffeine.
I have two much-beloved stovetop espresso pots at home, plus a couple French presses I couldn't resist buying because they were so pretty. If I had to imbibe at Starbucks, I'd want a mocha with an extra shot.
A good espresso to me is a little bit salty; you just become used to a good taste. Anytime I go into a new place and they don't clean their machine properly or the water temperature isn't right, it tastes awful.
I drink at least a couple of espressos every day and love the flavor of coffee.
I probably have about four or five cups of coffee a day. I make myself an espresso macchiato when I wake, which is a shot of espresso and just a dollop of steamed milk. Then, if I'm going to do some work at home, I would make myself a French press. It's the best way to make conventional coffee.
I don't know how to use appliances. I mean, I use the coffee maker. But that's it.
I never had any coffee or anything like that. I just never tried it.
I bought an espresso maker and coffee maker and make them myself every day.
Pouring espresso is an art, one that requires the barista to care about the quality of the beverage.
Brewing a good cuppa is something not everyone can do, and I loathe bad tea.
