Question : Coffee beans for my Espresso machine?
Hi, I bought a nice espresso machine which was around $300 (early X-mas present). Anyways, while it is on its plane ride to my house, i'm buying my accessories. I have espresso cups (2oz) cappacino cups (6 oz) and latte cups (8oz). I have a milk pitcher, thermometer, and espresso shot cups. So I think I have all the proper equipment to make an awesome coffee. I have only one problem tho , the espresso beans. I don't have enough money to buy a nice coffee grinder. I don't like to cut corners on cheap stuff, so I'll wait to have at least enough money to buy a nice grinder. My question is, should I buy pods to use for my espresso, or ground espresso beans at a coffee shop and use the ground beans for a couple weeks. I know that it is best to grind the beans just before your about to make the espresso, but that isn't an option at the moment.Thanks!
Answer:
Pre-ground espresso is fine, I would buy several small packages, and try them, there is not alot of different in there flavours, grind is the biggest difference, some do an extra fine one, I like the Italian brand Gioia, Lavannza, Medalia D' Or and Excelsior. Keep the ground coffee cool I have a small glass snap top jar, and keep mine in the frig, I do not have a machine but the old fashion stove top 6 cup Crema machines, but have found they make just a nice as the machines do, coffee like wine is a preference liking moment, so try a few until you find one your happy with, a grinder is nice, but your not going to have the consistency of a pre-ground product.

Question : espresso maker buying guide?
What are some things to consider when purchasing an espresso maker? I have no idea how the whole system works (I am looking to buy one as a gift for my girlfriend). Is buying the machine enough or do I need to order accessories? I have read some reviews that mention a frothing wand and things of that nature, do they come with the machine? Basically I do not want to buy her a machine that she cannot use straight out of the box.Any help is appreciated. This is one of the machines I'm looking at if anyone can comment, trying to stay under $100. DeLonghi EC155: http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-EC155-Espresso-Maker/dp/B000F49XXG
Answer:
Machines under $100 aren't very good and not really worth the money. Personally I wouldn't touch a DeLonghi with a very long bargepole. I would look at the cheaper Gaggias or Saecos - but these may be a little over you budget. Also you really need a decent grinder capable of grinding fine enough for espresso. Again the very cheapest you will find one of these for is $100 unless you go for a hand grinder like the Kyocera or Porlex. Basically without freshly ground beans you will be unable to make espresso. On top of that you should consider getting a tamper which is the right size for the machine as the plastic ones they provide are useless. Nearly all espresso machines will come with some sort of steam wand for frothing milk. That said, most of the cheaper machines will be unable to heat the water to create enough steam to forth milk properly.So sorry to be the barer of bad tidings but on your budget you are probably better focusing on a cheaper coffee making solution - Something like the Aeropress for instance http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=Aeropress&x=0&y=0. This will make much better coffee than a cheap espresso machine can especially if you combine it with a hand grinder.P.S To make espresso the machines run at around 9 bar - most are rated 15/16 bar because it is better not to run a pump at maximum capacity. If there even is a machine rated at 19 bar it would not be very good.

Question : BARISTAS HELP! Bought my first espresso machine, now what? What are the extra accessories I need?
I just bought my first espresso machine; it's "DeLonghi BCO130T Combination Coffee/Espresso Machine". Here is the link to the product:http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-BCO130T-Combination-Espresso-Machine/dp/B000F2M16O/ref=sr_1_1 ?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1205453139&sr=1-1I'm pretty good at navigating the net, but I cannot find a place that tells me exactly what I need! Do I get a grinder for beans? Also, I was going to get a frothing pitcher and a thermometer, do I really need these? I was also looking into getting some of the espresso pods. I know that they won't taste as good, but it will be great for those mornings when I'm in a rush! The pods say that your machine has to be designed to accept "ESE" coffee pods. I was looking at the machine's manual online and couldn't find this anywhere. Is there anything else I need? Oh and by the way, I usually drink lattes and stuff like that. Thanks for your help in advance!!! =o)
Answer:
Ok, I'm not a barista, but I have an espresso machine.You could get a grinder for the espresso beans, or just buy it already ground. I don't use a thermometer, so it might be nice, although not necessary. You need something to use to steam/froth the milk, though a specific frothing pitcher isn't necessary. I use a ceramic mug. I've been told that either ceramic or stainless steel mugs work well. Note: keep this in the fridge, it somehow helps with the frothing...not sure why.Hope this helps.

Question : If I get this espresso machine, what other accessories will I need?
It's the Krups Model XP 1020 Espresso Machine; here's a link http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=15868996Also is there a certain type of beans I should use?
Answer:
I'd say that a krups will always be great for a home machine. (I used to sell them).You'll need a pitcher to steam in. Preferably a medium sized one, maybe 16 oz.It should have a rounded bottom, preferably.Just use a knife to separate foam from milk when pouring out of the pitcher. You don't need anything else special.If you don't already have a coffee grinder a krups is good. I've had all 3 of mine for 30 years.I use 2 for spices.As far as coffee beans are concerned, you "should" use a dark roast, but I owned a very popular coffeehouse, and I used a very successful blend of french, vienna and regular roast coffee, and a touch of flavored coffee. I spent a long time developing the blend, which made great drip coffee, and great espresso. Just work with mixtures that you like. Grind your coffee as fine as you possibly make it.You should be able to get a shot of espresso in about 20 seconds. If the coffee is ground too fine, it might take 30-40 seconds to make a shot, and your end product will be burnt tasting and unpalatable.If coffee rushes through the filter too fast (less than 15 seconds), then your coffee grounds are too coarse. Grind them finer. Coffee that rushes through too fast will not have crema on top, and will also be watery, grayish, and yucky tasting.*another hint, if you plan to make iced cappuccino/latte, make sure your espresso is mixed with cold milk before adding ice. NEVER put hot coffee/espresso directly over ice. It'll have a burnt taste....coffeehouses' special secret.

Question : Making cappucino with a Krups espresso machine?
My parents bought me a nice Krups espresso machine for Christmas, along with a cappucino accessory (basically, a metal pitcher to hold milk). In the instruction booklet, it says a cappucino is "1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 froth." The instructions includes directs for "heating milk," but it doesn't exactly say if it'll make the milk froth.Am I correct in assuming that, when I use the milk steaming attachment, it'll do the frothing part as well?
Answer:
it will do the frothing part if you let it froth.To heat the milk and froth it, your going to fill up 1/3rd of the frothing pitcher, put it under the steamer attachment and turn the steamer on. for the first minute or two, the steamer should be near the bottom of the pithcer, this will allow the milk to heat uponce the milk is warm, tilt the pitcher to an angle, and let the tip go near the top of the milk, this will allow the frother to encorporate air, and froth the milk.good luck!
