Stovetop Espresso
You’ve just opened the box and there it is on the bench top, your brand new stovetop espresso maker, all shiny and waiting to for you to enter the world of stovetop espresso.
But now what? This is the easy and fun part…..
The stovetop espresso maker has 3 chambers. The bottom chamber holds the water, the filter for the ground coffee and the pot for catching the brewed coffee.
Ideally you want to use filtered water to fill the bottom chamber with, as filtered water doesn’t contain any of the metals and minerals that can clog the feed tube in your stovetop espresso maker. It’s argued that filtered water gives a better taste to the brew. Make sure you don’t overfill and allow space for the filter basket.
The next step is to fill the filter basket with fine ground coffee. The rule of thumb here is one teaspoon per cup of coffee. With a little practice you will find the right balance for your palette.
When the “music” subsides and you can no longer her the gurgling of coffee moving up the machine, it’s time to remove the pot from the stove and pour your fresh brew into a small espresso cup, sit back and enjoy!

The Enjoyment Of Drinking Coffee : Coffee Cup
October 30, 2009 by admin
Filed under Espresso Coffee, Highlights
If an individual is a coffee drinker, the first priority to enjoying a cup of coffee is the brewed beverage itself. Specifically, an individual who enjoys their cup of coffee wants that hot drink to be fresh and flavorful.
In addition, to the drink itself, another important aspect to enjoying a cup of coffee is the coffee cup. Therefore, there are a number of coffee cups that are available for the individual that may enhance this simple pleasure.
For example a coffee cup may be a special cup given by a member of a family and may have special meaning. Or a coffee cup may keep the coffee warm while the individual is working at their job. Additionally, another type of coffee cup that is popular for a coffee drinker is just a plain coffee mug.
Coffee Cup Types
There are many cups available on the market for an individual to use. Some of these coffee cups are practical in nature while some provide an air of elegance or some are just designed to function as a receptacle for that cup coffee.
For example a coffee cup that might provide an air of elegance can be a cup and saucer that may be made of bone china.This type of cup can be used both in a formal setting and at special dinner parties.
In addition, an individual’s favorite coffee cup may be a personalized cup. Examples of these types of coffee cups can be a cup that has the picture of a grandchild, a cup with a special logo on it or one that may have other sentimental value.
Also, there are the standard types of coffee mugs that are rugged and heavy and are simply designed to h
old a good cup of coffee. Often these types of coffee cups are fairly inexpensive and therefore can be taken to the garage, outdoor patio, etc.
Thermal Coffee Cup
In addition, there are those coffee cups that are practical in nature. Examples of those types of cups could include a thermos drinking cup that allows the commuter to keep their coffee hot as they commute from home to work.Â
Additionally, this type of coffee cup helps to prevent spills while the individual is driving. This is accomplished as the lid to the thermos cup provides a tight seal which prevents the coffee from spilling out. Additionally, constructed on top of the cup is a pullback tab which allows for the individual to drink from the exposed aperture on the lid. In fact, there is a single cup coffee maker that combines the brewing of a cup of coffee with this type of container and allows the brewed coffee to flow directly into the thermos cup.

What Are the Benefits of a Commercial Espresso Maker?
People who are looking at espresso machines will either look at them for 1. their own personal use, or 2. For business use like in a coffee shop. When you’re looking for a commercial espresso machine for sale, you need to understand the differences between a home machine and a commercial machine.
Under normal circumstances you usually will not find a commercial espresso machine for less than 00.Â
Although this is one of the factors that determine whether an espresso machine is for home or commercial use, you need to be careful because there are many fancy home espresso machines that are in this price range as well. If you look at some of the features of the super automatic espresso machines, this will help you to see the next biggest difference besides the high price. Every step of the espresso making process is completed automatically and within about 40 seconds with one of these machines.Â
With a commercial espresso machine, all you have to do is add the coffee beans to the hopper as needed, and make sure there is a cup underneath the pour spout to catch the espresso when it comes out. Another difference in these espresso makers is the size. You will find that most of your home espresso machines are closer to the side the actual coffee pot. Your commercial espresso machines are normally quite a bit bigger than these.Â
The larger size is necessary so that when you are making one cup after another you don’t have to stop and refill the machine. There is also the option for a direct water hook up on most commercial espresso machines. Most of your home espresso machines you have to fill by hand. Commercial espresso makers, on the other hand, are hooked to a water line that fills and refills the reservoir tank as it emptied, keeping a consistent water supply available. If you own a coffee pot, you know that there are some that will automatically shut off the burner after a certain amount of time. This is necessary to protect the burner from, well, burning out.Â
A burner that doesn’t work right on your coffee pot isn’t only a potential fire hazard, but when you’re trying to keep your coffee hot it isn’t very helpful. Home espresso machines are the same way. Commercial machines though, don’t have this problem. Commercial espresso machines are made that way in that they are explicitly designed to stay on for long periods of time without causing themselves any harm.
The quality of the espresso that comes out of a commercial espresso machine is probably the best benefit. These commercial machines are made to provide excellent cups of coffee every time one is made. Each cup made day after day is always of the same high quality.
You can get commercial espresso makers for sale in all the same styles as your home espresso machines. They even make the antique style manual version for commercial use as well as the semiautomatic versions. If you’re running espresso shop though, within the super automatic versions are going to be the ones that give you the best benefits in the most bang for your buck.

Why not roast coffee beans at home?

The coffee ritual can be one of life’s most enjoyable pleasures. When it comes to making sotvetop espresso coffee, how do you choose one brand over another? What makes the perfect espresso? There are two main coffee plants that supply most of the world’s coffee, Arabica and Robusta. Coffee beans harvested from the Aribica plant, account for around 75% of coffee consumed. It is grown is subtrobical and tropical climates and producers a finer coffee. The Arabica bean have a rather more bolder aroma and flavour, yet not as bitter as the Robusta variety.
Coffee Beans
Robusta is considered a lower quality to Arabica and is therefore predominately used in blends (where beans of different qualities and flavors are mixed together) and are typically found on your local supermarket shelves. If you want the highest quality coffee for you stovetop espresso, you need to ensure it’s 100% Arabica. If you are after high quality coffee you should always buy beans and grind at home as you need, or if you don’t have a grinder, have the store grind a small enough amount for you to use over a few days as ground coffee doesn’t store all that well and tends to drop in quality in a short time frame.
A great alternative and a way to ensure you get the highest possible quality coffee is to roast your beans yourself at home. It really isn’t as difficult as you might thing and if you take a little time to get it right, it is well and truly worth the reward. The most difficult aspect of roasting coffee beans at home, is actually sourcing green / raw coffee beans. Local markets and coffee supply retail stores usually carry a selection of green coffee beans for you to roast yourself.
Today there are more and more online stores supplying green beans from around the world.
With a little research you should have very little trouble finding a supply of fresh green coffee beans. The roasting is the fun part. You can start with something as simple as your everyday popcorn maker , a frying pan over the stove (my preference), through to dedicated coffee bean rosters. The frying pan method requires a medium heat and takes about 15 minutes of regularly turning over the beans to avoid burning.
After this time you will notice beans starting to turn that beautiful chocolate brown and oil forming on the bottom of the pan. Another 5-7 minutes of roasting the bean’s own oil and you are done. All that is left is to place the beans on a sheet of tissue paper to absorb the excess oil and dry. Then all you have to do is grind as per normal, setup your stovetop espresso maker, kick back and indulge in that perfect cup.

Basically, you dump the green coffee beans in until they aren’t bouncing around much and stir until they are. Wait until desired roast is reached (we like to roast into the second crack a minute or so, otherwise they don’t seem done), then cool as rapidly as possible and age in an airtight container for a few days before grinding and brewing.
