Espresso at home?
(lemmy.ml)
Good morning from Chicago, and my favorite place to get espresso (The Mothership).
I’m trying to make better espresso from home, so I’m curious as to what methods you all use to make espresso at home that you love.
Beans, grinder, technique. Then machine.
I’ve had a number of machines (decent now) and it isn’t required to make something really good. Learn the basic techniques to get the flow and pressure right with your unit of choice. Dual boiler or switched boiler (either steam or brew via a switch) is my suggestion there, as the heat exchangers are great, but you have to play with them to know how it works.
Learn Wdt.
Thanks! I use beans from our local shop and a hand (manual) grinder. Even measuring water and coffee I can’t quiet make something good with my aeropress or Mokapot. I don’t need any fancy machines or anything as long as I can make something I like.
