Café Coffee on the Cheap Part 2 Free Preview

Good demonstrations/discussion, this is what I was looking for 10/28/2007 ~ matt

Don't worry about buying part 1 first, it is mostly background and I don't think you'll be lost if you start with this one. Sterling does a good job of demonstrating how to make espresso, capuccino, cafe au lait, cafe americano, basic coffee, a cafe latte, and discusses how to make thai coffee.

It is great to see things get put together in order, I already had some of this equipment, but didn't realize the range of things I could do with it to expand my range of tasty coffee at home. One important thing he doesn't mention is with a basic italian coffee maker (the Bialetti) make sure not to get coffee grounds on the threads as you load the machine. Taking the area where the espresso out to load it as he does is probably a good idea, I've had problems with not getting a good seal, and/or cross-threading mine in the past.

tu non sai fare il caffè, torna in italia e fattelo rispiegare e latte significa milk

Yikes, no wonder Starbucks doesn't sell these things in their stores. It took me a few chances to find one but I finally did at Bed, Bath and Beyond. If Starbucks sold them they would be out of business. And if you like your coffee as much as I do then you'd be saving a lot of money! I'm buying my parents a Bialetti for Christmas and also a MindBites account so that they can see how their $300, counter top espresso machines are a waste of money and space versus the very sleek look of a $20 Italian Bialetti.
