HELLO,
I HAVE A SINGLE GROUP ASTRA MACHINE. I AM THINKING OF SWITCHING TO A TWO GROUP PROPANE MACHINE. HOW WELL DO THE PROPANE MACHINES KEEP UP? ARE THEY HARD TO KILL AND WHAT IS THEIR RECOVERY LIKE? THE REASON I AM THINKING OF SWITCHING IS THE SINGLE GROUP ASTRA IS NOT KEEPING UP! ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE GREAT!

COULD YOU RECOMMEND AN ESPRESSO BLEND (BRAND NAME OR SMALL BATCH)?
|
|
I have some favorites, both small batch and Italian name brand. Since both types of roasters use Astoria espresso machines, I don't think I would be the guy to talk with. Check out www.coffeereview.com. Pretty good information there. |

WHAT IS PREINFUSION? DOES IT MATTER?
|
|
Pre-infusion is moistening the espresso in the portafilter before the actual extraction. Most espresso experts agree that moistening the espresso brings out a better espresso texture and taste. The Divina models all have pre-infusion. The group heads on the Divina have a small channel of water that is emptied on the grounds before the extraction. |
