Espresso

Tools of the trade. Krups Novo 964. Estro 480 burr grinder. They have been serving me well for 13 years and still running like new.

I don't get it when I read negative comments/reviews for Krups Novo. I got good luck with Model 964. Until I can afford something better. A Mazzer Mini grinder or even a Rancilio Rocky would be nice.

For now, very minimum on equipments. More investment in time and efforts, and they pay off ;-)


The principle elements of making espresso are captured in four Italian words:

Mano dell'operatore (hand of the operator)
Macinadosatore (grinder-doser)
Miscela (coffee blend)
Macchina espresso (espresso machine).
