There should always be safety in espresso, and we think this Capresso Mini-S is the pinacle of safety when making a shot. Ihis economical Espresso maker uses steam pressure instead of a pump mechanism to create delicious espresso. It’s a fast method that’s perfect for a morning wake-up or after-dinner drink. Our sister site over at Single Serve Espresso has a full review, and we think if they like it - we’ll like it.

An espresso is a high-pressure extraction of coffee from a special machine. These instructions will vary depending on the type of machine you have, but the basics are the same for all.
Things You’ll Need:
* Demitasse Cups
* Espresso Machines
* Espresso Grinders
* Espressos Beans
* Spring Waters
1. Pour cold, clear water into your machine’s water chamber and make sure the boiler cap is secured. One shot of espresso is about 1 ounce. For a double shot, use two ounces. Some machines let you make as many as four shots at once.
2. Place the coffee basket in the filter holder and lightly pack in the ground coffee. Your filter should have a measure for how much espresso you are making.
3. Brush off any grounds on the sides and top of the filter and place the filter holder in the machine.
4. Place the provided glass carafe (if your machine comes with one) under the spout and turn on the machine. The machine will heat the water to the proper temperature and force the water through the coffee grounds. Use a cup if your machine doesn’t come with a carafe.
5. When the coffee starts to flow into the cup, it should have brown foam, or “crema,” on its top. When the foam becomes almost white in color, the good-tasting liquid is no longer flowing. Remove the cup immediately.
Tips & Warnings
* Beans selected and roasted specifically for espresso are available in major grocery stores or coffee specialty shops. If you are serious about espresso, purchase an espresso grinder and grind the beans just before brewing. Otherwise, buy your espresso beans in small amounts and have the shop grind them for you. Espresso is a tricky grind - it should be very fine, but not completely powdery, or else the coffee will overextract.
* The quality of machine has a lot to do with good espresso. While some (usually expensive) home models are decent, you are unlikely to get the same quality you get at a restaurant or coffee bar with an industrial machine.
* If the top is not securely in place, the machine can explode. The water is very hot and at a high pressure.
* Be careful when handling any metal parts of the machine after it heats up. These parts can be very hot even if the machine has been switched off.

Called the BrewStation because there is no “pot” involved, this 12-cup coffeemaker features a thermal-lined insulated coffee tank that maintains the brew temperature and keeps coffee hot and fresh inside until it’s ready to be served.
Simply depress the trigger with a mug for one-hand dispensing–no carafe means no pouring, no spills, and no hotplate that can sometimes scorch coffee or make it bitter. With simple push-button convenience, the machine offers four brew cycles, which include normal, flavor plus, 1 to 4 cups, and decaf.
For added convenience, the machine can be programmed for “wake-up” coffee, and its adjustable auto shutoff provides peace of mind. In addition, mid-brew dispensing makes the appliance handy for anybody in a hurry. Other highlights include a large digital clock/timer with blue backlighting, indicators for water filter cleaning and replacement, easy-to-view liquid level with measurement markings, and a swivel base.

A single cup coffee maker is great if you are the only coffee drinker in your home and you like to drink one cup at a time. Most come with a small one or two cup glass carafe. Some come with a thermal travel mug with a lid. This is a great feature to look for if you like to make a cup for the road in the morning. Just add cream and sugar and go.
Arriving at work can be tough if the coffee isn’t brewed and ready by the time you stroll in. You unload at your desk and head for the coffee pot only to find that again it is empty. Yes there is always coffee but it isn’t always made when we need it. You know it is not your turn but, you choose to make more coffee because you really want that hot cup of coffee yourself. There is not usually an office schedule as to who’s turn it is to make the coffee, so it is usually up to those of us who didn’t get a cup. Read the rest of this entry »
