Perfect Espresso with my Krups il Primo

[mcknzball]

im sorry, but as a barista i cant take you seriously with that starbucks apron on. ;P lol actually this is rather helpful to use with my il primo as i can never afford a lamarzocco or genasco... thanks!

Regarding other comments -- okay, I'll bite, why isn't it espresso? It forces very hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee, doesn't it?

Bill, thanks for the video!

Oh, look, look! Cookie just escaped from the Army.

For a how-to guide on how to make a very similar espresso, see "Black Adder".

This made me cry.

For real espresso search for -Coffeegeeks review of speedster-

Thanks! I have this same machine and I appreciate the suggestions!

[Cup0Water]

That is not an espresso machine lololol

[daveandjen1999]

Oh for the love of all that is good and holy. WHAT just happened there?

[agenthousewife]

This is really dissapointing. An espresso cup and a Starbucks apron can't help make your "espresso" look official at all. Some better information will help! Head over to coffeegeek...

There is so much wrong with this, I don't know where to start...

Perfect espresso?

Where?

[Yootoobsuchs]

While this machine really doesn't make espresso, it can' make a great lil strong coffee, much like a stovetop mokapot. OTOH, the thing'll steam milk like a pro! Well, with practice, pretty good, anyway.

This 'lesson', however, is a bit of a disservice. Well meaning, I'm sure, Bill, but there is a raft of research out there about coffee. You should avail yourself of some of it before you post a teaching video.

Dude, that's not an espresso, and that's not an espresso machine...

[nlmaxx]

nice demo, but sorry to say, you aint making espresso, that has to be a 25sec (+/-5sec) of 1.5 US fluid ounces pour, hence the shotglass as a time measurement tool. ;)

[nlmaxx]

and a good espresso always comes with a thick hazlebrown cream that can hold a sugerlayer at least a couple secs.

Thanks Bill!

[elliotgato]

Thank you for the time and investment on sharing your knowledge. I just got th Il Primo and will do exactly as you say.  I have to find a tamper to tamper with, otherwise I am set to go.

Mmm esssspresssssooo...

You're so official in your barista apron, hehe.

That's a great little compact machine! Ours has a monster resevoir on the back, so, it takes up quite a bit of space.

A little pinch of cinnamin on top of the espresso foam is yummers, too!
