Making coffee, from start to finish

Aside from skipping and editing bits out, and the fact that some of the clips were taken at different times... here is the process from start to finish of how I make coffee on my Rancilio Silvia and Rocky.

Music : In Grid - Tu Es Foutu

Oh and I have one question. Aren't you supposed to steam the milk first and then pull the shot so that the espresso will still be good when you put the milk foam to it ?

[abstractgourmet]

@klarinetta The espresso will still taste good after letting it sit for a while. The crema will have dissipated but that doesn't affect the flavour of the espresso. Crema itself is very bitter an doesn't contribute much to the flavour of the shot. Having the milk at the right temperature and well steamed will make a much better cappuccino than letting it sit and separate while you make the espresso.

@abstractgourmet Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't steaming the milk and pulling the shot, simultaneously, make for a better shot?

[abstractgourmet]

@chimaera2695 In normal circumstances it would. But the Rancilio Silvia is a single boiler machine with a manual steam switch. So you can't pull the shot and make the milk at the same time as the steam circuit needs to heat up before you can steam.

Anybody know the name of this song? Would be great to hear an extended mix of it.

[abstractgourmet]

@Zeneternity Noone reads descriptions anymore do they ? It's by In Grid - Tu Es Foutu, I'm sure there's an extended mix somewhere on youtube.

I was kinda disappointed there at the end.  I wanted to see you pour!

@1itsme2yaboichris ESPRESSO is the way of making that shot of coffee - using a mahcine with pressured water etc.... the coffee shot that it makes is also commonly called an espresso

[tieubun]

im studying about coffee and i think u 've may not pressed it well, it's over espresso, i think you should steam the milk and make the coffe at the same time, anyway, it's so cool :D oh my english is not well, do you understand me :)
