  • Hahaha. I think he's taking the piss. What he says is accurate and correct. But what he's doing looks distinctly odd.

    Anyway, Americans, get real. It can take you a week in New York to find an espresso as good as what you get out of the €0.80 coffee machine in the doorway of truckstops on the autostradi.

    Two mouthfuls. That's it.

  • Two mouth fulls is a good point our baristas must learn! And $3.00+ espressos are an insult!

  • You simply misheard him, he said "the best espresso west of 'Nipples' (it's a topless bar halfway down the block from his joint)." They serve instant at Nipples.

  • if the espresso is underextracted it will have a sour off-taste which a lot of people mistake for acidity (or as you say). I'm going to assume that this clown's three second shot is pretty astringent :P

    this vid has GOT to be a joke, and LOL to the comment under mine

    Agreed completely. I work at a coffee shop in the US and I often give stuff away because I don't have it in me to charge people the ridiculous fees we have. I want to one day open and very luxurious coffee shop, but have everything dirt cheap. Just enough to stay in business. Have a nice shop for people to go to and hang out where people can be viewed as friends and customers and not profit. Everyone just wants to get rich in the US, I just want to get by.

  • sounds to me like the camera man is ripping the other guy about what good coffee is.

  • awesome info..thank u..

  • A pod?

  • Acid in Coffee? No wonder why I am losing my hair. I want Espresso now. I want my Cappucino and Cafe au lait.

  • I hate it when anyone says "I make the best this or that" ... so pretentious. Let others be the the judges. The worst part is that this espresso looks horrible.

  • He's using coffee pods, this is garbage!

  • This is retarded. "get lost" basically you said Italians could not handle the Turkish coffee so they had to make it weaker. Everyone likes their coffee/espresso different. I love the caffeine aspect of coffee and think that it taste like crap, but I know it has good qualities that have been known to improve health, so I drink it. Everyone is different. Coffee snobs! what a bunch of losers.

    Its O.K. to be a coffee aficionado, but a snob... get a life.

  • you didn't show anything here idiot

  • this is most sertainly a joke!! hes using a pod. those poduce nothing worth putting in thy mouth. every good barista knows that freshness comes before all other rules. the size of the shot is only a finish touch kind of rule. not to say its not very important but if you dont have fresh, it wont matter what else you do your espresso will always suck! (but his points are valid its rare to find those supper consentrated thick creme shots these days)
