Is the part where you pour the water in made of glass?

A couple of responses to comments:

This is a $100 machine. It makes a quite good espresso, even with a cheap grinder. You get a nice crema and a nice tasting espresso from a cheap machine and grinder. This is the point of the video. I also have a much better grinder and superior espresso machines, but the Presso is excellent value for money, much better than a pod machine (IMHO :-) )

Stopped watching at "I use a starbucks grinder!"

It's my fave Espresso maker :)

@ZeroXAgony You mean the $128 KG100? $128 isn't a cheap grinder? Right.

And please - you lost any claim to being a gentleman the second you decided it was worth your while to log in and insult somebody's video because of the _brand of their grinder_, you sad, shallow son of a bitch.

[ZeroXAgony]

@tolleymb That's nice and all, but he even said himself, and I quote; "even with a cheap grinder. " This was obviously not the $150 Delonghi KG100.

Also, I never resorted to personal insults, so go fuck yourself. If you'd like to continue this as gentlemen; kindly stick a toothpick under your big toe, then go kick a wall.

@ZeroXAgony - then you're a narrow-minded tool. For example, the Starbucks EL60 is a rebadged Delonghi KG100 - both grinders received equal highest rating in the Australian consumer organisation CHOICE's independent testing. But hey, good for you for raging against a brand, bro. We're all really impressed.

@mangravy2000

I don't know where you got your information, but that is just downright wrong. You change the extraction time by changing the grind. Most professional baristas, myself included, only dose 20-20.5g into the porta-filter, and tamping doesn't matter when 9 bars kicks in. That only leaves us with the ability to change the grind.

[mangravy2000]

Why rest for 30 seconds? If the water is the correct temp then you should not wait.

[mangravy2000]

Can't read the font. Hate it! If the water temp is in the 190F range and the apparatus can generate ~9 Bars of pressure then. It should be exactly the same and you would not be able to tell the difference.

[mangravy2000]

@ZeroXAgony - with espresso the grind is not as important as with coffee. The extraction time minimizes the effect of grind inconsistency.
