In today's episode, Mark Frauenfelder brings his own espresso machine to US Barista Champion, Kyle Glanville, to learn how to make the perfect espresso. Kyle also gives a hands-on demonstration of the "ultimate nerd's way to make coffee."

This weekend, Kyle will be competing against the best baristas from around the globe in the 2008 World Barista Championship. The final round and awards ceremony are on Sunday, June 22nd, and streaming video of the competition can be seen now and through the weekend at worldbaristachampionship.com.

  • Mark Frauenfelder....nice hair and shirt. Dork.

  • @klarinetta I currently own a Baratza Virtuoso, which is not good for espresso purposes. But a used Mazzer or Macap would do wonders here.

  • Intelligentsia has the best coffee around!

  • I sometimes get confused when watching these coffee videos from USA. F° and Oz(ok I'm beginning to get comfortable with Oz) but F° I don't get. I'm on the other hand very familiar with C° and ml or liter.

  • @jdharding2 What kind of grinder do you have ?

  • i would kill for kyle's job.

  • Yay Silvia!

    I want one, but I have an Ascaso Dream.

    Boo, bad grinder! Cheap commercial burr grinders off of ebay are better than those cheapo home ones.

  • Kyle is a great guy. He introduced me to truly great coffee when i was 14 years old.

    He knows his stuff, his espresso is incredible, and there are only a few places that can even match his quality (I like Cafe Vita in Seattle a lot... But they love Intelligentsia, too. So it's mutual) But even then, when I'm in Silverlake, or even the LA area, I always make a trip over there.

  • i don't use a siphon that way...but then again, he's winning competitions and i'm just making coffee in a coffee shop

  • ive got a silvia too... it's not easy to use, but so fun
