Sitting down here in the warehouse drudging away at the paperwork with the stray alleycat Sloopy helping cover the floor with invoices, schedules, notices and other useless detrius of the modern small business.

Howdy Folks! Have you ever wondered about what makes one espresso machine different than another or why one is "worth" $300 and another $8000? And did you ever question if the latest Whiz Bang FX300 makes that much better coffee than your $300 used Gaggia Classic? To answer that let's take some time to look into the design differences and see what...

I posted the under-mentioned message some time ago and havent taken things much further since then, except that I now have THREE Gaggias not working: I took the Classico over to England and it turned out that when I connected it to a 240 volt supply, the croup head is completely broken despite looking brand new. The Baby with which I was so underwhelmed...

Are you frustrated to find that your "brain" box -- autofill controller -- has croaked and that a NEW one is about $175.00! What? for this? you gotta be kidding! Send me YOUR dead box and I will see if it is repairable. if not, I'll send it back charging only $6.00 for shipping. Repair will NOT be attempted if the unit has been modified in any way...

OK, I know that asking opinions for a "best" espresso machine under 100 bucks is tantamount to asking for a recommendation from the "best of the worst" category...but.... We were hit by a tornado here in Heflin, Al in the first week of May and the fact is that money is really, really tight. My beloved Rancilio Silvia was destroyed and my current wife...

I'm just setting up for my first attempt at this. I've got a second- hand Breville bread machine which does a 25-minute uninterrupted 'dough' cycle agitation, and a Ryobi heat-gun which has done a sterling job for me till now, using the old 'hand-stirring in mixing bowl' method. And I've bought a perfect clamp-stand which will hold the heat-gun at just about...

Is it just toooo anal to post the temperature you like to drink your coffee. (Probably!) As I like my espresso coffee with milk/cream frothed, it doesn't always come out the temperature I like it. Today it was just perfect. 162º. Is this close to the temperature that others like their espresso/coffee without cream -- or even with cream. Yeah,...

You can accidentally kill yourself by drinking over 40 cups of coffee in one day. The amount of caffeine is sufficient to cause respiratory failure. - from w w w .odd-info . com

My Gaggia Carezza's steam water tube (the one that goes from the reservoir directly to the boiler) is flowing backwards. So when I turn on the steam setting, it just pumps boiling hot water out of the tube instead of sucking cold water in for steam. Needless to say, this makes it impossible to make steam. I did take the machine apart (including the boiler)...

v.2007-09-13 WHAT IS ALT.COFFEE ? Alt.coffee is a flow of posts (properly known as articles) in a heirarchy known as a newsgroup in a system known as Usenet, which is propagated over tens of thousands of servers worldwide generally via a protocol known as NNTP. WHAT ALT.COFFEE is not. Alt.coffee is not a "site." It is not a web forum....

In addition to drinking coffee I also run a bit. For longer races there are energy gels, complex carbohydrates in a little packet that one can suck down quickly, supposedly they keep one from hitting the proverbial "wall". They have energy gels with caffeine, for some reason most of the gels with caffeine are some sort of coffee flavor, latte, mocha...
