Espresso Experiments

+ +

A few years ago, I bought a cheap stove top espresso maker. I've been using +it casually on and off since then, but I've come to the conclusion that a more +scientific approach would result in an improved product.

+ +

I am definitely not an espresso expert; this is simply my way of trying +to make a better shot. Besides enjoying espresso just on its own, I find that +condensed milk makes an excellent addition, as it seems to allow the espresso to +stand on its own next to the milk rather than diluting the taste as ordinary +milk does.

+ +

The measurements below have some seemingly strange units. For bean quantity, I +simply use the timer setting on my grinder. For grind, I again simply list my +grinder setting. It has Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, and Coarse settings, with each +being divided into four sub-settings. I'm calling these Extra Fine 1, Extra Fine +2, Extra Fine 3, Extra Fine 4, Fine 1, etc. For the heat, this is simply what I +set my small stove burner to, in the range Lo, 1, 2, ..., 9, Hi.
