I do not have very much money to spend on this at all, i have 60 dollars to spend on a coffee grinder, espresso machine, and the actual espresso grounds/ coffee beans. my dad travels a lot and can pick up plenty of hotel coffee that can be a permanent source of free coffee. I have gotten sick of standard drip crap and want to make espresso. buying the beans or pre-ground espresso wont work because i am looking for free to 10 dollars a month for 4 glasses of espresso per day.
I was thinking about it, and when you grind a coffee bean, it goes from whole to coarse to medium to fine. well, if i just cut out the whole and coarse parts, and put the medium into the grinder and run it til it is fine, shouldnt that work?
The logic to this is flawless, but i dont know if it requires starting as a bean in order to achieve the ability to be ground, maybe if it starts smaller, there isnt enough friction to get them moving and by the time it does, the grounds are ruined by the heat. I have scoured the internet and found nothing do i just hope that someone on here happens to know this and can write a quick answer. if you want to save time, 555 means this will work no problem, 777 means this wont work at all, any other answer pretty much needs words.

Thank you very much in advance.
does that mean it should work? I use howstuffworks.com all the time. I have read well over 1,000 pages of content including at least 30 on coffee and didnt come accross that. Thank you. Still need some more answers just to be sure before i invest all my money. thank you.

I found a perfect a setting in our espresso machine for the best tasting coffee. Can this be intellectual property to protect ?

Now I enjoy a cup or two here and there. After receiving an espresso machine and a deluxe coffee maker as wedding gifts, I find myself wondering if I’ve been drinking so-so coffee for a long time.

In your opinion, what makes a great cup of coffee great?
Do you get special beans?
Do you grind them yourself?
Do you insist on a certain method of preparation?

I’m interested in everyone’s views on this topic, because I’d like to learn more about how to make an even better cup-o-java.

Thanks!

I just purchased a Krups xp2070 espresso/coffe machine today and I am trying to figure out how to make the blue backlight on the LCD screen stay on all the time. After it finishes making coffee or doing any other functions, the blue light goes right out. I really want it to stay on all the time since I like to be able to see the clock from a distance. Does anyone know if this is possible? I can’t find anything in the owner’s manual that came with it.

I was just wondering if anyone knows why something like this would happen. Mine are only a little bit thicker than coffee and that is only because of the crème. I didn’t know if its just the difference in espresso machines or the beans or if it had anything to do with how much pressure I put on the puck.

When I started drinking espresso, I tried my hand making it at home. Not sure if it would take, I bought the Mr. Coffee ECM20 which was economical, and I must admit it was good when it wasn’t spewing steam out the top or one of the parts wasn’t broken. It’s time for a new machine. (I’ve spent more on replacement parts than I did on the machine.) I’m looking for something that is still economical and fairly easy to maintain. Thanks.
