Adjusting La Marzocco pre-infusion from plumbed-in water pressure?
I'm in a similar boat with setting up my new mobile setup. I'm going with the Shurflo kit since it will send out 1.9gpm in addition to an accumulator. For a few hundred dollars more I think it will be worth it

Cubano shots anyone?
I've been making cubanos here at the shop for a while. Customers LOVE them, and I've converted drip brew only customers to straight espresso now using a cubano as a transitional drink. I put a small layer of espresso in the PF, a thin layer of turbinado sugar, and dose/tamp/ as usual. The sugar is n...

Coffee Christmas party.... what would you bring?
I would steer clear of the Macchiato word.....they'll all want it with caramel sauce in a 20oz cup. I would take some Egg Nog syrup, Vanilla syrup, Caramel syrup, and chocolate sauce if you want to please the masses. Whole milk, 1 gal skim so you can mix to make 2% if needed

Making Flavored Lattes
they are all the same strength. I prefer the taste of the Monin syrups since they replicate the actual flavors better. For a 12 oz drink I add 3 pumps of syrup and 4 pumps for a 16oz. Each pump is a 1/4 oz. And they do not need refrigeration

Most Expensive Coffees- Have ya tried any? Truth or...?
I held an exotic coffee tasting here at my cafe a few months back. We featured arabica Kopi Luwak, Hacienda La Esmeralda Gesha, and a 100% Kona. The Kopi was down right repulsive. My roaster and I both looked at each other with a look of disdain. We could tell when we were roasting it that

Europe: The single shot is the norm?
nope, I grabbed it all. My opinion is that the bitterness is from over extracting, so I tend to cut em off short. My customers all tell me that my espresso is smooth, lacks bitterness, and really comes through the milk. They think I'm putting lots of espresso in their cups, when in fact I'm dropping...

My local roaster is Cafe Brioso. And yes, I sell beans here by the pound. I usually order about 5-1lb bags along with my normal order. I place my orders every 3-4 days, so my beans are always very fresh. I prefer the order small and very frequent technique. While I'm finishing up what I
