Well, this is not a joke or whatsoever
Last month, I was contacted by a German coffee magazine to release an interview about my insane and extravagant passionate hobby: coffee machines and lever pump machines.
During the several calls with the German journalist, committed to organize the meeting, I was often asked and questioned if I knew a small coffee machine producer or a manufacturing company . On the spurs of the moment, the only one I could recall, was the "Caffemotive", and that was my very first hint and idea coming up my mind.
A few days after the interview , I spoke with the "Caffemotive" sales manager, Mr. Andrej Godina, who thanked me and told he was doping their machine presentation could let the world definitely discover their product: "Bacchi Espresso".
I told him : "what about a home test to verify and elevate the real qualities and characteristics of "Bacchi Espresso" machine ?.
I knew that machine pretty well , i wrote some post on my blog , so i was aware i could test it properly.
Therefore,last week,Massimo Chenda, "Caffemotive" CEO (chief executive officer ) , came to my home, bringing me this marvelous piece of metal alloy. At least "she 's mine ! ", I waited more than one year to purchase it, I thought!
So, what has this machine got to do with other espresso machines? Same stuff, I'd say..
I know, it's hard to believe that a gas (or electric if you wish) stove "pot" could be compared to a pro bar machine or worst case to the home lever espresso machines.
But you have to, trust me and in the following notes and examples I will show you how this could be done and carried on.
The shipping box is "earthquake" resistant container as it consists of a strong cardboard box surrounding a cylindrical aluminum can which can be also used to carry the machine with you when on holiday.
Inside.. "Tah - dah !".... HRM - her royal majesty - the masterpiece of home espresso machines.
At first sight it has not a real great personality: it looks so stocky, squat, cold, heavy,scary and intimidating but these feelings do only last a few seconds.
You only need to touch "her" to fall suddenly in love with her. It's love at first sight.
Have you ever had a piece of the space shuttle in your hands? That's what i thought when i lifted it and raised it up: a special aluminum cast alloy coupled with Teflon seals, a huge spring, pistons and 3 safety valves - all of them over-sized .
This is not exactly a friendly user machine. This is not a moka Bialetti. I would compare it with the zen bow. When you decide to use it, you must be conscious of yourself; leave all your problems - connecting with the parallel universe of espressolandia -behind!
This evolution of human genius, engineering and creativity is difficult.... to find... to buy ... to use...
That's why it's so attractive, so fashionable , so terrific, so gorgeous, so technological , so stunning, so luxurious, so amazing .. .
Who would need a machine like this?
In my personal and humble opinion, the answer is : everyone who would like to taste a real bar coffee at home,or everywhere he wishes or would like to be , with a camping gas stove and in only 6 minutes without any dimensions problems .
That's it.
The mystery of the perfect alchemy among pressure, heat and water flow has been regularly and continuously studied and searched by engineers and inventors years by years, but it seems that only Mr. Bacchi in the recent past had the will and desire to try, modify, and learn from his failures and also to treasure from his mistakes.
In my collector's experience I've seen several good ideas nullified and defected by stupid and tiny details.
If you are interested, next week, please take a look at the lever forum where I'll compare this machine to the lever machine I have at home.
, which is nothing else than 1 of over 200 coffee machines i have collected.
