April 27th, 2012
While we have carried a bottomless portafilter for E61 brew heads that also did work fairly well in the Rancilio Silvia’s brew head, it didn’t seal quite as we might like and so there was often a little bit of water leakage over the top that really was just gauche. Rancilio released their own version [...] Cooking with Kaylie: Chocolate Pasta with Espresso Chocolate Sauce

I’ve always wanted to make chocolate covered espresso beans. They’re delicious and bite sized and oh-so-pretty!

There’s something you should know about me. Ready for it? I love community recipe sites. Seriously. I can spend a whole weekend browsing through them and bookmarking 100+ recipes that I want to make.

March 2nd, 2012
In the world of coffee bean storage, do either of these devices do a better job of keeping your beans fresher, longer?

February 24th, 2012
While we have over 100 different espresso machines at our jittery little fingertips each day, our crew sometimes opts to brew a batch o’ java using a different method. We asked Gail, Bunny, Allie, Brandi and Rade to share which non-espresso coffee preparations they dig the most, then filmed how they do it. We shot [...] Cooking with Kaylie: Espresso Infused Meringue Cookies
