espresso on the cheap :)

Coffee-week continues, with the elusive espresso.

Ordinarily you would need to drop at least a couple of grand on a machine capable of producing the pressure to make a real espresso (and while those little pre-pressurised portafilters may make something that approximates espresso, this thing uses full-size 58mm group head parts to give you a better than coffee-shop taste, while at home, or on the road)

I have the espresso forge version 2.0 and it works amazingly well; but as is always the case, you need a very high quality grinder and meticulous portafilter prep (a well fitting tamper) to make it all work.
