Hi,
I was just wondering about the large response about the drip coffee
topic and if there are any Espresso lovers out there.

As we own a catamaran we always cook underway, hobby of my wife, she
cooks, I eat, yeah, I am a little overweight.

But we are Espresso lovers, what I am looking for is something like a
Baby Gaggia, but in a plastic housing, approx 19bar pressure, no
automatic, no Nespresso (they do not carry my favourite Arabica
beans).

Anyone any idea for a small and lightweight, if possible front only
operated (watercontainer) espresso maker?

regards,

Henry


And don't forget the grinder! You can't possibly be without a $150
burr grinder. And remember, if you can smell the coffee beans after
grinding, you waited to long and lost some of the flavor!
These people on alt.coffee ARE definitely over caffinated.

Heh heh. I'm real picky about coffee at home, but on a boat even
instant will do. Just have to make a little adjustment.
