Indeed, you do.
Have you been just not yourself until you’ve had your daily caffeine fix by way of an espresso, cappuccino, or latte? Well guess what, you might be a coffeee freak if you answered yes to that question. Like I am. Perhaps you feel a little bit above drip-brewed coffee drinkers. Like me. I find it very difficult, nearly impossible, to enjoy a cup of coffee from a drip-drew system. I just can’t. Ever since I had my very first espresso, in Florence Italy, about 20 years ago. I came home totally spoiled by the experience.
Are you Truly an Espresso-Maniac?
Do you have a personal espresso machine at home? If you do have your own espresso machine at home then you have earned my complete respect and admiration.
If you don’t have your own espresso machine yet then what is holding you back? You’ve most likely desired your own espresso machine for a long time, right? Then …

If you enjoy an espresso drink at home and took the plunge and purchased a pricey quality espresso machine such as the Gaggia Platinum Vision so you can have a latte or cappuccino anytime you would like the next challenge is how to keep your fresh beans fresh.
The whole purpose for having a quality machine at home is freshness. Each espresso is brewed individually with the correct quantity of ground beans to achieve an excellent drink.
Green coffee beans will keep their flavor for years but unfortunately once the beans are roasted the coffee begins to lose flavor as soon as a week after roasting. Once the coffee is ground it will begin losing flavor in an hour and worse yet after it is brewed it loses flavor within minutes.
You might be wondering at this point how to make sure the beans stay fresh? Well right or wrong here is what I do. First I only fill …

Is it possible to make your own authentic Italian espresso, latte, or cappuccino in your own home? It can be for those who have an authentic Italian espresso machine. Gaggia S.p.A. is the Italian company who makes the espresso machines which are acknowledged around the world as being the finest. The company was established in 1948 by Achille Gaggia, the person to whom we are indebted for the success of espresso coffee all over the world: it was this gentleman who on September 5th 1938 filed patent number 365726 with which the modern day steam-free coffee with cream machine may well be said to have been born. In 1977 Gaggia began producing coffee machines for the home, giving to the Italian market Baby Gaggia, which to the present day is looked upon as the ideal family coffee-maker. All products are to the present day produced in the Robecco sul Naviglio factory (Milan), the place where tradition and care for details …
