Here’s the one we use: Manual espresso maker

You’ll need to use it in combination with a milk frothing tool (below).

It’s portable and it makes good espresso. A less expensive option is a manual espresso maker. Cheaper option: manual espresso maker.Here’s the one we use: Countertop Espresso Machine. The steamer steams milk to perfection, and you can pull the most beautiful creamy, espresso. BUT, it’s much, much easier and they come out with better quality. You don’t need a countertop espresso machine to make any of the types of espresso drinks above.

There’s a variety of options and price ranges. There are a few special tools you’ll need to make all types of espresso drinks at home. Variations: Chai Latte, Vanilla Chai Latte, Iced Chai Latte The “dirty” version of it adds a shot of espresso. What's a dirty chai latte? A chai latte takes traditional masala chai, a milky spiced tea from India, and combines it with frothy steamed milk of a cafe latte. Here’s our spin on this coffee house special: it’s just sweet enough, and spiced gently with a special blend of chai spices. Even better, the bitterness of coffee is just right for rounding out the subtle creamy sweetness. And fwiw, I think espresso machines came out in the early 1900's, they're not a "new" thing.One of the best fancy espresso drinks? A Dirty Chai Latte! Adding a shot of espresso to masala chai gives it a jolt of caffeine.

My (now ex) wife never "got it right." She never got it to make crema.Įven Bialetti's site acknowledges that moka pots are "poor man's espresso." Or at least, it did about 10 years ago. In fact, that's how you know you got it right. The moka comes out when I have time to actually use it properly.ĭo it right, and you can get crema from a moka pot. I grew up wiht one in my house, one in my aunt's house, and I have my own. Moka can't deliver that pressure.)īut moka *is* delicious. (Moka's not real espresso, because real espresso needs 9 bar / 120psi and ~190*F for the water. Mokas are hard to control with an electric stove, and with a gas stove you need to ride the flame, and lower it the instant it starts sputtering, or you'll end up with coffee all over your stove. no, it's not a real espresso, yes, a moka will give you far better coffee than any drip ever. We call those "Grecas" or just "cafetera" back home. Sohl writes that he hopes future versions of his project will make use of the Gaggiuino project's own circuit board design and that he'll have his 3D project files posted for sharing. Then again, that describes almost every first-time home espresso setup. The first shot was fast and under-extracted, suggesting a finer grind and settings changes. There's more work to be done on Sohl's unit the exposed boiler and 120-volt wiring need to be hidden, and a drip tray would be nice. And the control panel was 3D-printed, allowing for toggle switches and a touch-panel screen. The low-voltage wires and parts were also tacked onto acrylic, individually crimped, and heat shrink-wrapped.

A 120-volt power connector was salvaged from a PC power supply, then mounted with a 3D-printed bracket. The high-voltage boards and components were assembled breadboard style onto acrylic panels, held up by poster-tack adhesive. Sohl made a chassis for his new machine out of extrusion rails and stiffening plates. From his own machine, he salvaged a pump with a pressure sensor, a boiler with a temperature sensor, an overpressure valve, and brew head. Sohl ended up creating a loose guide to making your own highly configurable machine out of common espresso machine parts and the Gaggiuino software. Most intriguing to Sohl was Gaggiuino, a project that adds those things with the help of an Arduino Nano or STM32 Blackpill, a good deal of electrical work, and open software. An anonymous reader shares a summary from Ars Technica: Like many home espresso enthusiasts, Sohl had seen that his preferred machine, the Gaggia Classic Pro, could be modified in several ways, including adding a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and other modifications to better control temperature, pressure, and shot volumes. In a Substack post, Norm Sohl describes how he built a highly configurable machine out of open source hardware plans and the thermal guts of an Espresso Gaggia.
