Why should I service my coffee machine?

For coffee enthusiasts, a morning routine often begins with the soothing aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The perfect cup is a result of various factors: quality coffee beans, precise grinding, water temperature, and brewing time. However, one crucial aspect that is often overlooked is the maintenance of the coffee machine itself. Just like any other appliance, coffee machines require regular servicing to ensure optimal performance and longevity. In this blog post, we'll delve into the reasons why servicing your coffee machine is essential, the benefits it offers, and how to go about it.

Ensuring Consistent Taste and Quality

Coffee aficionados know that consistency is key when it comes to brewing the perfect cup. A well-maintained coffee machine ensures that each brew delivers the same exceptional taste and aroma that you love. Over time, mineral deposits, coffee oils, and residue can build up within the machine. These impurities not only affect the flavor of the coffee but also clog internal components, leading to uneven brewing and undesirable taste variations.

Regular servicing involves thorough cleaning and descaling of the machine, which removes any buildup and residues. This process restores the machine's ability to heat water efficiently, ensures proper water flow through the coffee grounds, and ultimately results in a consistently delightful cup of coffee.

Extending Lifespan

Investing in a high-quality coffee machine is a financial commitment, and naturally, you'd want to make the most of that investment. Just as regular oil changes prolong the life of a car's engine, routine servicing can significantly extend the lifespan of your coffee machine.

During servicing, technicians inspect various components, identifying any signs of wear and tear. Timely replacement of worn-out parts can prevent small issues from snowballing into major problems that necessitate expensive repairs or, worse, replacement of the entire machine. A well-maintained machine can serve you delicious coffee for years to come.

Optimizing Performance

A coffee machine is a complex piece of equipment with multiple moving parts and intricate systems working in harmony. Even minor issues can affect the machine's overall performance. Common problems like inconsistent brewing temperatures, water leaks, or steam irregularities can lead to subpar coffee quality and frustration.

Regular servicing addresses these issues proactively. Technicians calibrate the machine, ensuring that it maintains the correct temperature and pressure levels needed for optimal brewing. This not only enhances the flavor but also reduces the likelihood of technical malfunctions that disrupt your morning routine.

Energy Efficiency

In today's world, energy efficiency is a vital consideration for both environmental and economic reasons. Coffee machines that aren't properly maintained often consume more energy than necessary. For instance, mineral deposits can accumulate on heating elements, forcing them to work harder to achieve the desired temperature. This not only wastes energy but also increases your electricity bill.

During servicing, technicians clean and inspect heating elements, electrical connections, and other energy-consuming components. This ensures that the machine operates efficiently, reducing its environmental footprint and your utility expenses.

Health and Hygiene

A clean coffee machine is not only crucial for the quality of your coffee but also for your health. Residue buildup, moisture, and warmth provide an ideal breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and other pathogens. Without regular maintenance, these microorganisms can find their way into your coffee, potentially causing health issues.

Professional servicing involves a thorough cleaning regimen that eliminates these risks. From steam wands to water reservoirs, every nook and cranny is sanitized, ensuring that your coffee is not only delicious but also safe to consume.

Conclusion

Your coffee machine is more than just an appliance; it's a partner in your quest for the perfect cup of coffee. Regular servicing is the key to unlocking its full potential. By ensuring consistent taste, extending its lifespan, optimizing performance, promoting energy efficiency, and safeguarding your health, servicing your coffee machine service is an investment that pays off in various ways. So, the next time you savor that delightful morning brew, remember that behind the scenes, a well-maintained machine is working diligently to make that experience possible.

Common Personality Traits

22,778 baristas were surveyed to learn what personality traits and interests make them unique. Based on the Holland Codes:

Baristas tend to be predominantly conventional individuals, meaning that they are usually detail-oriented and organized, and like working in a structured environment.

They also tend to be realistic, which means that they often enjoy working outdoors or applying themselves to a hands-on project.

Based on The Big Five:

Baristas score highly on openness, which means they are usually curious, imaginative, and value variety.

They also tend to be high on the measure of extraversion, meaning that they rely on external stimuli to be happy, such as people or exciting surroundings.

Barista Tools

Baristas use a wide variety of tools to complete their duties. Some common tools:

Espresso Machine. Allows you to brew highly concentrated black coffee. During this process, the machine forces pressurized hot water through finely grounded coffee. Some types of drinks you can make using an espresso machine include: Macchiato; Cafe latte; Cappuccino; Mocha; Affogato; and Americano

Frothing Steam Pitcher. Used to create any drink that requires milk. A frothing stream pitcher helps you create a milk foam to top off a cup of coffee. You can also use this type of pitcher to create an assortment of latte art. Frothing pitchers are stainless steel and feature a handle and pouring spout. A narrow spout can offer control when pouring latte art, such as a heart or rose. You can also find frothing pitchers in different sizes, depending on the amount of milk you want to froth.

Foam Frothing Spoon. After creating foam from a steam pitcher, you can use a foam frothing spoon to control how much foam you pour over a cup of coffee. Using a frothing spoon can prevent spilling that may occur when pouring the foam into a cup of coffee. This type of spoon features a flat tip that makes it easier to scoop only foam from a steaming pitcher.

Thermometer. When making espresso, it's important to consider the brewing temperature, along with that of the milk froth. If your espresso machine doesn't come with a proportional-integral-derivative, use a thermometer to measure espresso as it leaves the brew head.When making a drink that requires steamed milk, it's important for the milk to reach the ideal temperature of about 149 degrees Fahrenheit. To reach this temperature, consider using a frothing thermometer for complete accuracy. A frothing thermometer can also help you avoid burning the milk while ensuring a caramelized milk finish that can elevate the flavor of any coffee.

Commercial Coffee Maker. This type of coffee maker lets you brew a standard cup of coffee. After filling it with water and coffee grounds, a coffee maker filters hot water through a basket holding coffee grounds. After filtering, black coffee enters the coffee pot. You can use this black coffee for a standard cup of coffee or for other drinks such as an iced coffee or latte.

Tamper. Baristas use tampers to brew espresso, whether in a machine or through a stovetop espresso maker. A tamper lets you pack loosely dosed coffee grounds so they're tightly pressed, ensuring a quality espresso shot. You can also adjust the length of a tamper depending on the espresso dosage.

Scale. Helps you achieve a consistent and accurately measured espresso shot. In terms of measurement, a scale helps you determine the amount of beans you use for one shot. If you use a quality grinder with a doser, you may not need a scale.

Coffee Grinder. Grinds fresh coffee beans before the brewing process. A coffee grinder lets you grind as much coffee as needed, whether for an espresso shot or a large batch of coffee. Many coffee grinders have conical burrs that let you select the size of your coffee grounds.

first kiss // [an ot8 series]➥ HHJ

Hwang Hyunjin

part of the first kiss Masterlist, a simple unrelated drabble series of your first kiss genre: fluff! actor!hyunjin x actress!reader summary: Your director friend has someone in mind to play your romantic interesting in an upcoming movie: Hwang Hyunjin. word count: 3k warnings: Use of Y/N. Hongjoong appearance. Cursing. Writer has limited knowledge about audition processes lol not exactly proof read, hehe oops a/n: i'm struggling on these short drabbles, mostly because i feel compelled to overwrite to explain/build a backstory or connect. god idk how to feel about this one. ANYWAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HWANG HYUNJIN!!!

⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄⠂☆

Hongjoong has been not only a close friend, but a trusted work partner since your second ever feature film. He’s only slightly older than you, but in a professional sense, he’s been directing since he was fifteen; back then it was music videos for friends who were aspiring musicians. He quickly adopted the starving artist attitude and worked on numerous projects– audition tapes, commercials, small inserts in shows or tv broadcasts, until finally he hit the jackpot with a very indie film that caught the attention of the masses. Since then, he’s found success after success, whether it be big or small. 

So when Hongjoong said he found a fresh new face –Hwang Hyunjin– on stage while watching a local play that would be a perfect fit for the role opposite of yours in your upcoming movie, you were 80% on board. The other 20% was skeptical; Hyunjin had only been in three small plays. He worked his way up from a background actor, a supporting role, and most recently one of the leading actors. 

“Y/N, trust me on this, okay? Have I ever steered you wrong?” Hoongjoong crosses his legs in his seat across from you and he lifts his cup full of espresso to his lips. He exudes confidence: perfectly tailored gingham printed trousers, a matching brown colored cardigan with a crisp white wide collar shirt underneath. He wears his glasses low on the bridge of his nose, eyes not even looking at you because he knows he’s right. 

“No, you have not.” Your eyes scan over the text of the script, flipping through the pages as you speed read through it. 

“And you know I’m right about these things,” Hongjoong clicks his tongue for emphasis. “I was right about you.” 

You glance at him now, annoyed at how true that was. Your story was a little different from Hyunjin’s: a child actress that started out in commercials, roles on lesser known TV shows, a small role in a movie. Then your agent found the script to one of Hongjoong’s movies and since then, you’ve worked on a couple of projects with him. So while you had similarities, you’re a… more seasoned actress. 

Hongjoong flashes his pearly whites, taking your silence as a win. “Anyway, I set up a meeting with you guys since he’ll be your romantic partner. You guys can rehearse your lines for a chemistry read.” 

⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄⠂☆

You reread the text message from Hongjoong. He had given you the address of a cafe near his studio where Hyunin and you would meet. You look up at the large printed numbers above the entrance of each shops you pass by, trying to find the place. Soon, smell of coffee fills your nose and you know you’re closeby. 

When you find the shop and open the door, a soft murmur of conversations float through the air, just over the clinking and clanking of espresso machines and blenders behind the counter. You fall in line, deciding to grab a coffee before looking around the place for Hyunjin. With your latte in hand, you set out to find your possible co-star. 

You’re not sure what he looks like, really, but you’re looking at the tables, ruling out anyone that’s seated with someone already. The cafe looked like a good co-working space, with tons of outlets for laptop chargers, even a couple of work meetings happening, judging by fancy work jargon you weren’t familiar with; something about the measurements of last quarter’s KPI. 

Finally, your eyes land on a man with black hair that barely touches his shoulders, half of it tied up in an effortless way, with bangs that frame his cheekbones.  A pair of thin silver-framed glasses sits high on his nose bridge as his eyes peer down at his phone, a thick bundle of papers in front of him on the table. You confirm it's him when you read the title of the upcoming movie in plain text on the binded papers’ front page. 

You pull the chair out from across from him, smiling once he takes notice of you. His eyes are a little wide, taken by surprise. “Hyunjin? Hi, I’m Y/N.Hoongjoong told me a little bit about you.” 

Hyunjin’s dark brown eyes follow your form as you sit in your chair and place your coffee down in front of him. “Ah,” He scratches at the back of his head nervously and clears his throat. “Hi. Hongjoong didn’t…” He struggles for a little bit, wondering if he should say what he’s thinking. “Well, Hongjoong didn’t really have to tell me much about you.” 

“Oh?” You sit your bag and coat on the empty chair next to you. 

“Yeah. I mean, I’ve definitely seen a couple of Hongjoong’s films before. So when he said that the script was going to you, I rewatched Loveless, and I ended up watching a drama you were in.” Hyunjin straightens his back and sits up straight in his chair. 

You find him watching your past projects a little embarrassing. You’re nowhere near as known as Hongjoong himself is, you choose to do smaller films and short series on television; you aren’t sure you’re ready to do anything more than that. Loveless was the movie you had first done with Hongjoong. It was a romance movie about two star crossed lovers that ended on a bitter note.  As for dramas, you have been in a few. “Which one if you don’t mind me asking?”

“My Secret Life.” Hyunjin’s smile stretches the corners of his lips to show a dimple and you find yourself smiling back at him, purely based on the energy his smile radiates. 

“Oh no, that was a very… fluffy and cringy show!” You laugh off how self-conscious you feel all of a sudden. 

“Oh yea, it definitely was.” Hyunjin takes a sip of his drink. It looks to be a strawberry-matcha-something-or-other if you were to go by the colors. “But you were really good in it! The fact that I felt second hand embarrassment in those scenes meant you were delivering your lines well.” 

You give Hyunjin a lopsided smile, biting the inside of your cheek to keep from smiling ear to ear. The praise he was giving you was enough to inflate your ego, but you quickly shook it away and nodded your head. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Your eyes glance at the script in front of him. “Have you read it over?”

Hyunjin takes his phone off of the cover and slips it into his pocket. With one hand, he flips opens the script and flips through a couple of pages. “Yes and I have a couple of notes that I wanted to go through with you, if you didn’t mind?”

Your eyes light up, pleasantly surprised at how professional and prepared he came, despite this possibly being his first film. “Wow, yeah of course! We can go to hongjoong’s studio if you’d like. He’s got a conference room we could use.”

“Perfect.” Hyunjin stands up and grabs his script, tucking it under his arm while he grabs his drink. He comes around the table to your chair and while you move to stand up, he takes your coat and bag in one hand, offering it to you and scooting the chair back in behind you. 

It's then you notice how tall he is, how his black knit sweater seems to just drape over his body. The slim silver chain around his neck dangles, elongating his tall frame even more. You almost struggle to keep up with his long strides.

The walk to Director Hongjoong’s studio was only a couple of blocks away, but it allowed you to get to know each other more. 

Hyunjin walks next to you, letting you lead the way. When you pause at the crosswalk, you look both ways as you ask, “When was the first time you’ve ever acted?”

Hyunjin smiles as he reminisces. He remembers small Hyunjin, eight years old, way too excited for his one-line part in a school play. “Elementary school. I was Sheep Number 2’ during a manger scene during the Christmas play. ‘He’s here! He’s here!’ That is the only thing I said for the one and a half hour show.” He shakes his whole body, trying to get rid of the embarrassing memory. 

You find it cute. 

“What about you, what was your first acting experience?” 

“A diaper commercial." You laugh, as you usually do, when you tell someone about how your dad signed you up for a diaper commercial, convinced you were the sweetest and most beautiful baby ever. "How'd your audition go with Hongjoong?"

"It went alright," Hyunjin shrugs, a little lacking in confidence. If Hongjoong picked him for the role, it went more than alright. You knew that Hongjoong did not settle for anything less than the vision in his mind. "I was a little surprised that he came up to me after that play to tell me to audition."

You give him a reassuring smile, "Well I'm excited to rehearse with you. Hongjoong doesn't pick just anyone."

Soon, you find yourselves in front of Hongjoong’s creative studio. Large windows to let in all the natural light, low couches in earth and jewel tones. A lot of the furniture was a mix-matched amalgamation of sorts, yet they all came together to form a cohesive vibe. Because of all the natural light, there were many plants around including tall monsteras, snake plants, vining and crawling ones, and a succulent wall piece. 

Hyunjin’s mouth dropped as he gasped. The place was beautiful. 

However, being friends with Hongjoong now for a couple of years, it was just how Hongjoong was. Not to discredit how beautiful the place was, but it just made sense for him. 

“We can use the room at the end of the hall.” 

Hyunjin nods and takes the initiative to lead the way, opening the door for you and closing it behind him, then taking a seat next to you. 

No longer is he the wide-eyed boy with a sweet smile and dimples that you saw out in the lobby, his brows are straight with focus as he goes over the script, pencil in hand as you both takes notes straight on the script’s page. 

You go back and forth over how you should deliver certain lines, seeking validation from each other and giving criticism and offering advice. In order to nail the chemistry read, the both of you had to really have a good grasp of the characters’ personality at that point in the script. 

Hyunjin places his pencil on a specific line. “So, at this point, my character seems to be more himself. Like he doesn’t have to hold back.” 

You nod, leaning over slightly to read his script for context since you were on another page. “Oh, m’hmm.” You hum. “I think that’s where my character kind of knows what she’s gotten herself into with him.” You bite the inside of your cheek and look back at your own script, turning it to the same page as Hyunjin’s. “I was thinking that she should be a little more bold and really just go for this kiss.” 

Hyunjin tilts his head, mulling the choice over. “Do you think that would be a drastic change though? Like she just suddenly gets the confidence?” 

Your brows scrunch together and you flip back through the pages, quickly reading over the lines to see your characters’ interactions with one another. At this particular point in the plot, your character has mostly shown characteristics of someone that was a little timid, a little cautious to go after something that isn’t considered a ‘safe’ choice. Hyunjin’s character is the type of guy that has fallen for your character who isn’t exactly his type, so he’s gentle around her, but this scene seems to be a small moment that leads into a later big moment. 

Finally, you nod and make your own notes. “You’re right. I think this scene is supposed to be a bit more subtle. Like a small action that makes her realize there’s no going back.”

Hyunjin’s eyes beam as he nods. “Yes, exactly! She’s supposed to be this girl who’s typically very level-headed, a creature of habit, but here she sees the option of ‘Do I choose something I’m not used to or do I go back to something I know’.” 

The excitement in Hyunjin’s voice and his animated gestures are infectious and now you are also excited about the direction of the scene. Obviously, Hongjoong would have the final say during filming, but it was always good to be on the same page, especially since this was for a chemistry read. 

Hyunjin stretches his arms above his head, loosening his stiff back muscles from sitting at the table for so long. You two were working so hard to ensure the chemistry read would go well that you hadn’t even noticed how dark it was outside. “So, why don’t we rehearse a couple of times and then we’ll call it?”

You agreed, standing up from your chair and stretching, too. You had to admit to yourself that Hyunjin’s work ethic was admirable. You wonder if it was that young starving artist feeling that you seemed to have lost at some point; you hadn’t felt this optimistic about a script in awhile. Whatever it was, it motivated you to match his energy: exciting for the possibilities that the film could present. Though he worked hard, it wasn’t at all intimidating, especially since he shared his thoughts with you often. It helped you engage one another and it made you feel comfortable. 

You both flip to the correct page of the scene you were to present to Hongjoong. 

Hyunjin clears his throat and reads his lines one more time before placing himself at the edge of the table, leaning back on it casually. He takes his glasses off and folds them neatly, placing them on the desk. Finally, to put himself into character, he rolls his sleeves up, showing off his strong forearms. When he looks up at you, your met with slightly hooded eyes, sultry, like there was only one thing on his mind: You. 

Your mouth goes dry under his gaze. You nearly have to remind yourself to get into character, that this was apart of a scene. You quickly pull yourself together and, similar to Hyunjin, you become your character: a little trepidatious, but intrigued. You don’t have to look at your lines, you’ve gone over them in your head multiple times already while jotting down notes. 

“So, Mina was right?” You deliver the line in such a way that your voice toes the line between playful curiosity and accusatory. 

Hyunjin acts on his notes on the script, crossing his arms over each other, a body language tick that shows he’s feeling cornered and withdrawing a little from the question. “It depends, what did she say?” 

Your eyebrows knit a little and your lips twitch into a small smile, but it’s a sad one, as if you’re hoping it’s not true. “You don’t do relationships.” 

Hyunjin uncrosses his arms, and pushes himself off the table. He grabs another chair and sits it across from you. His body is turned totally towards you while you are looking at him from the side, body turned 90 degrees away from him. “No. I don’t. They’re… “ He pauses, as if searching for the right words, despite knowing his next line.  “Messy.”  His voice is gentle despite how much they’re supposed to sting your character’s heart. 

“Well, I mean, they don’t have to be?” Your voice poses it as a question, as if trying to persuade Hyunjin into giving a relationship a try. 

“No, they don’t have to be,” Hyunjin pulls your seat closer to him, turning it around so you face him. His legs are spread apart, while yours together fit in the gap between them. “But why mess thing’s up?” Hyunjin reaches his hand up to tuck a strand of hair behind your face to get a better look of you. A small smirk dances on his lips as he leans forward. He allows a pause, space for your character to dismiss him, to back away, to shoot him down. 

Instead, you lean into his touch and exhale deeply. 

Hyunjin’s smirk turns into a smile and he leans in even more, his lips so close to yours. For a moment, it’s tense with him just hovering there. 

“This is where we would kiss.” 

Hyunjin swallows a lump in his throat, chuckling to himself awkward. “Yeah,” He doesn’t make a move to back away as his cheeks grow warm with clumsiness and embarrasment. 

You quickly take a glimpse of him and notice that he’s staring, just staring, at your lips. Subconsciously you lick your lips, almost a plea for him to go for it. 

“Ah, fuck it.”

 You almost laugh, but before it can escape you, he’s crashing his lips on yours. The kiss is electric, it sends tingles down your spine, all the way to the tips of your toes. His long fingers and large palm cradles your face while you not only accept, but return the kiss. Your lips mold onto his, soft and pillowy. There’s a short fight for dominance until your whole body relaxes to his touch. When you pull away, you’re left breathless. You can’t even look him in the eyes, you’re embarrassed. 

How could a novice actor rock you to your core like that?

Hyunjin clears his throat and nonchalantly backs his chair away from yours and turns his attention back to the table and his open script. 

You finally catch your breath, running your hand through your hair to compose yourself. Your manicured fingers tug at the collar of your shirt before you roll your chair next to his, following his example. You take your pencil and gesture to jot down notes into the margin of your script, but all you’re doing is scribbling circles next to the line that state that the characters kiss and you can’t help but to feel like you’re drawing how your stomach feels, fluttery, jumbled up, nervous and excited. 

You sneak a look at Hyunjin through the corner of your eyes, only to see that the blush has stayed on his cheeks. He is however writing down notes. You sit up in your chair a little straighter to give you a good look at his messy writing. 

‘Confidently kiss her. Make sure it’s a kiss that leaves her wanting more.’ 

You’ll have to tell him another time that that is exactly what that kiss was giving. 

Right now, you have to tell Hongjoong that there will be no need for a chemistry read. The chemistry was there, alright.

I was looking something up on YouTube last night, and thinking about The Algorithm.

Now, a lot of people rightly deride The Algorithm. Especially on social media it's this thing which causes the service to show you stuff-other-than-what-you-chose-to-see. It literally exists to stand between you and the content you're after for the purpose of extracting dollars from your eyeballs. From a user perspective it serves no purpose, it cannot serve a positive purpose, and the user experience would be better on all metrics by simply removing The Algorithm altogether.

But, you know, on stuff which isn't social media, there's potential value to the algorithm. This isn't quite realized, mind, but it's possible and maybe shouldn't be ignored.

When you're talking a platform in which I could reasonably be searching for, rather than selecting, content, The Algorithm can exist as an assistive device.

For example, the other day I was looking up "How to pull a shot on a La Pavonia". Note, for some damned reason my fingers consistently slip and call my new espresso machine a "La Pavonia" and not a "La Pavoni".

There's a lot of content. And depending on how you handle the search, most of it is irrelevant - or it's so specific as to not offer what I'm seeking.

In the strictest form of my search, there'd be nothing: I'm looking for a particular grammatical construction with a specific misspelling, and there's likely just nothing there. Moreoever, most of what I want is "How to pull a shot on a Europiccola" or "How to pull a shot on a Stradiavari" (specific models of La Pavonia lever action machines); I own an Ambassador Professional, which is even more obscure. So I might never find a damned thing under strict search.

But if it just goes "Well, two out of three ain't bad" I'm going to get "How to pull a shot on an espresso machine" and that's going to show me allllll this stuff for semi-automatic machines with in-depth discussion of grind size and tamping technique, and that's simply not what I'm after.

Which comes to the idea of The Algorithm as an assistive device. Since I'm not likely to readily come up with the specific descriptions of these videos, it's good that the algorithm connects "Europiccola" and "Stradiavari" with "La Pavoni". That it on some level knows "pulling a shot" in this context relates to espresso and not, I dunno, paintball.

This can go to a kinda creepy place, in that it might be able to - based on the model of me which it has - know that I'm an individual and not a coffee shop, and thus I'm very likely not looking for the commercial-grade La Pavoni machines with three group heads and a direct water hookup. Or, in theory, it could even be able to ask "La Pavoni makes both single-head machines intended for home use and multi-head machines for commercial use; which do you want to view?". And at one point some platforms actually did say "You typed 'La Pavonia', showing content for 'La Pavoni'. Show results for 'La Pavonia' instead?"

My point is, in theory The Algorithm can exist as a tool which allows humans to navigate what is functionally an impossibly huge sea of information. While pride may say we don't need this help, the reality is we definitely do. And this is not a bad thing.

The problem is not that The Algorithm exists. The problem is which master it serves. It doesn't exist to make the user experience better. It doesn't exist to help us find the things we actually want. And it's not being improved to perform those tasks better. Rather, it exists to serve the desires of the advertisers and the platform: to drive more clicks and more views rather than a simple view of the actual desired content. To put more crap in front of more eyeballs to extract more wealth and feed into the cannibalistic advertising ecosystem which increasingly degrades the actual function of the entire system. And there's a very, very justified hatred of this thing.

But we shouldn't forget that the underlying technology isn't inherently evil. It's a thing we need more and more with each passing day, and it was invented originally to meet that need; it is not bad, it has been corrupted.

So, the CBC posted a rather poorly written article about the archived video you can play at the link below. But they also posted a news segment from the CBC Vancouver TV station in 1993. As in, thirty years ago. All about the trendy new (in 1993) craze for cappuccino rather than ordinary coffee. A craze that was then sweeping North America, including Vancouver.

The 1993-era manager at Bridges (an iconic Vancouver restaurant that was open from 1980 to 2021) is interviewed by the reporter. He reveals they sell many cappuccinos since they installed their espresso machine, and sell them for $2.75 a pop. The way the restaurant manager says “$2.75” makes it clear he knows most viewers of the 6 o’clock news will think that’s a crazy amount of money for anyone to spend on a beverage.

There’s been a lot of inflation between 1993 and 2023. $2.75 CAD could probably get you an ordinary drip coffee at Starbucks in 2023. But a fancy drink with espresso, steamed milk, etc would probably run you closer to $6 CAD with tax. Maybe more, if you want a big size.

The segment also shows the Robson Street intersection in downtown Vancouver that, in 1993, had the highest coffee consumption in North America. Mainly because the street-level businesses on 3 of the 4 sides of that intersection were all fancy coffee shops selling espresso-based beverages.

No idea if they still have 3 coffee bars at that intersection. I know for a long time there were 2 Starbucks kitty corner across from each other at that intersection. Don’t know if it’s still true, as I haven’t been to Robson in years. Robson Street is chock-a-block full of tourists any time of year.

It’s also cool because it talks about Commercial Drive, which was (kinda sorta still is) Vancouver’s Little Italy.* My apartment building is 2 blocks from Commercial Drive. Below I’ve posted the Instagram profile and Yelp page for Caffe Calabria, Vancouver’s oldest continually operating coffee bar. Which I believe may still be family owned. Caffe Calabria is 4 blocks from me, and the decor inside is wild! Hence me linking to both Yelp and Insta, so you can check out the photos.

In my opinion, the coffee itself is actually better across the street at Continental Coffee (another longtime Commercial Drive standby, and also Italian, despite the bland name). But Calabria also does lovely grilled paninis, desserts and gelato, and has more space. Continental Coffee I go there strictly for the espresso-based beverages, not for a meal and a look at all the (mostly full-sized) reproductions of famous Italian statues. Those line the walls at Caffe Calabria, and it’s fun.

https://instagram.com/caffe.calabria?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

I found these photos from Café Calabria that you should check out https://yelp.to/t8NRz9frW4

Weird thinking that until probably the mid-to-late late 1980s, Commercial Drive was the only place in Vancouver you could buy espresso-based beverages. I’m a bit fuzzy as to when exactly the fancy coffee craze took off, as I was only born in 1976. Judging by the CBC News segment, it was well underway by 1993. I can’t really remember a time when fancy coffee bars weren’t around, although I admit they were not as ubiquitous when I was a teenager as they are now. But I don’t think I drank coffee of any kind, ever, until I was at least 16. And I didn’t turn 16 until October 1992.

* Commercial Drive is still called LIttle Italy, and it certainly still has an unusually high proportion of Italian coffee bars, restaurants, delis, and places where you can buy fresh (not dried) pasta and other Italian food. But nowadays you can’t throw a rock on Commercial without also hitting restaurants serving Ethiopian, Japanese, Indian, Jamaican, Lebanese, Vietnamese, Salvadorean cuisine, etc.

And the population of the surrounding houses and apartment buildings hasn’t been primarily Italian for a very long time. I moved to the area in 2002, and it was already extremely multicultural, multiracial, and multilingual. Every continent represented except Antarctica!

But every time the Italy men’s football soccer in Canada and the US) team is playing in either the World Cup or the Euros, the Italian-Canadian diaspora (normally scattered all over the Greater Vancouver area) converges on Commercial Drive. They watch the games on the big TVs in the Italian restaurants and coffee houses here, and whenever Italy wins a match, they spill out onto the street and stop the traffic, waving little Italian flags. Or sometimes big Italian flags. Even though most of them are third or fourth generation Canadian by now and no longer speak the language.

I think that happens partly because Canada’s men’s national soccer team was always dreadful until only 2 or 3 years ago. Canada was never playing in the World Cup or the Euros, because it never qualified. So people cheered for the countries their grandparents or great grandparents immigrated from instead. Which, for people of Italian descent, meant trips to Commercial Drive.

The same situation does not happen whenever the Women’s World Cup is held. But Canada has an excellent national team in women’s football/soccer (or was, until very recently), and it’s usually a contender. Its unforeseen, humiliating, and headline-generating early departure from the 2023 Women’s World Cup notwithstanding. Italy’s national women’s team has a much less distinguished history. In my experience, most Italian-Canadians, like most human beings, want to cheer on the country they think will have at least a chance at winning the tournament (Canada), not the country that rarely even qualifies for said tournament (Italy).

It’s the same reason Italian-Canadians usually cheer for Italy rather than Canada in the men’s World Cup and Euros. At the men’s World Cup in 2022, Canada qualified for the first time since 1986. While Italy shocked the world by not qualifying. All the Italian restaurants and coffee bars that usually fly Italian flag bunting quickly switched to maple leaf bunting in 2022 to bring in World Cup customers. Many fewer than usual, because the Italian diaspora had no need to descend on Commercial Drive from the suburbs, with Italy missing the tournament.

Water for Coffee & Espresso: Filters, Flavor & Machines

If you're serious about your espresso game, you've probably obsessed over the beans, the grind, the machine—but what about the water? Whether you're a home barista or run a coffee shop, understanding the right water for espresso machines is crucial. Let's break down everything you need to know in this ultimate guide.

What Is the Best Water for Coffee and Espresso Machines?

The ideal coffee water isn’t just clean—it’s balanced. It should have the right mineral content to bring out flavor, but not so much that it damages your machine.

Quick facts:

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) should be around 75-150 ppm.

pH should be close to neutral (around 7).

Avoid high chlorine levels and heavy metals.

Hard water causes scale; soft water can under-extract.

This balance is key to getting the best taste from your espresso machine water.

What Happens If I Use Tap Water?

Using straight tap water can be a gamble. It might contain:

Chlorine, which creates off-flavors.

Limescale-forming minerals, which can clog up your machine.

Inconsistent taste, especially in different cities.

That's why filtered water is a must if you want consistently excellent espresso—especially with dark roast espresso, where bitterness can be amplified by poor-quality water.

What's the Best Water Filter for Coffee?

Finding the best water filter for coffee depends on your setup:

Pitcher Filters (like Brita or Soma) – Better than nothing, but not always precise enough for espresso machines.

Inline Espresso Machine Filters – Installed directly in your water line. Great for commercial or high-use setups.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) – Offers ultra-pure water, but often requires remineralization for flavor balance.

Third-wave Coffee Filters – Some brands offer mineral packs to help you dial in your own water profile.

If you're using a premium machine, a dedicated filter for espresso machine water is well worth the investment—it protects your machine and your flavor.

Does Water Really Affect Dark Roast Espresso Flavor?

Absolutely. Dark roast espresso has bold, rich, and often smoky notes. The right coffee water will:

Emphasize chocolate and caramel tones.

Reduce sour or overly bitter flavors.

Help create a fuller body and smoother finish.

Bad water can flatten the taste or make the espresso taste "burnt" or "ashy." Good water enhances the natural depth of dark roasts.

Final Thoughts: It’s Not Just About the Beans

It’s easy to overlook the impact of water, but when you dial in the best water for espresso machines, everything changes. Your shots taste cleaner, bolder, and better balanced—especially with that rich dark roast espresso you love.

So next time you're troubleshooting your coffee, don't just adjust the grind or the dose—take a hard look at your coffee water. It might be the missing piece of your perfect cup.
