Brevile BES860XL Barista Machine Express.



So, I liked the Breville from all the reviews but was worried about some of the negativity on the "wet puck" I had read. All the reviews mentioned excellent coffee though, so it was on my short list.

Breville BES860XL, also known as the Barista Express Programmable Expresso. From the looks you can tell this unit has exchanged the hot water dispenser for a bean grinder. This unit is a fully automatic expresso machine with the super automatic feature of grinding a pre-measure of beans for your brew. Note, it is not a super automatic machine as you still need to manually mount the portafilter into the group head, and clean the filter afterwards. This is as automatic as you will want to go if you want to really control your coffee.

But, let me walk you through the pleasure:
1. the box. this has excellent graphics -- even as you open, the getting started guide and pictures guide you along. The unit removes easily.
2. The tamper is magnetically held in place on the front of the machine -- you can use it in place or remove for manual tamping.
3. New: -there is a dry puck feature now for all the fussy reviews -- this removes excess water so you get, a dry puck
- an excellent burr grinder -- you can dismantle this for cleaning, and it has a wide range of control
- for those that previously complained about the "cheat" dual wall filters -- the unit comes with single and double dual wall AND single wall filters
- there is a hideaway storage tray to hold all the small goodies
4. Steaming -- excellent steam temperature and pressure -- works very well with the provided frothing jug, very minimal excess water to start
5. The real test. I am using the dual wall filters, and the Illy whole expresso beans I got from Italy were made into pure heavenly expresso. Nice crema. This is the real thing.



This is one finely engineered machine. From a mechanically inclined electrical engineer to the folks at Breville: you have created an exceptionally functional piece that does the job. Did I mention it is beautiful on the counter as well? I have it on an island, no bad sides.

Drawbacks: none. BUT, when making a real expresso shot, make sure you pre-warm your demitasse. Otherwise the expresso will heat up your cup and your coffee will not be hot. I run a water cycle first into my cup to heat up the group head and the cup.

In my opinion this is the best buy in the market under $1500. At the office, daily I use a super automatic machine that is at that top end.

I made a cursory read-through of the manual and having never owned a machine like this, but certainly having purchased a lot of coffee shop espressos across the globe, I thought I could jump right in and make some great drinks. Well, in part true, but I hit a point where I almost returned it. I started off with the double-wall filter and it made a very decent shot. Then I figured I try out the single wall filter. 2 weeks later and after joining the ranks of Corn-holio, I hit the jackpot.

During the first 2 weeks, I went from a moderate grind and a middle grind amount to the finest setting and about 2/3 away around the grind amount dial. I even far exceeded the recommended tamping pressure. The result was always an under extracted and bitter shot. Most of the time the puck was wet on top and a bit messy to clean up. Each time I pressed the double-shot button, the pressure wouldn't even rise into the darker colored scale. No matter how fine the grind, or how hard I tamped the coffee the result was the same. I thought maybe it was the bean I chose or just a lousy grinder. Nope.

The day before yesterday I decided to read through the manual very carefully and try doing what they say step by step, not just what the cartoon correction diagram showed. I pre-heated the cup by running hot water through the filter and portafilter, thereby warming it. Then I immediately dried the portafilter/single-wall filter and filled it with freshly ground coffee. I added some coffee, pressed it down lightly into the filter with my fingers and added more. Then I tamped it with about 20 pounds of pressure. When finished, the tamper's stainless rim near the bottom was not completely recessed in the portafilter, leaving it filled to within 1/8". After cleaning the rim thoroughly I simply attached the group head and pressed the pre-programmed double shot. Killer espresso - like ones I've had in the finest Italian shops. Cleanup was a dream because the puck was nearly dry - it just popped out. Wow. Cleaning between shots is important - reheating is as well. If you follow these (Breville's) directions you will be more than pleased with this machine. I now feel like I got my $600 worth.

I changed a few things all at once, so I can't necessarily put my finger on exactly what changed the output. Pre-heating and filling the single-wall filter to an after-tamped level near the top seems to be the key. I love this machine now. As with the other reviews, I think the "clean me" light comes on with just a pre-set number of cycles since I too use filtered water and clean incessantly. The machine is heavy, solid and well laid out. Watch out while filling the reservoir so as not to get even a few drops close to the hopper - jamming problems and a difficult clean. I don't like leaving the tamper in the magnetic mount to tamp my coffee, but it's a great place to store it. The wand for frothing is fantastic, but I normally prefer straight espresso. My lovely wife prefers cappuccino and we're now working on some good cup art, no longer worrying about trying to nail the perfect shot. I do recommend this machine, but I highly recommend reading the directions word for word, front to back in the manual and adhering to their advice. Breville designed it and they know how to get the best results. With practice, you too will snub your nose at Starbucks from now on.

Best of luck.

16-Ounce Travel Mug 'Trudeau Board Room Black '



It is definitely worth the price I paid for it, especially in comparison to other brands out there,Trudeau makes some of the best mugs.
Here is a brief breakdown of pros and cons for this one:
Pros:
-It keeps coffee hot for a good amount of time, definitely for 2+ hours. It helps if you rinse the mug with hot water before filling it with your coffee.
-It looks very chic and is easy to handle.
-You can drink from pretty much any direction, due to its lid design.
-in its closed position, it's 100% leak proof.
Cons:
-The lid: there is a switch on top to open and close, however, it's hard to see the written words on top to see which position it is in. It would have been so much more helpful to have a color tab, or something more obvious to let me figure out whether it's sealed or not. In the dark, forget about it, can't see a thing. I spilled coffee in my purse, on my car seat etc thinking I had it closed but it wasn't.
-the leather-like wrap around it. It looks great, but makes it impossible to put it in the dishwasher, which is inconvenient for msome people.



This is a real travel mug, the only one I would ever buy again, as soon as I found a place that sold them, I bought the 2 they had on the shelf and came back a week later to by the 3 more they got back in for gifts. I have already given one to a horseback riding friend of mine and she loves it.

Great mug, great closing mechanism design and more than a satisfied custome

Kindle Fire specification with Picture






only $199,you have a great gadget in your hands..

Amazon Kindle Fire Full Preview & Specifications Price:199$ Only



The $199 Amazon Kindle Fire has gotten its announcement a little early, and not from Amazon at all. Bloomberg, citing Amazon executives, reports that the Kindle Fire is a 7-inch tablet running Android and functioning as a “souped-up version of the Kindle.” To reach that keen price, Amazon has eschewed the integration of a camera, microphone or 3G, though the Fire will come with WiFi and a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. Prime membership typically costs $79 per year and grants the benefits of free two-day shipping and access to Amazon’s video-streaming service.

Jeff Bezos has confirmed all of the foregoing at Amazon’s launch event and has added some more specs: the Kindle Fire has a Gorilla Glass-protected, multitouch-capable IPS display, a TI OMAP4 dual-core processor, and at 14.6 ounces (413g), a pretty lightweight frame. The resolution on that screen is 1024 x 600, same as on RIM’s BlackBerry Playbook, and the Kindle Fire’s physical dimensions are 7.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 inches (190 x 120 x 11.5mm). There’s 8GB of built-in storage and the battery’s rated to last for eight hours of continuous reading or 7.5 hours of video playback (with WiFi switched off). A 3.5mm headphone jack is naturally included as is a pair of top-mounted stereo speakers.

On the software front, we’re told that Amazon has “painted over the rough surfaces” of Android with its own, more accessible user interface and has closely tied the device with its content library. That includes the Amazon App Store, which has grown to number over 10,000 applications, and what’s described as a “lightning-fast web browser” running on Amazon’s EC2 cloud computing engine. Calling it Silk, Bezos explains that it splits the workload between the Kindle Fire and Amazon’s cloud, doing some backend hocus pocus to streamline what gets to your device. All other media and content on the Kindle Fire will also be backed up to the cloud, so you can delete things without a care. One final note of software import: the Fire supports Flash!

See video and more pictures of Amazon’s new tablet after the break. The Kindle Fire will ship in the US (and only in the US, there are no plans for an international launch yet) on November 15th for $199 and pre-orders are now being taken at the link below

java coffe the best coffe taste

Java Coffee Reviews

Indonesia There's More to the South Pacific Than 10,000 Beautiful Islands For a change of pace and to refresh my taste buds I usually change gourmet coffees every few weeks.
Indonesia is currently the fourth largest producer of coffee in the world. Coffee has a colorful history,and has played an important part in the growth of the country. Indonesia is blessed with an ideal geography for coffee growing.

The islands of Indonesia are all well suited micro-climates for the growth and production of coffee. The many active volcanoes regularly provide ash full of nutrients for the coffee trees. Java coffe Estate is sweet, aromatic and full bodied, not as bold as a Sumatra, not as sweet as a New Guinea, but very smooth. This is the base of the famous "Mocha Java" blend. It is a mild coffee that needs the boost of a mocha or yirgacheffe to bring it to life. If you like a gentle everyday kind of coffee this could be just that. Medium hard bean roast no darker than light French.

Oh, So That's Where the Term "Java" Comes From While Indonesia consists of over 10,000 Pacific Islands only about 6,000 of those are inhabited. Coffee is grown for export on the larger islands of Sumatra, Celebes, and Java. Coffee plantations were also established in East Java, Central Java,West Java and in parts of Sumatra and Sulawesi. Coffee at the time was also grown in East Indonesia- East Timor and Flores.

Both of these islands were originally under Portuguese control and the coffee was also C. arabica, but from different root stocks. The Dutch first brought Arabica coffee trees to these islands in the mid-17th century, known then as the Netherlands Indies. Cultivation proved so successful that "Java" was exported globally and hence "Java" became a synonym for all types of coffee.

Even though Indonesia is a large exporter of high quality coffee, it also exports a large majority of the lesser quality Robusta coffee beans used in the blending of commercial supermarket coffees. Currently, Java's production of the preferred Arabica coffee beans accounts for only 10% of total production. Java's government regulates the export of coffee and forbids Robusta beans to be sold as Java coffee – only premium Arabica beans can bear the Java name. Strictly regulated,the best Java beans are grown on a few government-regulated farms,plantations and estates. These "estate" grown Java coffees are unmatched for aromatic spiciness and rich, smooth, and full-bodied character.

What I need now is another cup of coffee!

Cultivars, blends, and tastes of coffe luwak

Cultivars, blends, and tastes Luwak Coffee Beans

Kopi luwak is a name for many specific cultivars and blends of arabica, robusta,liberica, excelsa or other beans eaten by civets,hence the taste can vary greatly.

Nonetheless, kopi luwak coffees have a shared aroma profile and flavour characteristics, along with their lack of bitterness. Kopi luwak tastes unlike heavy roasted coffees, since roasting levels range only from cinnamon color to medium, with little or no caramelization of sugars within the beans as happens with heavy roasting. Moreover, kopi luwaks which have very smooth profiles are most often given a lighter roast. Iced kopi luwak brews may bring out some flavors not found in other coffees.

Sumatra is the world's largest regional producer of kopi luwak, Sumatran civet coffee beans are mostly an early arabica variety cultivated in the Indonesian archipelago since the seventeenth century. The major Sumatran kopi luwak production area is in Lampung, Bengkulu and Aceh especially the Gayo region,Takengon.

history of luwak coffe

History A cup of Kopi Luwak Gayo,Takengon,Aceh, Indonesia

The origin of Kopi Luwak is closely connected with the history of Coffee production in Indonesia. In early 18th century The Dutch established the cash-crop plantations in their colony in Dutch East Indies islands of Java and Sumatra,including Arabica coffee introduced from Yemen. During the era of Cultuurstelsel (1830-1870), the Dutch prohibited the native farmers and plantation workers to pick coffee fruits for their own use. Yet the native farmers desired to have a taste of the famed coffee beverage.

Soon the natives learned that certain species of musang or luwak (Asian Palm Civet) consumed these coffee fruits, yet they left the coffee seeds undigested in their droppings. The natives collect these Luwak's dropping coffee seeds; clean,roast and grind it to make coffee beverage.

The fame of aromatic civet coffee spread from locals to Dutch plantation owners and soon become their favorites, yet because of its rarity and unusual process,the civet coffee was expensive even in colonial times.

Health Efect of Drinking Soda

What are the Health
Effects of Drinking Soda?
Soda is one of society’s favorite beverages. Each year, billions of
gallons of soda are sold in the United States alone. Though it is
popular with men, women, and children, many experts believe
drinking soda may have serious health consequences.
Some studies have suggested a link between drinking soda and
obesity. Soda is high in sugar and calories. Combined with its
practically nonexistent nutritional value, soda may cause drinkers
to pack on the pounds without receiving even the smallest
nutritional benefit. Surprisingly, drinking diet soda has been linked
to weight gain as well. However, some experts assert that
obesity may be caused not by drinking soda, but by the
combination of drinking soda and leading a sedentary lifestyle.
Drinking soda has been shown to contribute to tooth decay.
Spokesmen for the soda industry have conceded this point.
Interestingly, in recent years, levels of tooth decay in the United
States and similarly developed countries have decreased. This is
in spite of the fact that more people are drinking soda than ever
before. At the same time, levels of obesity have risen.
Obviously, the sugar consumption involved in drinking soda is
cited for causing tooth decay. However, the acid in soda has
been shown to erode tooth enamel, leading to dental cavities as
well. In fact, the acid in soda can begin damaging enamel just 20
minutes after drinking soda.
Caffeine dependence may also form as a result of drinking soda
that contains caffeine. Some health care advocates assert that
caffeine may interfere with brain development in children. So far,
however, this assertion has not been proven. Research suggests
that individuals can develop caffeine dependence as a result of
drinking soda and may experience withdrawal when caffeine
consumption decreases.
Another unfortunate health effect of drinking soda is the
weakening of bones. Some animal studies have shown that
phosphorus in soda leaches calcium from bones. Similar studies
on humans have suggested that drinking soda may lead to a
tendency toward broken bones.
Many individuals choose to drink diet soda in order to avoid the
sugar and calories in regular soda. Drinking diet soda, however,
is not a perfect solution. Diet soda drinkers are still vulnerable to
the acidic effects of soda. Furthermore, some artificial
sweeteners, commonly used in diet soda, may contribute to
serious health issues as well.

1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup cream soda

For the ganache:
1 11-oz. package butterscotch chips
1 cup heavy cream

For the buttercream frosting:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

For butterscotch filling: In a double boiler (heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water on the stove), combine butterscotch chips and heavy cream and stir until completely combined and smooth. Cool to room temperature. Fill a squeeze bottle with ganache and insert into the center of each cupcake, squeezing until filling begins to overflow.

For buttercream frosting: Cream butter in a large bowl until fluffy.Add in ganache,vanilla, butter flavoring, and salt and mix until well combined. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until reaching desired consistency. Add milk or cream by the Tablespoon as needed. Frost cupcakes and top with a drizzle of butterscotch ganache.

How to Make Starbuck Coffe Mocha's at Home

How to make Starbucks Cafe Mocha's at home

Ever wondered how to make that Starbucks Espresso at home,well here you go.

Things You'll Need:
*Espresso Machine
*Starbucks Mocha Powder
*Milk (any type will do)
*Flavorings (optional)

Instructions
1. Get an Espresso machine, now you can go all out and get a fancy machine that grinds the coffee for you and all that stuff or you can get the Mr. Coffee Espresso machine for around $30 bucks (depending on how much of a coffee connoisseur you are).
2. Get your hands on some Starbucks Mocha Powder. This is not always an easy trick but they do sell it during the Christmas holiday season (I usually buy out the store when it does become available). Or if you go to E-Bay you can find the actual bags of Starbucks Mocha Powder.
3. Get your Espresso coffee - this has many options; you can buy it already ground from the store (but many times this is not ground enough for good espresso), you can buy whole beans and either grind it at the store (most grocery stores have a grinder in the coffee department) or grind it at home (you can get grinders pretty cheap just make sure it grinds espresso fine). Another option is buying it from Starbucks and they will grind it for you.
4. Brew the coffee per your espresso machines directions.
5. Now here is a nice shortcut, instead of mixing the mocha powder with hot water first I just put my mocha directly into the cup (a "Grande" takes about 2 tablespoons but this will really depend on how much mocha taste you want). Then you can just pour the coffee directly into the cup and mix up the mocha powder.
6. Add your favorite type of Milk.
7. Add your favorite flavoring (optional).
Note: you can buy any of the flavorings from Starbucks (even though it does not list them anywhere they are glad to do it)or amazon.
8. Stir well and you are ready to go.
9. Now this will never replace the professional made coffee but for the price it cannot be beat.

Tips & Warnings
Just add ice to make this an "iced" drink You can buy the hot cups/cold cups, lids and straws from any bulk store like Costco if you do not want to deal with real coffee cups (just remember to recycle them). Driving with hot coffee can be dangerous so be very careful.

What is Mocha Coffe?

The word can remind us of the decadent taste of chocolate, mocha, coffee, and a nutty sweetness. However, mocha term is in fact caused much confusion. Moka is on two completely different products, one of a bean from the terraces of Yemen, the other popular espresso drink to find. Mocha coffee beans are one of the oldest known varieties of coffee in the world. Traditionally cultivated in Yemen, deeply flavorful beans get their name from the ancient Yemeni port city of Mocha. Mocha beans on the steep slopes, which flourished in the upper atmosphere and only seconds grown.

Mocha beans were sold under the first type's of coffee beans in Europe. In fact, some experts say that almost all coffee mocha as shown in the Western world. During the century, 16 and 17, such as beans a popular import in Italy, the Netherlands, and finally the rest of Europe, real coffee mocha, the reputation, the best to keep .. Today, coffee grows often classified by region, the specific name for the arabica grown in Yemen. A cup of coffee is the best way to get people to drink coffee. The beans have a slight tartness and sweetness, it is good to the taste. Shades of penetrating scent and taste of this chocolate coffee, the source of another type of coffee, a drink can run popular espresso.

Hawaian kona Coffe



Pure Kona coffee, especially when it comes directly from the farm, is everything the coffee lover ever hoped for, absolutely as good as its description suggests it will be. The flavor is rich because farm-processed coffee never has the chance to get stale--the cherries are skinned and the beans are dried and roasted immediately after picking for maximum freshness and mellow flavor.

They don't sit around over-fermenting while waiting to be processed (which then requires dark roasting to kill the "spoiled" taste). Though pure 100 % Kona is rare and difficult to find, this coffee is the real deal--a premier coffee which is among the costliest and most sought-after.

If you are just browsing for coffee, take a close look at the label. For some strange reason, coffee can be legally called "Kona" if it contains just ten percent Kona beans (with 90 % of the beans coming from unknown sources), and some new buyers are unaware of this. This brand of 100 % Kona will justify its price and confirm everything you ever wanted in taste. n Mary Whipple

Lavazza Coffe Reviews.

LavAzza coffee has been a tradition in European homes for over 100 years. Family owned and operated, the LavAzza roasting facility is located in the northwest Italian city of Turin and features state of the art technology combined with old-world experience. Espresso Zone is a master distributor and direct importer,featuring an extensive selection of LavAzza espresso coffee beans,pre-ground coffee and espresso pods; as well as Espresso Point and BLUE capsules and machines.

Espresso blend "has a true coffee taste, ... smooth and flavorsome unlike most burnt flavored coffees." I found it full-bodied and fat on the tongue, with the kind of pleasantly fermented fruit tones that suggest chocolate-covered cherries. A shimmer of sharp acidity is balanced by sweetness. The finish is clean, rich and chocolaty.

Slightly disappointing in small milk, where the coffee seems to simplify without softening, but in larger milk the fruit and chocolate tones bloom nicely. The preground, canned format. doubtless accounts for the subdued aroma.

Lavazza is one of the world's leading suppliers of espresso coffees. This all-arabica blend is presented canned and pre-ground for espresso brewing. The fine grind prevents obtaining a meaningful comparative Agtron roast color reading,but by American standards this is a very light roasted espresso blend that achieves its character by blending naturally sweet coffees rather than by roasting acidy coffees dark. Like all of Lavazza's coffees, this blend is roasted and packed in Italy.

Who Should Drink It: Complete absence of bitter tones and a shimmer of bright fruitiness makes this an unusual espresso for America, where somewhat darker-roasted, more bittersweet blends are the norm. If you take your espresso cuisine without sweetener or find American espresso blends overbearing in their bitterness, try this one.

Google Android Honeycomb First Impressions.

Google Android Honeycomb First Impressions

Honeycomb is the operating system that Google hopes will finally see it challenging Apple in terms of user interface. Although it was designed with Motorola ’s Xoom in mind – to such an extent that employees from both companies were co-located – Google’s David Burke describes the experience as “about as pure Google as you’re going to get”.

The device has no physical buttons on the front – all of them are virtual, so they’re always on the bottom left of the screen.Motorola says this means “you never get lost”. A barometer means the device has a sensor for height, so it’s a matter of time before an app is designed specifically for parachutists. With a dual-core Nvidia processor, the Xoom combines impressive speed with Google ’s new interface.

Motorola said it will add some features of its own, but the bulk of the innovation appears to be from Google ’s end here. When the product launches later this year, it will be down to Motorola to distinguish Xoom from the scores of other tablets that will emerge running Honeycomb.

Tabbed browsing and bookmark syncing with Chrome, access to Google books, a 3D video wall to show off YouTube clips, a two-pane Gmail interface are all welcome additions, but also requirements to compete with the gloss of the iPad. Where the interface impresses particularly – a slick solution to task switching brings up a neat list of running applications, for instance – it is in greasing wheels that already exist rather than introducing radical new possibilities.

With that in mind, price will be key.According to Motorola, atb“ the price level we’re launching it at, it will be successful”.
That is likely to be the case – but the company makes another interesting point. Their popular Defy handset started out with a problem: users drop phones and they bbreak, so Motorla made a more rugged phone.
“We started with the consumer not with the technology,” said Motorola. With that in mind, Google must make sure that they – and not Apple – begin to identify the points at which technology causes a problem for consumers and come up with decent solutions. So let ’s start drawing up a list…
