For Caffettiera makes them probably the best coffee (espresso) I have ever tasted. As always, it comes naturally even when the Brikka it to prepare the espresso properly, and to use a good and freshly ground coffee as possible. At first I was a bit disappointed because the coffee came out quite cold in the first experiments and tasted extremely sour. One should strictly follow the instructions here and make the stove only on half heat or below, otherwise will not warm the upper part of Caffettiera and gets you really only cold coffee. Positive experiences regarding the coffee powder I finally with the espresso Segafredo Intermezzo varieties purchased in Italy, made. Best buy whole beans and grind fresh for every single Espresso. You can tell the difference clear when you filled the Caffetiera with ground coffee powder from the day before! For two espressos should fill the right amount of water to the mounted in the lower part of Caffettiera mark. The Espresso amount must then be full to the brim, but should, in contrast to machine espresso not flattening the powder. For a single espresso, the water should be filled to the half of the mark and the winners will be made for the powder about 3/4 full with espresso.
As a finishing touch you can get a nice crema, while not quite as fine as in "real" machine espresso looks, but a lot nicer and more stable than the foam of many a cheap pad machine in Brikka. The Peso-static valve which produces this Crema, essentially consists of a weight body, which is located on the nozzle-like opening for the espresso. If the correct pressure is reached, this body is raised and the Caffè flows out at once foaming. The sound here is somewhat reminiscent of a milk-frother. One should also immediately after the Caffè pour in espresso cups and enjoy!
Conclusion: If you're a little experimentation-off, the proper (freshly ground) used espresso and not equivalent to the same expectations as at a restaurant espresso machine, then you will be in my opinion one of the best espressos Caffetiera-it are rewarded.
