Instructional video produced in 1998 to accompany Starbucks' branded home espresso maker. It features the "revolutionary new" Rapporto filter, occasionally referred to here as the "porta-filter." Part One covers the basics of how to create espresso drinks with your new machine. The basic steps are: prime the machine, steam the milk, prime the machine again, and brew the coffee - either using ground espresso or Starbucks espresso pods. So simple, it takes 10 minutes to explain!
I have had one of these machines for years, and have definitely put it through its paces. However, now the double shot button doesn't work...well, it WORKS, but it doesnt stop - I have to press the button again in order to stop it. Works for a long-press, but for now im pressing the single shot button twice to get it to give me the shots I want. Otherwise, a fantastic machine.
it's called the portafilter because that's what it's called on every espresso machine. the marketing fascination consumer marketed espresso machines have with is ludicrous. it's still happening!
Thanks for posting this! I have a Barista machine that I bought a few years ago. Mine's a bit more recent than this video (mine's a Saeco), but it's still the same concepts.

ReplyDeleteThis is really helpful. I have the exact set up displayed in this video. I didn't know some of these facts, until I watched this.
