Yesterday Illy coffee' s supplier came over to do coffee tasting!! Hurray!! Free coffee session!!

The technician & Sales person are busy explaining the product to us and preparing the coffee for us. I just flipping their info booklet and mingled around. Of coz i did observe at their coffee preparation. For a good cuppa cappucino we need to use Farm House milk which is so creamy and fine milk bubble in order to get a result of 'dancing bubble form', unfornately we only got UHT milk, somehow still manage to made a cappucino. UHT milk is not 100% solid milk, too diluted. We need a 100% full cream milk to made a good cafe latte and cappucino.

Mind you, illy is an Italy premium coffee and of coz with its fine quality coffee bean, never forget that this brand is pricey!! Illy was founded in Trieste, Italy in 1933. illy is available in more than 50,000 of the best restaurants and coffee bars and is sold in over 130 countries around the world, serving over 6 million cups of illy espresso coffee a day. Normally we can find Illy coffee at those finest restaurant and 5 star hotels.

A single perfect blend of coffee, handpicked from nine different growing regions around the world, and available as:
The illy blend comes in two roasts: medium, with a rich, smooth, balanced flavor and dark, which is more robust and intense.
• medium or dark roasts
• regular or decaffeinated
Decaffeinated illy is also available for those who prefer their coffee without caffeine.
• whole bean, fine grind and medium grind, as well as E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pods, an innovation that illy brought to the market, allowing consumers more control in consistently making the best espresso possible, as well as ground coffee preparation use.

Although illy's single blend was developed to produce the world’s finest espresso, it yields the same extraordinary and consistent taste when made with an auto drip coffeemaker, moka pot, flip pot or French press. Whatever the preparation method, illy’s rich, smooth, balanced flavor is guaranteed to reward the senses and delight the spirit. Coffee Lover should give a try this world-class of coffee. If you like Illy coffee, you definately will like Blue Mountain coffee

Types of Machines:-

manual or piston: This old-world style machine requires the operator to manually pull down a lever to generate the 8-10 atm. of pressure needed for espresso extraction. Piston machines are particularly sensitive to technique and require a great deal of patience and finesse to operate correctly. While beautiful to look at, they are best left to the hobbyist and, for practical reasons, are not recommended for the majority of espresso connoisseurs.

semi-automatic: A semi-automatic machine has an on/off switch that controls the pump. The user flips the switch to start the extraction and flips it again after 23-25 seconds to stop it. Semi-automatics are the most prevalent type of home machine.

fully automatic: A fully automatic machine operates like the semi-automatic, except that it offers the added convenience of delivering a perfect shot of espresso with the touch of a button. There is no need to manually stop the brewing process.

super automatic: Super-automatics offer the next step up in convenience. These machines are fully automatics combined with a built-in grinder. At the touch of a single button, the machine grinds an exact quantity of beans, doses and tamps the coffee bed and delivers a perfectly measured shot of espresso. They provide the greatest degree of speed, convenience and consistency and are also the most expensive of home machine options.
