Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Der Name Costadoro Caffe bürgt für höchste Qualität! Vollmundig, leicht würzig, elegant bei ausgezeichenter Crema. Dieser Kaffee ist die traditionsreichste Mischung der Torrefazione Costadoro aus der Olympiastadt Turin. Weil dieser Blend aus 90% besten Arabica und 10% Robusta Kaffeebohnen lange Jahre die einzige bzw. Hauptsorte war, nannte man ihn ganz unspektakulär nach dem Namen des Hauses selbst einfach Caffé Costadoro. Die Seele des Hauses ist Giorgio Langella, immer mit dem Bestreben nach optimaler Qualität und Röster mit Herz und gelebter Leidenschaft. Voller Emotionen erklärt er, beim Einkauf der Rohkaffe keine Zugeständnisse oder Kompromisse einzugehen. Manchmal auch mit zuviel Konsequenz, wenn wieder mal keine Ware verfügbar ist. So verwendet die Torrefazione Costadoro für den Caffé costaodro 90:10 eine Mischung der besten Bohnenvarietäten von Hochlandkaffee aus Mittel- und Südamerika. Um die optimalen Eigenschaft jeder einzelnen Bohnenvarietät zu einem perfektem Kaffee zu vereinen, wird jede Sorte seperat und in kleinen Chargen bei gleichmäßiger Temperatur langsam bei optimalen Röstgrad in der Drehrommel geröstet. So trägt jede Sorte zur Otpimierung bei, eine Sorte z.B. für die Fülle, die Aromastoffe, den perfekten Säurewert, die Fruchtnoten, dem Körper, Volumen oder der anhaltenden Würze und Länge. Erst nach dem Röstung und der Abkühlung werden die Sorten zu einer perfekten Mischung, auch Blend genannt, zusammengefügt. Der Aufwand ist zwar deutlich höher, im Ergebniß jedoch hat man den optimalen Kaffeegenuß. Eine wahrhaft außerordentliche Röstung, die Caffé Costadoro mit diesem excellentem Kaffee produziert. Der Anteil von 10% Robusta Kaffeebohnen verleiht ihm zudem einen angenehm würzigen Geschmack sowie die wunderbar dichte Crema. Der Inhalt ist mit dem normalen Caffé Costadoro 500g absolut identisch, lediglich die Geschenkverpackung erhöht den Preis geringfügig um 1,00 Euro. Ein schönes Geschenk, Mitbringsel oder für einen Geschenkkorb. Preis per 1000g 19,80 Euro. Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum (MHD) ab Röstung: 24 Monate (30.03.2008) Anteil der verwendeten Kaffeesorten: 90 % Arabica + 10 % Robusta Kaffeebohnen Bewertung: mittelkräftiger Kaffee sehr schöne Cremabildung mittlerer Koffeingehalt Geeignet für: sehr gut für Kaffee Vollautomaten perfekt für Espresso perfekt für Cappuccino oder Latte Macchiato sehr gut als Frühstücks- und Schümli- Kaffee Preise: 1 x 500 g 9,90 Euro pro 500 g Bohnen 10 x 500 g 8,90 Euro pro 500 g Bohnen Sonderpreis Sie sparen 10,00 Euro + 2,90 Euro Versandkosten

Size Name:6 Cup
This is a very well made traditional espresso maker. It's solid, fits well together, and the handle is comfortable. The thick base to the water reservoir part means it doesn't heat up *too* fast over a gas flame, though if you are using gas, make sure you don't let the flames lick up the side of the machine.
Now, for the quality of the espresso it makes. I must admit I was disappointed with this at first - I had been used to a high pressure espresso machine which made thick creamy espresso. At first when using this maker I followed the instructions exactly - not 'tamping down' the coffee and not grinding it too fine. This made a fairly weak espresso. In fact the 6 cup amount made me two good longish coffees, still an improvement in taste over my cafetiere coffee.
To achieve a better espresso I got advice from my Italian and Greek friends. They grew up with these machines, and told me to grind the coffee slightly finer than instructed, and to tamp it down gently (not too hard or you block the holes.) This made me the rich espresso I wanted.
Lastly, about these coffee makers, take them off the heat a little before all the water in the bottom evaporates (also a knack to learn when this is!) You avoid the bitter-end-coffee, and you make sure you're not going to leave the machine to dry out over the heat and possibly get damaged.
You may be interested in quantity - everyone's idea of 'cup' is different. I imagine the 'cup' here is a very short espresso as I usually get about 4 espresso measures out, i.e. 2 double espresso. If I'm using it to make longer coffee, it make me two mugs. It'd be a perfect size if there were two coffee drinkers in your house. For one (like me) it leaves spare for the next day. (I don't reheat the coffee, just add it cold to very hot milk/water, this works well for me.) If you don't want that, or wastage, and are sure you won't want to make coffee for more than 1 person ever, try the 3 cup model.
In all I'm very glad I bought it, and would recommend it to anyone, it just takes a little experimenting to get your coffee how you like it. But even if you're used to espresso from an expensive machine, you should be able to adjust this to get something to satisfy you. In particular, this is an excellent brand, the maker is very well made.

Size Name:6 Cup
I bought my Bialetti Moka Express along with the bodum milk frother. I couldn't believe how good the espresso tasted, coming from such an inexpensive device. I've been used to a drip/filter machine with a milk frother but the 'cappuccinos' it makes don't even compare to those made with the Bialetti. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone- it takes 3/4 minutes and a small amount of skill to make the perfect espresso!
I use Lavazza coffee beans and grind them finely. When coffee starts to 'sputter', remove from heat source. Then heat your milk to nearly boiling and froth to double in size. Pour your desired amount of espresso into cup (I fill to 1/3 of a standard coffee cup) then spoon in your frothed milk and enjoy!!

Size Name:6 Cup
An excellent purchase and I would agree with all those who have already posted laudatory remarks.
Can I just add 4 observations
To those who want to know how many cups it provides - We get 295 ml of strong brown liquid from the 6 cup machine ( c. half a pint ).
It takes about 4-5 mins to make the coffee - from absolute start with cold water to drinking coffee. Just enough time to microwave and then foam up the milk using the bodum 1446 device.( we exclusively drink lattes )
Mild-to-firm tamping down is mandatory and crucial to taste - despite the instructions. We use the bottom of a glass tumbler
As regards using finely ground coffee - we don't have a grinder ; we buy Tescos Finest Columbian Supremo ground coffee and its fine.
