Espresso for newbies

pasquini-livia-90A.jpgI found a good article on MSNBC geared towards espresso newbies. It talks about different machine options, as well as going into a bit of the technical side of espresso. The article mentions a particular machine, the Illy Pasquini Livia 90 (pictured), that lets you adjust the water temperature! Cool (though the price is not so cool, but rather typical of good espresso makers at $1500). After all that, if you’re looking for even more espresso tips, be sure to check out the Espresso FAQ on this website.
