Today, after school, I come home to find no ground coffee, and no beans, for my press.. So I decided to see what would happen if I put instant coffee in my mothers Breville Cafe Roma, a machine I avoid at all costs (except for a half decent, kinda microfoam milk).
If you are unfamiliar with the Cafe Roma, it comes with Pressurized Baskets, and a Pressurized Portafilter. It is advertised with the "feature" "Crema Enhancer".. It already sounds bad.. But I now have proof of how bad it really is..
I put about 3 table spoons of Nescafe Blend 43 into the basket, lock the portafilter in, and twist the dial to "Espresso". Low and behold.. Crema!!!
It didnt look half bad, but I brewed into a mug, so I couldnt see how it developed. Needless to say, it was a pretty poor excuse for coffee, but it could be used to trick a visitor into thinking you make great cappacinos.. Not that I recommend that.. Just sayin ;D
