Re: beginners problems
Bring on the day when a superauto can make a great coffee! Its only a matter of time.
George Sebados wrote an article on CG about a year ago which argued the pros of a superauto in a cafe environment. What struck me was his assertion that certain super-auto machines can make espresso as good as he could make on any standard commercial machine, but with a consistency far superior to a barista behind a machine. It seems that most Italian companies are now focussing heavily on developing the super-auto, rather than traditional machines. This may mean that the standard automatic and semiautomatic may go the way of polaroid film. For those who love the art of making coffee, this may not be a great thing, but to those wanting decent coffee from a commercial venture, this seems like a good way to go.
