Using exactly the same beans and same brand of milk both at home and at work, I get different tastes from them. As stated many times before, I use a Gaggia Carezza at work with a Delonghi KG100 grinder and a silvia and Rocky at home. My drink of choice is a latte with a little sugar (trying to wean off the sugar).
On the Carezza, the lattes I get are very often quite chocolatey and Ive grown to like that taste (Ive had the Gaggia longer than the silvia). In fact, I think the chocolate flavours are the dominant flavours.
In contrast, with the silvia, I dont get chocolate flavours all that much. I get varying flavours depending on bean type but cant recall them tasting like the ones I get on the gaggia.
However, at work, it doesnt seem to matter which bean I use, whether its Guatemalan SHB, or PNG Sigri or Timor Leste, I seem to get pretty much the same chocolatey flavours (which I quite like). With the silvia, it differs widely depending on bean. I think I did come close to the tastes i got on the Gaggia when i put through the Indian monsooned Malabar in the silvia. Apart from that, they vary quite a bit...
Any opinions as to why its so?
