Re: Learning to make better coffee with a Cafe Rom
Beat me JavaB.
Franco,
Answering you in my own words, the pressurised baskets produce fake crema.
The baskets are designed to produce a coffee that looks like the real thing.
To me its like any other dodgy practice used to make bad food look good.
You wouldnt stand for the meat you buy being tarted up to look fresh so why would you accept stale coffee tricked up to look fresh?
In the case of meat, many of the old tricks are now illegal.
It may not be illegal to use pressurised baskets to fool the public but to me its just as wrong.
