C'gal - a good straight espresso, which is not a terribly common thing out there on the street, is a lovely slug or sip, with or without sugar. Your favorite homeroast oozed through a $30 AeroPress is an approximation of a good shot and, probably, better than what you'll get at 9-out-of-10 coffeeshops.

and that be the truth!

So the shot this makes is an expresso??? We use the machine to make mochas...you guys just drink the shot straight? Pretty intense.

Thanks Moo, but I am not sure we like our coffee that strong. i have to think about it and maybe try my krups first.
