  • Espresso coffee is one of Italy's most loved exports, but Australians have a completely different take on the world's favourite drink. So, in the interests of stoking international conflict, today we’re asking…which is better - the original Italian espresso or modern Australian espresso?

    This video touches on what took me ages to discover, yet no one has talked about on RUclips yet. When dialing in your shot, you should aim for different things depending on whether you are combining your espresso with milk.
    If I have a flat white I will pull my shot shorter than if I was having just an espresso. The milk balances out a slightly acidic shot. A balanced shot combined with milk can taste over extracted. Is this taught in Barista training?

    I love my straight espresso to be full of acidity and/or funky notes all the way. Probably put a few people off, but there's something special about a natural process where you end up with a shot of banana, or a Yirgacheffe where the acidity is off the scale :) For now, I'm all over your Wilde blend.

    • @Fear_the_Nog

      I'm opposite. For straight espresso it's smooth chocolate nuts and dark fruits, at most a wine kind of acidity for me. The super zesty high acidity light roasts aren't my thing at all.

    Interesting video, when I was in my 20s I was a barrister in Sydney as a student for about 5 years where at one point ran a espresso bar. I'm now 39 and have lived in London for almost 8 years and after so many trips to Italy including the epicentre of the best coffee down south in Napoli I very much prefer the Italian style roast for espresso. All the cafés here in London only have beans for milk coffees and use large baskets so I bought myself a 2006 Gaggia classic and modded it with he PID to control the temp for a dark roast, a top quality grinder to grind espresso, Eureka Specialita and i source a Italian blend. I do use 14g basket to pull a 28ml shot, so 1:2 ratio and sometimes 15g to pull 30ml to sweeten it up a little, so not fully traditional as singe baskets are a pain to use but I~ get more caffeine this way.
    Now just looking for a the right spring lever machine with a single head to get that more traditional style flow profile, it just they cost a fortune and there are not many to choose from.

    • @JohnDoe-pw5cs
      @JohnDoe-pw5cs 9 месяцев назад

      If you already own the Gaggia classic you should look into the Gaggiuino mod. It can fully flow profile what a traditional lever machine would achieve and so much more.
      After doing my mod I will never buy another coffee machine. This is end game territory

    There’s something to admire about Italian coffee culture - it’s quick, readily available and hits the spot. Problem is quality isn’t there. Dark roasts masked by sugar are fine but provide none of the fruity, acidic flavours of third wave coffee.

    • @Fear_the_Nog
      @Fear_the_Nog 11 месяцев назад +3

      well, it's not just dark roasts masked by sugar. It's just a different flavor profile, which is more chocolate and nutty and winey. It's still delicious. I don't like fruity stuff, because I don't like fruits to begin with, so it's the classic taste for me.

    • @Fear_the_Nog
      @Fear_the_Nog 2 дня назад

      @@atticustay1 I reject that notion. The notion that "specialty grade" is actually a thing. There is really no such thing. What do coffee roasteries mean by specialty grade? Is it ethnical sourcing? Is it hand-picked varietals? Is it free trade and organic? IS it just roasting lighter? Or is it the "Care" and "selection" of "seasonal" varietals from "eco-friendly" farms? or is it extra "careful" in blending? OR all of the above? What does that term mean? And are all of these aforementioned practices even worthwhile and how? and especially, do they ACTUALLY produce a coffee that TASTES good in the cup? In my experience, the answer is very much often: not necessarily. What even is "quality?" Just the phrase "100% Arabica?" No, I've had mass produced Italian products like offerings by Essse Caffe (their Masini blend) or by Caffe Vergnano, for example, that tasted more nuanced, more refined, more delicious in espresso than some offerings by Third Wave roasters, for example. "Specialty grade" is nothing more than branding. I do not consider any of their selling points to universally define what "quality" is.

    Most of the Australian baristas make terrible espressos, even at specialty cafes. There are very few who make anything drinkable compared to what I and other home espresso aficionados make at home. I am also yet to see an Australian barista make use of their flow controls which is a terrible waste.

      agreed for the vast majority of cafes but there are some that do quality Italian style espresso you just need to know where. I'ma Sydney sider living in London which is a lot closer to Italy, the cafes are full of coffee geeks that brag about the complex fruity nuances in their V60 shite, no good espresso here. You need to go to great lengths with your own setup at home to get anything close.
