I\u2019ve been a friend of espresso for years. The frapp\u00e9 coffee of my student days gave way to \u201cFrench\u201d filter coffee, and from there espresso was a one-way street. For many years I believed that my coffee maker, an inexpensive home espresso machine, gave me very satisfying coffee. Until I had some from my brother\u2019s much, much more sophisticated coffee maker. His Rancilio Silvia machine showed me that I was a long way from what I considered a good espresso.<\/span><\/p>\n

A quick detour: You\u2019ll be right to think, but hadn\u2019t you ever had any good espresso at a coffee place? This is where I should say that since delving into good coffee, I realised that stores which serve espresso in its proper form are still very few. There are clearly many more now than before but I still must admit that Kiki and I have a very small list of places that serve excellent coffee. We\u2019ll talk about these places later on.<\/span><\/p>\n
