Got hooked on this coffee bean a few years ago. Thought I'd share it. Other than some very expensive cuban coffee that I was given, this is the best I'd had. It makes an amazing espresso with perfect crema with ease. Mix in a shot of Ryans Irish Cream and you're in for a real treat.

Sounds like a good one to try. Generally just a brew person but been wanting to pop my toe in the espresso arena.

MikeA:
If you do you may never truly enjoy a cup of brown water again. :P It's simple really, a good burr grinder and a Gagia Classic Espresso Machine. They'll last you for many many years.

Have a burr grinder. Wouldn't grind coffee any other way. Now just to talk the wife into the Gagia.  ;D

I love espresso!  I've never had a proper espresso machine per se but have owned several of the "Moka Pot" style stovetop espresso makers.  Steve, if you want to get into this without buying one of the high-end machines, this is a good way to go.  My favorite manual maker is the Aeropress, but it's a little more involved.  They sell these at World Market locally and BB&B too I think.  Oddly enough, it's made by the same company that made the Aerobee frisbee popular in the 80's.  But yeah, if you can get approval from Mama, the Gagia is very nice.
