Primo, parlo un po' d'italiano ma sto imparando.
La mia famiglia abita a vicino Napoli per NATO, e puó comprare le macchine per il caffè. Preferisco caffè italiano invece d'americano. Vedo due macchine, una la pavoni Europiccola (leva espresso) e il frog macchina (automatico). Vorrei chiedere r/italy cuale macchina è meglia. Anche, ci sono altre macchine suggerite?
Costa non è una problema (se compro la pavoni costa quasi 400 euro) e il frog costa quasi 140 euro.
Grazie per tutte risposte
Edit: All of your answers are great, thanks for the input
Dopo aver letto questo post e i relativi commenti, ho fortemente sentito la necessità di conoscere l'opinione di r/italy/ riguardo il caffè filtro (quello fatto con la macchinetta con la caraffa e bevuto negli USA, per intenderci), spesso chiamato erroneamente caffè americano, che in realtà è un altro tipo di caffè. Io ne sono un grande estimatore, e quando ne ho l'occasione ne vanto ai tanti scettici tutte qualità (da me personalmente riscontrate) rispetto all'espresso (che tollero con molte difficoltà). Che dite, ho iniziato col piede sbagliato la mia avventura da ex lurker su reddit mettendo in discussione uno degli italici pilastri (insieme alla mamma e al gioco del pallone)?
I just discovered the Caffè Americano at Starbucks and it is delicious. It's just diluted espresso, but it's so great. I don't alter it in any way, just drink it straight. With coffee I usually add some half & half to soften it up but the americano has such a great flavor that I don't want to mess with it.
What I'm wondering is: how much difference is there between coffee beans and espresso beans? At home I brew regular coffee with Lavazza Super Crema espresso roast and it's very good. But I wonder if running the same beans through the espresso process will make it better. Beans vs. processing?
Being lactose intolerant, I've developed an appreciation for the simple Americano.
An espresso machine is far outside of my price range, but I've been looking at a Moka Pot for at home use. I know it isn't true espresso, but has anyone experimented with using it for a poor man's Americano?

Confesso di aver provato la pizza con l'ananas e il prosciutto >!ed era buona!<
I go to Hy-Vee for our bi-weekly grocery shopping and ours has a Starbucks inside. When we go, there aren't many folks in the store, no lines at the Starbucks, and I like to ask for either a double shot of espresso (blond or original, depending on what they have available - I'm not picky) or a Caffè Americano. But a few of the baristas sometimes hesitate and give me an uncertain look before continuing on with the purchase.
I have social anxiety, so instead of asking them if I did something wrong, I just assume I must be asking for something absurd? I'm thinking of just asking next time I go in, but I figured I'd ask here if this is something annoying to make? I make espresso at home and know it takes a bit to grind, tamp, and pull the shots so supposed I do understand the annoyance.
Aahh.
I have just got back from a holiday in France. Twice I ordered an americano and twice I received a negroni (which is quite the switch to receive at like 10 in the morning.)
These were from different places and at least one of them looked like it should have known better. Do the French do things differently or was I just unlucky?
Lo scorso anno, in un post qui su reddit, un ritaliano ci chiese quali fossero le nostre stranezze, e io dichiarai la mia e cioè che da 12 anni guardo i film in ordine cronologico per anno, partendo dagli albori del cinema muto. La curiosità di alcuni mi spinse a iniziare una mia rubrica nella quale commento i film che ho preferito man mano che avanzo nel mio lento percorso verso i giorni nostri. La rubrica è piaciuta tant’è vero che mi ha garantito il premio come miglior contenuto originale di questo sub per il 2020: incredibile!
I miei post si possono trovare facilmente nel mio profilo dato che non pubblico altro, ma i più vecchi, relativi al cinema muto, sono spariti perché li ho scritti con un vecchio account, tuttavia c’è un link nei commenti al post più vecchio che permette di recuperarli.
1972
Questo è l’anno del videogioco Pong, di Calimero, della Linea resa famosa da Carosello, delle Olimpiadi di Monaco, e delle “Avventure di Pinocchio” di Comencini, delle quali ho ricordi ancestrali e la sigla mi fa ancora oggi venire i brividi di freddo e di paura: il burattino che si muove appena creato è horror puro. Raramente ho visto un paesaggio più povero e squallido come quello del vicolo della casa di Geppetto. Sono un fan di Manfredi, e rivedere questo sceneggiato a distanza di anni mi ha fatto piacere perché ho apprezzato le numerosissime guest-star. È molto d’atmosfera anche lo sceneggiato “A come Andromeda”, mentre in tv l’invasione dei Robot giapponesi è già iniziata e questo è l’anno di “Mazinga Z”. Tra gli altri telefilm di quest’anno ci sono “Le strade di San Francisco”, “Sanford and Son”, “MASH” e la soap “General Hospital”.
Di quest’anno ho visto circa 300 film. Ecco alcuni di quelli che più mi hanno colpito.
SPOILER OVUNQUE
“La cabina” è un film tv del regista Antonio Mercero realizzato in Spagna. Un uomo entra in una cabina telefonica e ne resta intrappolato e non può più uscire da lì. Qualcuno cerca di aiutarlo, la gente si accalca per vedere e prenderlo in giro. I bambini gli fanno versi sciocchi, altri assistono come se fossero a uno spettacolo. I poliziotti agiscono stupidamente senza aiutarlo granché, e a un certo punto arriva un camion e prende l’uomo che è rimasto in trappola e lo trasportano altrove e cioè in una specie di cimitero in cui muoiono tutti gli uomini così intrappo
... keep reading on reddit ➡The mere thought of it haunts my dreams. And we all know the number one culprit: iced americanos. I've seen it, you've seen it, we've all seen it at every fansign, backstage waiting room clip, music video behind the scenes, etc.: that ominous cup of dark liquid just sitting there, waiting to be enthusiastically sipped by your favorite idol.
Iced americanos aren't even tasty-- at a certain point I just have to think that so many idols drink them to follow the trend. But at what cost?? AT WHAT COST?!? Take a minute to think about the pungent haze of coffee breath that must exist in the company vans as idols travel from schedule to schedule. The horror! Just look at this poor, defenseless paper doll being victimized by the evils of coffee breath (I'll bet that Starbucks cup had a hot caffè americano in it, too)!
I honestly have thought about this so many times in the past decade that I've been into kpop. At this point, I should just start a fundraiser to buy travel mouthwash for all these poor idols. Coffee breath is a menace that must be eradicated! >:-(
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Hi all,
Excited to join the group. Always been a coffee lover, did french press for years and then a spell with a Breville Roma and then inherited a used Saeco Syntia Automatic which I've been using for the past 4 years.
Recently it's been acting up and my efforts to fix it have only made it worse and so I've been pondering making the change to a semi-automatic machine.
I have a number of friends with Rockets and they're awesome but unfortunately my circumstances (and my wife) do not allow me to invest $2500+taxes into just a machine, especially considering I'm in the market for a grinder as well.
I'm located in Montreal, Canada and there is a well known store that services and sells all sorts of equipment espresso related. They sell Rancilios, Gaggias, La Pavonis, Rockets and more.
I've been looking at the La Pavoni Gran Caffè GCM for $650+tax. The price is manageable (I know, that's not much) and La Pavoni seems to be a reputable brand. I cannot find much in the way of reviews however.
A friend who owns a Rocket also recommended the Breville 870XL as being an overperformer for its price (about $650 as well) and to boot it includes a grinder...now I know it can't be a great grinder but it would be more appealing to my wife if I could get both devices for that price and have them in a single package that takes up less counter space. We live in an apartment so her feelings are warranted.
I've also looked locally at the used market and seen some Rancilio Silvias for sale for around $500-600...I've always heard good things about the brand and I'm not against buying used. The price for a new Silvia is about $1000+tax and that's getting a bit rich for us.
Could anyone give me some solid ideas about any of these three options? I would appreciate first hand experience, not even as an owner but just as someone who's used one or had espresso made for them with one. My wife likes allongés and lattes, I tend towards americanos myself. We currently buy Lavazza Crema E Aroma whole beans for use with our Syntia, they're a medium roast that is probably on the darker side of medium, not oily so my Saeco liked them and the coffee was consistent. Open to expanding my horizons but that bean was a winner for me the past couple of years.
Thanks in advance!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
