Pulling a triple from Rancilio Silvia v3
Using a bottomless PF to pull shot from a triple basket. I think there is some tiger strip flow and the taste is really not bad. Any comments are welcome.

Milk Froth with Rancilio Silvia v3 single hole
This is a newer video showing how I froth milk with Silvia v3 but use single hole steam tip. Look how easy to get the milk rolling in the pitcher. The result is good. I guess it is time to fine tune my latte art technique.

Whole latte Love Gaggia Brera Priming Problems out of box!
PLEASE READ whole-latte-love.pissedconsumer.com get a reply on this link www.bizrate.com Before I get carried away this video was obtained via online between May 11, 2011 and July 2011 from a pissed consumer trying to explain to whole latte love why her Gaggia Brera had to be sent back for a repair since it wasn’t priming correctly. After this video was viewed key individuals at WLL they convinced this pissed consumer to take the video offline. Well, not in enough time for me to save a copy for my records. Shout out to the techs, the pretty machine cleaners, and the shipping crew. WLL are nothing without you. Stand your ground. Hi Mike Norton-techshop manager @ WLL(maybe) you shouldn’t “let people go” who had no Re-repairs or for things that have nothing to do with the job you hired them for especially people including MYSELF who have heaping mounds of dirt on you. Next time your cheap ass, no Christmas bonus giving, Porsche driving owner Gary Salzman or the Salzman Group wants to relocate there warehouse they should get a professional crew instead of MAKING the TECH-shop crew strip floors, water-blast ceilings on scissor ladders, running ethernet cables, paint over unstripped dirty greasy walls, tear down dead rat infested shitty installation WITH NO PROTECTION or MASKS ! Gary, I told you straight to you face I didn’t feel comfortable doing this stuff and you waited till it was done and let me go by telling Mike Norton and Tracy Schafer I no longer “fit” for your company …

Gaggia dual boiler PID modded and digital timer added (kitchen aid proline) best coffee ever!
This is my machine that I modified. I have hobbies in electronics, and I have applied it to my other hobby which is coffee. I am a high school student who has applied for electrical engineering at several universities. I added 2 PID controllers which regulate the two individual boilers in the machine. One for the brew boiler and one for the steam boiler. The controllers initiate the solid state relays which completes the AC circuit to the heaters attached to the boilers. I can set the temperature of the boilers to whatever I want. The temperature is regulated constantly at my desired set point; this allows me to replicate good espresso shots every time. Also the digital timer allows me to pull espresso shots automatically so I do not have to manually turn off the pump. The cost of the total project was 0 which is an extremely good price for a dual boiler espresso machine. (I bought a used kitchen aid pro line dual boiler espresso machine(parts made by gaggia). The cheapest dual boilers cost 00 on average. Never use preground for coffee. I actually own 2 retired commercial grinders. One is a astoria super Jolly (as seen in the video) The other is a Rossi RR45 (not in the video; its in my school’s shop, designing another 3d print chute). A good grinder is essential for high quality coffee as it ensures all coffee particles will extract at the same rate. The cheapest grinder for espresso will require you to spend a minimum of 0. FYI my grinders average around 00 …

Rancilio Silvia Latte Art Diaries: Day 9
These are just a few of my recent efforts at latte art. I apologize in advance for some of the bad camera angles. I’ll do my best to rectify this in future installments. I’m just experimenting with different milk textures, as you can see. Some are thin, while others come on pretty thick. Nothing to write home about. Funny story… my camera actually ran out of juice, seconds before one of the pours. It ended up being my best rosetta to date. Absolutely perfect. I’m a pretty tough critic when it comes to latte art, and I judge myself to strict standards, but I would be proud to present that rosetta to a competition judge. Unfortunately, it was not caught on tape. However, I did take a few snapshots of it, for whatever it’s worth… kind of a sad story, come to think of it. Hopefully, I’ll be able to replicate that pour in future videos, if not surpass it.

Using Espro Toroid pitcher with Rancilio Silvia v3
Just received my Toroid milk pitcher from Espro and make some microfoam. Now frothing milk is no longer a pain. Look at that creamy foam! BTW, the steam tip of my Silvia has been replaced with a single hole tip. I will still try to fine-tune my milk frothing skill with normal pitcher though.
