dfk41 DavecUK The nice thing about having a bad memory is you can see things you think you have not seen before (but know you have) and enjoy them anew
MackOT coffeealex I just saw the video and realize that the barista is Antonio Nurri. He is founder Nurri company. The one that just release Nurri Leva SA. I wonder that his machine requires to tamp like the way he does it. 🤣
MediumRoastSteam MackOT just saw the video and realize that the barista is Antonio Nurri. If you are referring to the video posted by Cuprajake , you are getting very confused. At the beginning he says his name, “Salvatore” (from Salvatore Espresso Machines). edit: CoyoteOldMan pointed me to the right post by coffeealex It’s indeed Nurri.
CoyoteOldMan MediumRoastSteam I think it was this video, using a similar old school tamping technique:
MediumRoastSteam CoyoteOldMan - you are right! Obviously didn’t t scroll back far enough. I’ll edit my post to that effect. Thanks for pointing out.
MackOT MediumRoastSteam I am sure that there are hundred of ways to make espresso. Italian is the master at their way of making espresso. They have been doing this longer than anyone. I have never seen Italian barista use the scale, RDT or WDT either and they serve million of espresso yearly. If ACS as a company does not have longer track record, I would be order Nurri Leva SA. That is another sweet looking lever machine.
Cuprajake Imo the ACS is better than the nurri But that’s personal preference. I don’t like the ears or the fact you have to back flush it.
MackOT Cuprajake Let put it another way. The ACS win over me that is why I own ACS instead of Nurri.😀
DavecUK you have to watch it all, it is funny…well made me chuckle, and I’ve watched it a few times. Drummer is called Nyango Star..or rather the character, but I don’t think anyone on the interweb knows who it actually is…might be wrong of course.
