Re:Coffee Dinner Plates, cups etc. - 2006/03/25 03:14Coffee Freak,
That's why we did leave your message here, but the intent wasn't clear (especially with the capital letters, "everything!" and jumbo size tag).
Do you want us to list all of the possible coffee-branded kitchen items in existence? Our favourite items? No, I'm not trying to be difficult, but can you lower the scope of your question so that we can take a stab at it?
You are likely to find coffee motif paraphenalia all over the place, as vendors try to cash in on the new "gourmet coffee" consciousness in the market. Much of what I have seen is often whimsical and doesn't necessarily reflect much real coffee knowledge - nothing wrong with that - common examples being items strewn with words like latte, cafe, caffe, coffee, mocha, iced coffee, venti, grande etc. in various spellings.
Did you catch the Francis-Francis lookalike tea-kettle on the blog page? I thought that one was pretty funny.
You may find these things anywhere, particularly at small and independent kitchen shops or country stores for the more colourful examples. Department stores, Walmarts, Targets may have blander versions. Dollar stores will likely have something.
I have yet to see much that reflects knowledge of the difference between an espresso and expresso, or a latté vs. a cappuccino. I received a set of what look like big coasters, but are actually hanging plates, whose coffee-related slogans are somewhat ironically in juxtaposition to the splashy coffee drink names and pictures painted around them.

Could bad taste come for poor maintenance?
Heck yes! It is the cause of 99% of taste problems with espresso coffee (all other mechanical things being normal and the coffee being fresh...)

Hi,
I've had my Mokita for 5 years now, and I find the coffee is getting kind of bitter - sour, and there is almost no more crema. At first, I thought it was the coffee itself, but now I doubt it....
Pouring the espresso into the hot water, saves the crema.... I have has this request a few times, as for taste difference, I do not know if it does....
As opposed to the other way around? Do you mean the difference between pouring the water over the espresso as opposed to pouring the espresso over the hot water?
If so the only real difference, in...
