questions about the atomic and coffee quality - 2005/11/10 21:28 Hi Atomic fans,

I just bought an Atomic (and instruction manual) from an auction site last week, it's beautiful but I think I need some hints . I've made coffee 4 times so far on it, (and I worked in hospitality for years making coffee on some excellent italian machines so am no stranger to the techniques of good coffee consistency and frothing techniques) and I do realise that because it's a stove top it's probably not going to be as thick and oily a consistency as some of the bigger machines but the coffee just seems to be a bit thin. I've increased the pack of the coffee and decreased the water level I guess I just expected there to be at least a bit of that lovely caramel coloured foam-is this outside of realistic expectations of an Atomic? It's a Bon Trading one so I gather one of the newer models and the parts were guaranteed to be all working so I think its more a matter of technique than the equipment. Also, and excuse me if this is a dumb question, but can the milk frother pipe be adjusted so it's more accessible for the milk jug? Am also having a little trouble completely heating the milk all the way through-have also found the steam pressure is not strong enough to froth if I wait til the coffee has poured completely so have to start the frothing half way through-is this normal?
Having said all that, it's still pretty high quality coffee coming out of it, I guess I'm just looking to improve it-any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (and it's definitely the most beautiful thing in my kitchen!).

cheers
Tracey
