Ahhh, that's not what you said originally is it now. For me, no. No other coffee making process is equal. And, it depends on what one thinks is the ideal coffee. For me, what comes out of my machine (mostly) is ideal. For others its what comes out of a tin.
Well, actually I think it is what I said. To be the best way of making coffee, espresso would have to be demonstrably better than all other methods. It isn't. I will accept, however, that FOR YOU AT THIS POINT IN TIME, the many other ways of making coffee do not match up. You and several others clearly require re-education. I was under the impression this was a coffee forum rather than an espresso forum. The more I experience good coffee, the more I appreciate the many different ways it is prepared. Please try not to become too snobby about one particular way of preparing it. Also, it may be worth remembering: the majority of drinks made on espresso machines are, frankly, shite. Those that are good are rarely a standard espresso shot When espresso is no longer the fashion item it has recently become, that doesn't make it uncool - just not automatically cool because the sorry excuses for humanity operating the KVW charged $5 for 15ml of acidity. Like I said there are too many espresso machines. I might add that there are not enough people who know how to use one. I usually start the day with an aeropress long black. Next month it will likely be something else. Viva la difference.

I had a Syphon at Danelion and Driftwood today then compared this to a long black. Both were great but I liked the espresso better. I have no idea why.
??? So you had three drinks then? Siphon, long black and espresso?
