Still learning MACAP/Andreja. . .

I've had them paired up for a few days now. It is taking a bit of work to get both machines to work as a unit. Even though some of the shots aren't pretty, the espresso they are putting out is BY FAR the best I've ever had.


The crema is amazing, much fuller and thicker than before with Gaggia/Solis Maestro Plus. This is SweetMarias Monkey blend with about 5 days rest. The shots have been sitting for 20-30 seconds.

The next few pictures show how much difficulty I am having getting my distribution down pat. The shots are pretty ugly. . ..




These three pictures led to a pretty good tasting shot, and my first attempt at latte art. The Andreja steam power enables me to get close to micro-foam. I've got a lot of practice in front of me - but it is MUCH closer than I ever got with the Gaggia.



I'm gonna keep on working at this. . .
