Let’s see now, in the first two months since the election we have:

a President-elect we know almost nothing about. The only President in history that we will not be able to visit his birthplace because we don’t know where it is.

He has appointed a Secretary of Treasury who didn’t pay ,000 taxes owed from 2001 until just before his appointment and had employed an illegal immigrant for domestic work.

He has appointed a Secretary of Commerce who has already had to withdraw because of a federal investigation into corrupt practices.

He has appointed a White House Homeland Security adviser and deputy National Security Adviser for counterterrorism who headed up the company responsible for the passport breach at the state department and gave us the faulty pre-war intelligence that took us into IRAQ.

He was chastised by Senate Intelligence Committee members for choosing someone who is not an intelligence professional to head the Central Intelligence Agency.

He has appointed as Secretary of Education a one-time pro-probasketball player who lead the third largest public school system in the country where employees skirted competitive bidding rules to buy 30 cappuccino/espresso machines for ,000; where student athlete’s grades were boosted, then, after transcripts were issued for college admission offices, the grades were changed back; a system with one of the worst ratings in our country with only a 52% graduation rate when the Economic Policy Institute researchers estimate slightly more than 80% of students in our country receive a high school diploma.

Has appointed as Secretary for Homeland Security the Arizona governor about whom Michael Lacey, a Phoenix journalist wrote …”Sorry Service in Arizona Makes Her a Terrible Choice for Homeland Security Secretary”

I could go on and on and on and on………………………

Not to mention the problems with his pick for his chief of staff and the governor of his own state over his Senate replacement.

More than sixty percent of the people, most of our college and university professionals, and almost the entire mainstream media think he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. What are they seeing that I’m not seeing?

Gail shows us how to make a cappuccino with the Jura S9 One Touch superautomatic espresso machine and points out some of its main features.

Breville's Ade Schober demonstrates how to make the perfect espresso with the Die-Cast Espresso Machine.

Gail walks us through the ins and outs of the Jura Ena series of Superautomatic espresso machines.

Gail shows us the features, pros and cons between a few different models of superautomatics. In this video, she compares the Jura Ena series, Saeco Talea Giro & Ring Plus and the Gaggia Platinum Vogue and Swing.

In this first part of an eventual two part series, Gail talks to us about some of the lower-end single boiler espresso machines available. Discussed in this video are the Ascaso Dream, Gaggia Color, Francis Francis! X7, Saeco Aroma and Breville Die Cast espresso machines.

Gail talks about the certified refurbished Saeco Incanto superautomatic espresso machines, including how we refurbish them, the machine features and how it compares to newer machines on the market.

There are so many brands out there i would love input from anyone with experience with espresso machines.

I'm pretty good with my tamping and timing, but since retiring from being a barista at a small coffeehouse, I miss the espresso. After looking around I have been fairly disappointed with the junk espresso machines that are being pushed right now.

What I'm looking for is an espresso maker that does not auto-tamp, has a hot waterspout, a steam wand, manual steam control (for the group head), and a hefty portafilter.

Where can I find such one that is not junk?
