TV : Good Eats : Espress Yourself : Food Network
Posted by TheShot on 14 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Home Brew, Quality Issues
Last night I caught a recent airing of Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” on the Food Network. The episode focused on home espresso production: TV : Good Eats : Espress Yourself : Food Network.
The series has always taken a more interesting, scientific layman’s approach towards cooking. And while most cooking shows, and most serious professional cooks for that matter, couldn’t tell a good espresso from the vile stuff they place in ads to actually sell the Tassimo machine, I was pleasantly surprised at how much the show got right. (Save, perhaps, his instructions to pre-heat milk to 160°F before stretching its surface when making a cappuccino.)
Maybe — just maybe — there is hope for us all.

I totally agree — generally the media gets it wrong… all wrong.
This time - not so bad.
His espresso shots were not that jazzy — but the effort counts.
