Instructional video produced in 1998 to accompany Starbucks‘ branded home espresso maker. It features the “revolutionary new” Rapporto filter, occasionally referred to here as the “porta-filter.” Part One covers the basics of how to create espresso drinks with your new machine. The basic steps are: prime the machine, steam the milk, prime the machine again, and brew the coffee – either using ground espresso or Starbucks espresso pods. So simple, it takes 10 minutes to explain!
Thanks for posting this! I have a Barista machine that I bought a few years ago. Mine’s a bit more recent than this video (mine’s a Saeco), but it’s still the same concepts.
I never knew coffee videos could be so cheezy.
This is really helpful. I have the exact set up displayed in this video. I didn’t know some of these facts, until I watched this.
