S T U F F : P R O D U C T S AUTO BREW RATIO—ENGAGE! The precision scales beneath each group of the La Marzocco Linea PB took three years of work and research to perfect. Now the Auto Brew Ratio scales are incorporated into the espresso machine's electronics system and provide the barista a new level of consistency by giving control over beverage mass. The Auto Brew Ratio allows the barista to eliminate the step of weighing and correcting each coffee dose, while still consistently achieving the desired brew ratio. Using ratio mode, the preferred brew ratio is programmed into the machine. So when the barista places the loaded portafilter on the drip tray scale, the machine weighs the ground coffee. The barista then engages the portafilter and activates the brewing cycle. The brewing cycle automatically stops the shot when the correct brew ratio is achieved. www.lamarzocco.com THE ART AND STYLE OF TASTING NOTES The new KeepCup Tasting Notes range takes inspiration from the Specialty Coffee Association of America's flavor wheel, which is not only the most iconic resource in specialty coffee, but also the industry standard in flavor for more two decades. From the boldness of cocoa, to the fruity citrus notes of tea rose, KeepCup's Tasting Notes explores a world of unique, sometimes rare flavors and the bright colors of nature.
