16 16 Coen van Sprang loves: The stubby screwdriver Barista, quality manager at Bocca Coffee Roasters; Amsterdam, Netherlands www.espressoparts.com 17 "This is one of the most important things I have, and it's with me all the time. My secret little screwdriver is so small that it fits everywhere: in my bag, my pockets, and almost in my wallet. I'm a cleanoholic, and when it comes to preparing espresso, your machine has to be as clean as possible—it's the only way to make sure coffee tastes its absolute best. Some of the most underestimated parts of the espresso machine are the shower screens! People always forget to take them out to get rid of the dirty, old coffee fines which stick on the screens like bubblegum. But thanks to my little screwdriver, I can easily turn, flip, polish, and flush each grouphead so it will brew a perfect shot of coffee!" 17 Jason Moore loves: The Yama Silverton coffee/tea dripper Assistant roaster, barista at the Red E Café; Portland, Oregon www.espressoparts.com "The biggest reason I love the Yama Silverton coffee/tea dripper is because it has a manual shut-off valve. The valve makes it a hugely diverse brewer, ranging from full immersion to something like a restricted Beehouse. For a full immersion, typically cold brew, I really like using the stock ceramic filter to make it really clean and crisp. For a pour-over, the Able Brewing Kone works wonderfully. The dripper is clearly not just limited to coffee—it also handles tea awesomely. For the geekier of us, you can even use it as a separation funnel; in my case, for percolated herbal tincture extractions." blog Updated daily with the most relevant and interesting coffee news and event coverage www.baristamagazine.com/blog www.baristamagazine.com 77
