I've always wondered. Has anyone ever
used an espresso machine to make a cup
of teapresso? Just curious.

What a coincidence. Ripon just posted about using one with a dust-grade
Assam.

Oh yes, Try any Assam tea and cream with your espresso. I did and
fallen love with it.

I thought that Ripon just
used the espresso machine to add
steam or bubble to the tea which
was brewed in another teapot.

What about it Ripon? Did you use
tea in place of coffee in the espresso
machine? It was clear to me from your
post. If so then what does this do to
the tea taste? I would assume that it
would be bitter from all the exposed area
with lots of tannin. But then a good
coffee espresso doesn't follow this behavior.

Dale:

Sorry for the confusion. I am explaining again. I used the espresso
machine only for the cream and milk. After I got the steam and
bubble-I mixed it with my brewed strong Assam.

Won't someone please try this? Take a brand new espresso machine -
sorry, it mustn't already taste of coffee - and make dark Puerh
espresso? Just hack off a piece from a cake or brick; you wouldn't
have to separate the leaves!
