Last month I bought an espresso machine from [DELETED]. It looks good but the problem is I don't know how to use it in the proper way. I got a catalog along with it and tried so many times . But still I'm not satisfied with any of the espressos prepared my me. First I thought the problem is with the machine. But my friend also has bought the same last year and her espresso is just superb..!!!
Can someone help me to prepare the best espresso ? I too want to be a professional espresso maker ;)

I have joined for a short term course on Java last week. The syllabus seems to be very tough. Can someone help me to study this language..please share some tips for understanding the basics .
Thank you

My best friend who is from India is a good cook. She used to add ghee or milk along with wheat powder to increase the softness.
