    1. Go To http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/1997/11/8/diagram_01.htm

    2. Read instructions. As they wisely point out at the related page, http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/1997/11/8/article_01.htm: "Your perseverance, however, will pay off when you delight your friends with espresso drinks that rival those in your local coffee shop. You may even come to agree that espresso is the very essence of coffee."

    3. Allow mind to boggle about why God's Channel is giving holy inspired delightful, correct milk-steaming instructions on their holy web site.

    If you don't have to go out to buy coffee you don't have to mix with those damn evil worldly people. (Am I allowed to say damn??)

    Can anyone provide the scriptural references to back-up the WTBTS advice? Did Paul or Jesus or anyone pronounce on instant/drip/espresso? I think we should be told. And what about the Mormons' view on coffee?

    There's a facinating article on growing/processing coffee from 1999 and then there is one about chocolate from 2005. No further new light on expresso, however. Bummer.

    Just reading the titles gave me a headache. Its like being stuck in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

    No, Miss carla, Jerhohum's witlesses are a reasonable people and are allowed to use their God-given intellect to choose whether or not to follow the FDS's directions in this matter. While all mature, discreet, humble, honest and true real Christians would naturally want to obey the Societies' directives, using alternate methods of preparing espresso are up to the individual's conscience. Let the reader use discernment.
