Darker is not better. Crema color is owed to bean color, which is due to a combination of varietal, terroir, roast type, and roast depth. A better question is, "how does it taste?"how do you get such dark crema? i cant seem to get any where near that dark. iv been playing with the grind and nothing i do can get it darker all i end up doing is either grinding fine and tamping to hard. i want to make a tamper soon the one on the machine is annoying.

HA....... Milk in the coffee, tragic.
Does it make the coffee taste any different?
Any tips on getting the milk right? I too have a delonghi and I just can't seem to get it right, I've a feeling I'm using too small-a-jug for it
I don't know.. I've poured some pretty killer rosettas while training clients with some pretty bad espresso (years before I started roasting). I've poured some excellent patterns into an "espresso" with no crema (more properly called expresso, in my world).when your able to do that it means your espresso was pulled correctly and your milk was frothed properly and your pouring tecnique was good too. its kinda like the "proper way to pour a guinness"

I've also poured some art with milk that I wouldn't even drink, let alone serve.
It's good for ego-stroking, and it's a great symbol of care and attention to the craft. So, while excellent products and latte art often come together, they are not mutually inclusive.
what machine? whats your steam wand look like
I've got the eco310, it looks pretty much identical to the ec330 wand, I actually managed to get the milk perfect without even trying this morning... Now to see if I can replicate it!
