Bombeck promised me that operation of the Steampunk required minimal training, and sure enough, after a quick demo and a handful of instructions, I, an unexperienced barista, was able to brew delicate and nuanced cups of coffee from the machine in minutes. Simple operation and ease of use is crucial for a restaurant setting, where establishments don't necessarily have the time or budget to train experienced baristas, but still have patrons that demand high-quality coffee. Using the recipes programmed into the Steampunk by La Colombe's coffee masters, I brewed a sweet Panamanian coffee in the pour over style, and a darker Kenyan roast with a French Press emulation. Both coffees were excellent and showcased the range of styles that can be brewed with the Steampunk.
