„Use all of your senses to evaluate its worthiness for use in The World's Best Cappuccino. Remember that to be considered the very best you must meet high standards, so use criteria of the most exacting caliber for judging your espresso. In a great shot of espresso I begin to see the divine--all of nature's wonders at their most passionate and intense. If your espresso expresses itself in this way, then you are ready for the next step in the preparation of The World's Best Cappuccino.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„This roast usually is called espresso or Italian in stores, but any coffee brought to a medium-dark to dark brown roast, no matter what it's called, will make a plausible espresso. Typically, however, blends designed especially for espresso blends make the best espresso beverages. They range from mild, sweet blends best for straight espresso, to dark, rich, pungent blends best for long milk drinks like caffe latte. Always use at least as much coffee as is recommended by the manufacturer of your machine.“

CoffeeGeek - Regional: United States West, best espresso in CA? (#)

„ I make it up to the Bay Area a few times a year and always have to make a pilgrimage here.  What this place lacks in character, it makes up for with probably the best espresso I've had in the states.  I've been here probably 10 times in the last 4 or 5 years, and everytime, its the same couple of unassuming looking hispanic baristas behind the counter slinging some insanely good shots without even trying.  anyone who says there's no good espresso in Berkeley hasn't been here.“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„    Even exquisite espresso is embellished with ephemiral crema; the elements that make it such a wonderful and integral part of espresso are lost forever in the course of sixty short seconds. Do not delay when serving your best espresso to guests.     Crema was once the Holy Grail of the proud barista, the professional espresso machine operator. Sadly, this is not the case these days.“

„Enter Frothed Milk. With the long, gleaming handle going the way of the running board, the best routine left to the espresso operator is heating and frothing the milk used in drinks like cappuccino and caffè latte. Espresso is a strong, concentrated coffee, and, in accordance with European tradition, many of the drinks in espresso cuisine combine it with milk. If the milk were unheated, it would instantly cool the coffee.“

:: The Black, Black Oils :: (#)

„The gathered aromatic oils will very quickly turn rancid and bitter, and that bitterness will taint every cup made." Not good. The best way to avoid tainting your espresso is to have a proactive, preventative approach to the problem. How often you clean the machine will depend on the volumes of coffee made. Ensure regular backfiushing of traditional espresso machines, and take care to clean all the parts of the portafilter daily.“

„I continue to learn new things and improve my bar skills everyday. My quip regarding the tricky coffee is "the more I learn the less I know." The best espresso is produced by people slightly outside the mainstream. Esthetes, artists and eccentrics have a refuge in the caffe espresso business. Individuals who master espresso coffee by worshiping her beauty.“

„Consequently, the best roasts for espresso brewing are those that are a bit darker than the American norm, but not too dark. Coffees roasted to the light through medium end of the spectrum typically are too acidy and bright, and tend to taste sharp or sour as espresso. On the other hand, extremely dark, almost black roasts come across as thin, watery, and charred.“

This all-organic espresso blend isbalanced, richly and roundly roasty in the demitasse, with undertones of fruity chocolate. Atingle of astringency in the finish is invigorating rather than rough.“
