Coffee on the Road - Boston (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„The implications of this are quite simple: if Boston can harbor high-quality espresso bars and feature consistently made drinks, then what is wrong with the rest of the United States? Certainly, I don't wish to defend the torrent of idiocy that has been at the footstools of our American specialty coffee scene. So, having said that, few other urban and non-urban populations can ,and do, host such a strongly and culturally unique atmosphere.“

Good To the Last Drip: Part 2 (INeedCoffee.com)
„Many of the machines that you will find in the stores look highly efficient. Some of them have grinder, espresso maker, and drip maker all rolled into one convenient device which will save money and counter space. DO NOT BE FOOLED. Remember, machines are mechanical and will thus wear out over time.“

Advice on Starting A Coffee Business (INeedCoffee.com)
„This is especially important for the drive-thru locations. The Design Besides an attractive visual design, your espresso station must be also designed for speed and efficiency of service so your customers don't have a long wait. There have been times when I had to wait ten minutes to get served my latte, with only a few people ahead of me. Slow, sloppy service like that may reduce the number of drinks that you sell in a given time period, reflecting directly on your revenues.“

„This definition is a bit problematic, as early espresso machines were incapable of achieving these conditions. But then, perhaps as the technology of the early 20th century advanced it makes sense that the definition undergo modification.So, there is no way, they say, that a Moka pot can produce REAL espresso. But it is widely accepted that many REAL espresso machines rarely put out good (real??) espresso since the outcome is dependant on more than having an appropriate machine. Here is where my frustration lies.“

A New Tradition : Chocolate Coffee Cake (INeedCoffee.com)
„I particularly enjoy the coffee from a stove top espresso machine because it seems to make some many different blends of coffees always end up very rich and aromatic. And because it uses a larger volume of water for brewing, your demitasse is somewhat larger than a shot of true espresso from a pump driven machine. The Cake Once you have conquered the espresso, you can turn to the cake. This is a variation between a sponge cake, a torte', and a brownie.“
