„David Schomer of Espresso Vivace, even after almost a decade in the business and working with the finest professional espresso machines he can find, says he only creates “perfect espresso” about 20% of the time. What is “perfect espresso?” To Schomer, that means it tastes just like his freshly roasted coffee smells. Sadly, this quality is almost impossible to accomplish on a home unit with any level of consistency. back to contents D-9.“

„Many specialty coffee independents find little good to say about Starbucks, but Schomer of Espresso Vivace observes that the company did "raise the bar on professionalism," setting a high standard for cleanliness, consistency and service. Starbucks, he says, spelled the end for dives like The Last Exit to Brooklyn, which Schomer frequented when he was a student at the University of Washington. ("The bathroom required a gas mask to enter," he quips, "and the coffee was ground fresh that week.")“

„David Schomer, owner of Vivace's, is considered by some to be one of the foremost espresso experts in the United States. His espresso blends have been created in the Italian tradition of light roasts with intense aromatics, sweet, smooth, and complex overtones. His goal is to attain an espresso ristretto shot that tastes analogous to how it smells. His book Espresso Coffee: Professional Techniques is a good starting book for espresso preparation. Techniques that were neglected can be easily be learned or found in these pages. He also sells a tamper that has interchangeable pistons to fit perfectly into any filter basket, a necessity to attain espresso's true potential. “
