CoffeeGeek - Barista Basics... Or Not! (#)
„As a consultant to many coffee companies around the globe, I have observed that most firms are headed by people who do not fully understand their coffee product. They generally see the product as a commodity, not as having value in itself, and not having a strong enough appeal on its own. This is the reason why many are simply interested in the cost side of the ledger, always asking themselves how can we do it cheaper rather than how can we do it better.“

CoffeeGeek - McEspresso Comes to Town
„Any question of roast style, blend profile, or barista skill are way beyond the scope of this kind of operation. As a coffee person, I see this as a huge opportunity for the real coffeehouse, staffed with coffee professionals who know, understand and love coffee, to shine. I hope it will present a challenge to the barista and coffeehouse owner: It is no longer enough to know how to pronounce 'latte' correctly; it is no longer sophisticated to order an 'americano'. As these become more commonplace, the baristas who know their stuff will rise to the top.“

CoffeeGeek - What Barista Jams Are Made Of
„For a small fee, the barista comes away with a new sense of pride and profession. Savvy owners see the jams as common grounds for learning and bonding. Some of our greatest supporters are high profile cafes where learning and espresso experimentation is encouraged. Other smaller cafes see the value in exposing their baristi to a bigger picture of coffee, learning new techniques and skills or strengthening current skill sets while meeting other baristi.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Questions and Answers, What is Italian espresso like?
„In November 2004 I met two people at a barista competition and they had been to Italy and even visited the LaMarzocco factory. They told me that a typical Italian espresso tastes like a good double espresso from the Torrefazione coffee house chain in the USA. To me that means that Italian espressos are not good because the best espresso from Torrefazione is bad compared to the best of Barefoot, Stumptown, Vivace, Zoka, Hines, Vita etc. (Note: these folks were taking about the 2004 Torrefazione).“
