CoffeeGeek - Members: Coffee Recipes, People Against Starbucks ()

  „ If anything it has made me appreciate a good espresso more than ever.  Every time I sit down and have a good cup of coffee with my mother (who is the one who introduced me to espresso, and who still makes the best ;)), or when I take the time to go out of my way to sit down and one of the local independent shops that servers a good product.  The Starbucks influence reminds me of how good it really is, and why it is worth my time/effort.  In some ways, I think we all have Starbucks to thank, we now appreciate those good pulls, and when we are in a pinch, stranded in an airport anywhere in North America, we can at least get our fix.“

  „When you look at the bias of this board you will notice that people are constantly looking for a better brew and better espresso.   Unfortunately, Starbucks seems to be going down a different path and has to focus on consistency rather then being the highest quality.   I think many of the people on this forum are very passionate about coffee and have discovered a higher plateau of quality thru independent roasters and retailers that do spend the time to train their staff and care about the quality of their coffee and preparation.   I seriously doubt you will ever see Starbucks offering a Cup of Excellence winner.“

  „The problem is not that Starbucks has traded it's quality in becoming the world's leading coffee corp., but they have eaten up so many of the other coffee companies out there that were offering quality coffee. This is happening at all levels, from the larger franchises all the way down to the little coffee shops that we love. -Andrew“

  „ If the bottom 1/8 of your cup was filled I would think you have a problem, if it's just a few then it's nothing to worry about.  Also don't go dumping coffee grounds into the water tank (accident I won't make again!)  That was a source of coffee grounds in the cup for a while, until I ran 2 full tanks through the system to clean everything out!!  When I diasemble teh grouphead I also take a wet rag anc clean out the group head gasket.“

  „Around 40 machines make espresso with the proprietary Nespresso capsules. These machines gain in ease of use, but cost much more to operate, day to day, than a traditional machine, or even a pod machine.“
