CoffeeGeek - Rancilio Silvia - John Santomassino's Review (#)
„Starbucks barista or Rancillio price point is 150 when Barista is on sale....Not on sale its 50.00 for the money it’s a no brainier Rancillio wins hands down.“

„I called Starbucks customer support, and they were nice, but made it clear that with a machine that old what they could offer in support was limited. Turns out I'm going to have to shell out another $35 for parts to just test the machine (other than running water through the brew head or steam wand.)“

Tea & Coffee 01/04 - Working at Starbucks: More Than Just Pouring Coffee
„The manager or assistant manager is assigned to showing the new partner the ropes, but even their hands-on experience is divided similarly to the book. The barista is taken through each station and after they practice a few times, they are given a test; for instance, if the barista was being shown how to make a cappuccino, he or she has to make the drink to standard independently. If done correctly, the partner can move onto the next station; if not, they must continue at this station until they have passed drink-making abilities. As I said before, this is not the Marines of coffee making, but it certainly can be considered the boot camp for producing the finest coffee makers in the industry - each new hire if they decide to take the challenge, will become THE ULTIMATE COFFEE CHAMPION!“

„Bottom Line: Look... if you are just getting started in the home Barista routine, buy Barista products. Sure, there are better for much more $$$, but walk B4 you run!“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„A barista, of course, is a fancy name for someone who operates an espresso machine and assembles espresso drinks. While larger companies like Starbucks may be on the way to replacing the skills of the barista with automatic machines, other independent, smaller cafes and chains have fueled a worldwide movement to dignify and professionalize the job of barista by instituting barista competitions, informal barista "jams," and by the recent establishment of the Barista Guild, now under the auspices of the Specialty Coffee Association of America. These barista competitions not only encourage skill in producing espresso and espresso drinks and an elegance and economy of gesture, but also - and more to the point here - an appreciation of fine and distinctive espresso blends. Those interested in the contemporary barista movement will find information on the Barista Guild at www.scaa.org/related_organizations.asp “
