CoffeeGeek - The Latte Gambit

CoffeeGeek - The Latte Gambit ()

  „In this rain-soaked city about as far as you can get from Italy in the continental United States, the seeds of a coffee revolution were planted. Howard Schultz made his now-legendary visit to the espresso bars of Milan in 1983 and convinced the founders of Starbucks to test his new coffee bar concept in downtown Seattle the following year. Soon after, Mauro Cipolla began roasting his Neapolitan-inspired Caffe D'arte blends; Umberto Bizzarri brought his family's Perugia roots to Torrefazione Italia in 1986; and in 1988, David Schomer opened Espresso Vivace - all in the city eventually dubbed "Latte Land."“

  „One of the best ways to make good strong coffee with little skill and little money.  You can buy some of Italy's finest caffe' espresso in small amounts ground for this purpose (so you don't even need a grinder.)  It is very light-weight and transports easily.  Care is simple, don't use soap, just some water and a paper towel (I've read baking soda, but have never had to use it.)“

  „: I was just hoping that someone could give me their opinion as to whether they think its a good package to go with. I have read up about Faema and they are Italy's top selling commercial espresso machine - I cant think of a place where people are more fussy about their coffee, so I see this as a good sign. In regards to coffee beans, The Savoy Hotel in London uses miko granditalia beans, so they must be good - I am thinking that I might be able to strike a deal if I choose this package and also choose miko as my coffee bean provider.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: General Discussion, Definitive moments in your espresso-odyssey!! CoffeeGeek - Espresso: General Discussion, Definitive moments in your espresso-odyssey!!

  „I've been drinking coffee since I was about 14 or so (24 now), but it was always a very casual experience with little appreciation for the brew (because there was little to appreciate, believe me!) My town didn't even get a Starbucks until a few years ago, so my first experience with espresso and espress-based drinks was at some of the local shops.  I was around 16 when I first experienced espresso, but I wasn't intrigued; looking back with what I know now it was a really bad experience.  I developed an affinity for a cappa or a latte, and that became my drink of choice for many years; it was something I took time out of my day, every day, to enjoy.“
