CoffeeGeek - The Latte Gambit (#)

  „Seattle and Starbucks can take credit for popularizing espresso drinks in America, but unfortunately, the job was accomplished by delivering this remarkable beverage in double grande cups of steamed milk. Now it's up to cafes and roasters around the country to convert consumers from super-sized lattes to quality espresso beverages. It should also be noted that most restaurant critics, who wax poetic over wine lists, remain woefully ignorant on the subject of espresso. Until cafe owners and food critics begin to enlighten consumers and those consumers begin to demand quality espresso, milk and sugar—if not raspberry flavoring—will remain the dominant elements in most American espresso drinks.“

CoffeeGeek - Members: Coffee Recipes, People Against Starbucks

  „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 costs of production are fantastically low in Asia, compared to Central America. And you can bet you booty that any type of highly processed coffee beverage made from a powder at your local coffee boutique, such as Mochachino and Caramel Iced Frappelatte are made with Vietnamese Robusta. And all those bizarre "cappuccino machines" and truck stops... you guessed it.“

It's All About Coffee

  „For the Cafe Q regulars out there, realize that a "Short" beverage is 8 ounces, "Tall" is 12, and "Grande" is 16. So a Grande drip coffee would contain just under 300 mg of caffeine. A single shot of espresso has about 100 mg in it.“
