CoffeeKid - Cup Photos and Stories, 1991-1999 (#)

  „illy collection cups embody this fusion of science and art. They provide the near ideal canvas for a true God shot* of espresso (though they could be a bit thicker - check out this article I wrote on illy cups and thick porcelain ). And while there are bumps in the road (I have my own opinions about which cups constitute "art" and which ones constitute "art for art's sake"), illy really has brought about a tangible, visible fusion between art and science in espresso.“

CoffeeKid - Espresso Nirvana: Can it be Reached?

  „Within this espresso section of the CoffeeKid site there is a mini faq, some thoughts and ruminations on my own opinions on what a God shot is all about, and much more. I hope you read, learn and enjoy, but I also hope you develop your own opinions, and who knows, maybe even come up with a new coffee-based beverage that may even make espresso, the modern day one, seem passe. And the road to nirvana will get just a bit longer.“

CoffeeKid - Things I love about coffee and espresso

It's All About Coffee

  „However, if you make the effort to produce a proper espresso, you should select a blend that is consistent with the quality of espresso the customers deserve. Check the blend’s performance drawing actual espresso (making brewed coffee to test espresso beans is a meaningless exercise). The physical properties, such as color, body and crema, and the flavor characteristics, such as aroma and taste, must be appropriate and in proper balance.“
