CoffeeKid - Later On July Musings in Coffee and Espresso (#)
„Why it's training, one person at a time, a core of teenaged boys and girls (girls so far) how to be a Barista! :) Jeanette's studio for her Piano School is next to our house, and her students sometimes wander into the labs in the basement, and are intrigued by the big La Marzocco. So I jump all over that, and give them impromptu lessons. So far, I have four "disciples" and counting.“

CoffeeKid - Getting back into the groove once again
„Challenge!! Thimble Sized Latte Art! . Basically it came about when Jeanette and I were having a friendly chat and we were talking about how I'm focusing on doing espresso cup latte art these days, and that my skills in doing big bowl latte art have been lacking. She joked "I wonder if anyone's ever done latte art in a thimble?" I wondered if I could do it.“

CoffeeKid - Guide to Espresso Machines
„These can be superb machines in the home, but I do not consider these machines when thinking about newbies and espresso. These are manual espresso machines, requiring a high degree of barista skills for the production of consistent, first rate espresso. Consider a lever or spring piston machine after you have some experience under your belt. Models include the Micro Cimbali and Elektra Micro Casa Leva (both spring piston machines), and the La Pavoni Europiccola, Professional, and Romantica machines (lever piston machines, no spring).“

CoffeeKid - Part Two: A long Coffee Road Discussed
„Plus, La Marzocco and their US distributor, Espresso Specialists really have set the bar in terms of supporting Barista competitions. Not only do they bend over backwards to make sure everything's right, but they informally allow Baristi to get some "face time" with machines prior to competitions, either at their showrooms, or their "satellite partners" showrooms. I remember going to ESI's Seattle office and seeing Dismas Smith (Zoka Coffee) training for the World's last year - getting a full day in ESI's showroom, allowed to do pretty much anything he wanted (with Jeff Babcock overseeing everything Dis was doing).“
