CoffeeKid - More Adventures in CoffeeLand (#)
„Here's the very, very sad news: the best espresso shot we had out of all the shops we hit was... a Starbucks. And it wasn't the Starbucks espresso, pulled on their La Marzocco Linea machine.“

CoffeeKid - Things I love about coffee and espresso
„Starbucks: Yes, Starbucks. For all their corporate crap (see my bad things about coffee, below), Starbucks must be credited for many things - showing the general public there is better coffee out there. Having stellar after sales service for products that most vendors can't (or won't) touch. Actively promoting Fair Trade coffee - they may not sell a heckuva lot of it compared to all the coffee they sell, but the fact that they promote it like crazy is awesome - it educates the public about the Coffee Crisis.“

Factors in a Perfect Cup (of espresso)
„Currently, this is impossible with the state of espresso machine technology. The most stable machine that I know of is the semi-automatic La Marzocco three group Linea model.“

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).“

„Moving to Vancouver saw changes, including my appreciation for quality coffee. Besides some early west coast Starbucks experiences, the biggest improvement was the acquisition of a Gaggia Baby espresso machine.“
