CoffeeKid - Part Two: A long Coffee Road Discussed (#)
„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). ESI also graciously provided the facilities and equipment for the first ever Pacific Northwest Barista Jam last February.“

„On this past Sunday, Jeanette and I hosted about 20+ folks at our house for an outdoor barbeque. About a dozen coffee industry folks showed up, and around 6 or 7 pro Baristi, including Dismas Smith (Zoka Coffee), the North American Barista champ in 2002.“

CoffeeKid - What I love and dont' love about Coffee
„Much of this is business observations, not necessarily the taste of a product. For a long time, I kept this list on my local computer to "keep it real", because I work hard to be honest with everyone I talk to about coffee - be it you, the reader of the various sites I maintain, or the industry pros I talk with on a daily basis.“

„While this is true - you can get a grinder for $15, you have to also realise you get what you pay for. Often people will blow $150 or more on a coffee maker, $12, $15 or more per pound of quality coffee, then they get it ground at the shop they bought it from, or use a blade grinder (aka the whirleyblade or weedwacker grinder) to get the grounds needed to brew.“

CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer
„The word was getting out, and the beginnings of a trend were starting form. Home roasting was slowly moving away from being a tyro and hobbyist thing to something anyone could do in the kitchen without much effort. The hot air popper home roaster was still the hobbyist, and that hobbyist often commandeered whatever room they roasted in for an hour or more, with poppers, bowls, brushes, measuring devices, colanders, oven mitts, spray bottles and much more occupying a lot of space. Some of these purpose built machines helped to ease the job, but many still went the popcorn popper route, mainly because it was the cheapest way to go.“
