CoffeeKid - The Nescafe Beginnings (#)
„Looking back I realize now that atmosphere did play a huge part in the "taste", but back then in those pre internet days I also realized that maybe, just maybe, grocery store beans didn't quite cut it. I remembered hazy discussions about fresh roast, fresh ground, fresh something. One thing I didn't know about (at the time) was the difference between robusta and arabica.

You can make a shot of espresso with a good quality grinder and a budget espresso machine that is much better than a shot made with a $1000 espresso machine and beans ground in a cheap grinder, or worse, store-ground beans.

„Lately, I've been very fortunate to have met the folks from Machines N' Beans because they have managed to find me some of the older and rare illy cups, the ones that, if you contact the US sources, never seem to be in stock any longer.
