CoffeeKid - Columbia Tragedy along with some coffee news
„I've been invited to attend by the organizers, Sherri and Danny Johns (the folks who organize all the US based Barista competitions), so Jeanette and I are packing up and heading to Seattle for the weekend. I'll get to visit my fave cafe once again, Zoka's, and also hook up with some of the best folks in the coffee biz: the people at ESI - they are hosting the event in their office and showroom. I'm really looking forward to it.“

The SCAE Awards for Coffee Excellence
„He sponsored and hosted the first SCAA sanctioned Barista Jam in Seattle in February, 2003, and plans to host another in the coming months. As any of us who are active in the promotion of specialty coffee excellence knows, financial gain is not a factor in our participation. But Jeff, who continues to stretch his own budget in order to sponsor such vents as the Barista Jam, the first ever Barista Guild party, held at Coffee Fest Seattle in October, 2003, as well as making funds available to send his baristas to origin and encourage them to volunteer with such groups as a local organization that teaches barista skills to underprivileged youths, has a passion and commitment to barista excellence that is beyond comparison in the United States.“

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 - Getting Caught Up, Pt. 1: Iron Barista, Barista Champs and more
„The deal was this - our two tasting judges would be "blind" as in they would not know who brewed what. Each competitor would get five minutes' warm up on their station, then have to pull a traditional double (2 cups, 1 to 1.5oz volume brewed per cup, 2 to 3 oz total brewed volume) as soon as the five minutes warmup was up. We'd serve the four drinks to the two judges - each judge would have one drink from each competitor.“
