CoffeeGeek - The Latte Gambit (#)

„In this rain-soaked city about as far as you can get from Italy in the continental United States, the seeds of a coffee revolution were planted. Howard Schultz made his now-legendary visit to the espresso bars of Milan in 1983 and convinced the founders of Starbucks to test his new coffee bar concept in downtown Seattle the following year. Soon after, Mauro Cipolla began roasting his Neapolitan-inspired Caffe D'arte blends; Umberto Bizzarri brought his family's Perugia roots to Torrefazione Italia in 1986; and in 1988, David Schomer opened Espresso Vivace - all in the city eventually dubbed "Latte Land."“

„of Florence, Italy through a revitalized long-term operating agreement. The relationship began in 1978, and it has made La Marzocco the leading high volume espresso machine in the U.S. La Marzoccos can be found in singlelocation destination espresso bars and industry leaders, including four of the U.S.’s top five specialty coffee retailers. (The fifth member of that group has a growing number of Franke machines.)“

BBC - Ouch! - Features (#)

„The espresso bar at the NFT serves a fine capuccino, and there was plenty of opportunity to discuss what you had seen with fellow disabled artists and performers over a coffee. Films that were worth seeing included Burt, a moving look at the life and times of a man with a learning disability through international events and his own personal journey from institutionalisation to independence. Magic Box was a short film about the Faith Centre at the Holton Lee Arts Centre, and examined the role that contemplation plays in pain relief.“

A Little Something About the Big "S" (#)

„Schultz's vision of coffee and community was formed during a trip to Italy in 1983. The espresso bars of Milan and Verona were teeming with people stopping in for good coffee and some company. Bring this to the U.S., Schultz thought, and people will definitely come. Already an employee in Starbucks' marketing department, Schultz pitched his superiors on the coffee bar concept, but they weren't receptive.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„The original location (there are two) is sparsely decorated with no-frills furnishings, but there is no doubt that this business is all about coffee roasting. Only the dumping of freshly roasted beans into the roaster's cooling tray interrupts the bustling espresso bar. The coffee roaster is the focal point of the café, and the roastmaster often cups coffees right before customers' eyes. Whole-bean coffees sales are strong, and the café has established a devoted consumer following.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Everything tends to be improvised and casual, and the social space around the cart is continually created and recreated by those who stand, sit, stroll, or dash back to work balancing 16 ounces of espresso drink atop a pile of manilla file folders. The carts may vaguely resemble Italian espresso bars, but the customers usually walk away with their tall, milky drinks, rather than down them immediately with an elbow on the bar.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Australia is paved with Italian-style caffes and Japan has evolved its kisatens, an elegant interpretation of American 1950s-style coffee shops and coffeehouses. In Great Britain, the espresso-bar craze of the 1950s came and went, but shows vigorous signs of a Starbucks-style comeback. Other parts of Europe and the Middle East have their own ongoing traditions. In Vienna, the home of the first European coffeehouses, the café tradition has undergone a renaissance.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Krups 92011-42 Artese Espresso, Cappuccino, and Latte Maker (#)

„A rich, creamy shot of espresso is just a switch away with the handsome Krups Artese. With its Thermobloc technology and 15 bars of pressure, this machine makes especially hot espresso, and quickly. A single function knob makes operation simple. Larger than most at a whopping 50 ounces, the plastic water tank lifts out for easy filling, or can even be filled during operation, and provides enough water for extended use without refilling.“

Tea & Coffee 10/00 - Following the Viennese Coffeehouse Tradition (cont.) (#)

„In 1938, Vienna was served by 1283 coffeehouses. However, at last count, that number had fallen to a few hundred, with an additional 1083 espresso bars and 182 Café- Konditorei’s. The problem is, while consumer demand has shifted towards fast-beverage outlets, business rentals have sharply risen in line with the booming prosperity of modern Vienna. Some of the larger old-time coffeehouses have been converted into car showrooms or even into branch banks.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„ Since many coffeehouse and espresso bar operators do not take their decaf customers as seriously as their regular coffee customers, they often do not take their decaf offerings as seriously. But the same strict standards that apply to your regular coffee should apply equally (if not more) to your decaffeinated coffees. After all, it may be that you can differentiate your business by offering an impressive selection of decafs.“

Coffee on the Road - Boston (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„The implications of this are quite simple: if Boston can harbor high-quality espresso bars and feature consistently made drinks, then what is wrong with the rest of the United States? Certainly, I don't wish to defend the torrent of idiocy that has been at the footstools of our American specialty coffee scene. So, having said that, few other urban and non-urban populations can ,and do, host such a strongly and culturally unique atmosphere.“

It's All About Coffee (#)

„Any skepticism about the character of the place and the quality of the coffee served there was promptly dispelled on arrival. A real espresso bar, it had the same hammered brass tables, the same faux leather stools at the counter, the same glass-enclosed display of ciabatta sandwiches, biscotti and pastries. The coffee was excellent; only the bartender detracted somewhat from the atmosphere of smugness.“

Tea & Coffee 05/01 - An Interview With Philippe Bloch of Columbus Cafés (#)

„Location’s going to be the big issue for espresso bars in the coming years, particularly in cities like Paris with exorbitant commercial real estate prices. This is one of the reasons why we chose to team up with such companies as Fnac [a large French chain of music/video/books and computer equipment] and Vivendi [cyber-cafes]. One can not rely only on street units, which are so very expensive to acquire.“

„Russell and McDonnell owned an espresso bar in San Francisco before starting Equator Estates in rented garage space in Corte Madera. They soon branched out to a San Rafael loft, filled with the heady aroma of coffee drifting out of two humming roasting machines. Several large burlap sacks filled with green coffee beans imported from Central and South America and other locales sit on the floor.“

„Coppola called on longtime collaborators, cinematographer Vittorio Storaro and designer Dean Tavoularis to help him create this visually rich mini-movie. Shot in Ostia, outside of Rome, the story is a blend of reality and fantasy, which brings out the role of the Italian barista and the espresso bar proving that ordinary days can have extraordinary moments.“

„2999. Like the espresso bar, Europa too has a 2-4 cup capacity, a steam valve, heat resistant glass jug with lid etc. It is becoming very popular and a number of pieces have been sold owing to its better look/design and added feature of a variable brew strength selector switch that Clearline does not provide.“
