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

„This latest revival of fine small-batch roasting may be fueled by a related new development in American specialty coffee history, the emergence of the barista culture. A barista, of course, is a fancy name for someone who operates an espresso machine and assembles espresso drinks. While larger companies like Starbucks may be on the way to replacing the skills of the barista with automatic machines, other independent, smaller cafes and chains have fueled a worldwide movement to dignify and professionalize the job of barista by instituting barista competitions, informal barista "jams," and by the recent establishment of the Barista Guild, now under the auspices of the Specialty Coffee Association of America. These barista competitions not only encourage skill in producing espresso and espresso drinks and an elegance and economy of gesture, but also - and more to the point here - an appreciation of fine and distinctive espresso blends.“

Sweet Maria's Green Coffee Blends (#)

„Notes: Espresso is a basic drink, not a fancy concoction. With a bit of dread that espresso is now being transformed into a wide range of drinks, from something squirted out of a dispenser at a gas station mini mart to a 8 ounce coffee that just happens to come from an espresso machine, we wanted to create a blend that was essentially espresso ...the rest is up to you. Espresso does not ask for much, but it demands that the basic requirements are met: You need a good fresh espresso blend, the right grind, the right amount of compacting of the grind into the filterbasket, and a machine that delivers adequately heated and pressurized water in a timely way.“

Tea & Coffee 11/03 - Is Espresso Good for Coffee? (#)

„John Rapinchuk of Knutsen Coffee, Ltd. believes that today's milk-based espresso drinks make the coffee "another step removed from the coffee farm. All parts of the espresso process become important, instead of in drip coffee, for example, where the focus is completely on the coffee." Rapinchuk notes that the SCAA assumed part of the sponsorship of the World Barista Competition from a syrup company in an effort to keep specialty coffee in the forefront of the event. He also feels there is "a lack of transparency in espresso blends, as they are usually proprietary." Rapinchuk ultimately believes, however, that anything that brings people into drinking coffee is good for the entire coffee industry.“

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

„As for the Seattle cuisine itself, it represents the expansive, defiantly non-traditional, and individualistically improvising spirit of Western America at its iconoclastic best. It is a cuisine of extremes, from tall, milky, weak drinks in which the espresso can barely be detected amid the pop seductions of pomegranate or pineapple-coconut syrup, to austerely macho "triples" of straight espresso; from the skim-milk latte made with decaffeinated coffee (dubbed the skinny no-fun by some espresso carts) to a double breve, which delivers two servings of caffeine plus all of the butterfat floating around in 12 ounces of half-and-half.“

Virtual Coffee: Making the Most of Your Home Espresso Machine (#)

„You are basically stuck if you have a water pump that willnot deliver a minimum of 130 pounds per square inch of water pressure at thegroup head of your espresso machine. Consult your owner's manual for details.Also, most home espresso machines have a single boiler without a separate heatexchanger for the water brewing the espresso drinks, and thus have a situationwhere hot water is mixed with steam. Using both steam and hot water inextracting flavors from the coffee oils results in a thin, bitter espresso, ashigh temperatures (water) and much higher pressures (steam) are being exertedonto the coffee grounds.“

From Cappuccino to Frappuccino (#)

„First stop is at Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store Cafe (566 Columbus Avenue, (415) 362-0536) in colorful North Beach, where the founder's daughter, Julie Crismani, has been barista-in-residence for the last twenty-five years. We start with the basis for most coffee drinks, an espresso. This may be the simplest drink of all, a strong one-ounce shot of coffee served in a demitasse. We move on to Julie's favorite drink, a cappuccino, which she defines as half espresso and half steamed milk.“

The Espresso Pages from Sweet Maria's: Preparing Milk Drinks - Macchiato, Cappuccino, Latte (#)

„Why? Because having made drinks in espresso bars for years, I think pouring the milk right after steaming, what we called "wet foam" (meaning that it hasn't sat and separated into hot milk capped with dry, stiff foam), benefits the beverage quality more. If you have to scoop out the foam with a spoon, then you have "dry foam". That said, I do not claim to be a great Barrista, and I don't know what the "official" techniques are, nor do I care to make rosette designs in my latte or what not...“

Milk Texturing and Pouring (#)

„This technique is performed to create a smooth and sweet milk that can be poured into heart and flower patterns.  Although the ability to pour a pattern into a cappuccino does not indicate quality in itself, it is indicative of the passion of the barista.  The ability to pour patterns into drinks will let your customers and friends know that you are serious about espresso.“

„The largest demographic of espresso drinkers is made up of people who don’t even like coffee. Let’s face it, many espresso drinks have so much other crap in the cup that you can’t even taste the good stuff. People named Chad and Margo—who drive BMW SUVs and push their daughters (Arianna, Alexis, Riley, Mercedes, etc.) around in Cannondale, carbon-fiber, full-suspension strollers—would rather not even drink caffeine. Their Yoga instructor says it misaligns their chakras.“

„He considers the larger number of pods per pouch to be an added convenience to the foodservice customer both in savings in packaging materials and a better quality espresso. He notes the preparation process is slowed down when a server is making several espresso drinks and must open a package containing a single pod for each beverage. By the time the last one is prepared, the first one has cooled down.“

No longer is relaxing for an hour in a hip coffeehouse with a good book the best part about going to one.
