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

„"[Espresso] Coffee drink drinkers are not coffee drinkers," explains Spindler, "they have no understanding of the unique qualities of the coffee itself - where it comes from, how the farmer tended the trees, even where the estate is located. Espresso-based drinks market the process of making the drink, and not the product. Retailers brand and market their store on their unique coffee drinks, such as lattes and ice-blended mochas. As the success of the Cup of Excellence has shown, coffee producing countries can market their finest coffee estates to the American consumer.” Spindler added, "We all need to tell a better story.“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„    Dwell time, dancing with your machine, swabbing the steam wand, and trips to the fridge, the sink, your grinder, and your knockbox all add up. It can take you half an hour to serve six complicated espresso and steamed milk drinks -- making them one at a time -- to six dinner guests. As your skill level and familiarity with your equipment increase you'll be able to crank out lattes and cappuccinos *almost* like a pro.     Frothing milk is another technique you will need to practice privately prior to performing in public.“

Sweet Maria's Green Coffee Blends (#)

„And to keep this a mystery, the blend contains some coffees not on our list. Extracted in a properly-functioning, clean espresso machine the blend produces a lot of crema, making the mouthfeel very thick and creamy. The sharp pungent bite to the blend is not bitter, and fades into a rich tobaccoy-milk chocolate aftertaste. If properly roasted (not scorched) the blend will not be ashy, something I really don't like in espresso.“

Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé 14 (#)

„Making a truly sweet caffe espresso is analogous to balancing a ball on the tip of your finger. When the ball is balanced (all interrelated factors affecting your espresso are controlled) a tiny movement of your finger tip , (a change in one of the factors) will cause the ball to fall off, (create a bitter espresso). After the ball has fallen, you can wiggle your finger all you want and it will not affect the ball.“

CoffeeGeek - Meeting Miss Silvia (#)

„When I got back to the States, I decided to get an espresso maker to try to duplicate the French coffee experience. Not knowing anything, I purchased a steam espresso maker and made espresso (just strong coffee, in hind sight) for a while, making mostly milked drinks. For beans, I used canned or bricked pre-ground espresso coffees. I stopped enjoying the results (go figure).“

„With all this in place, you'l never have to put up with that flavoured rubbish the coffee chains put out again. Coffee tastes good - anyone who adds flavouring to mask the espresso probably isn't making good coffee in the first place.“
