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

„Both Willem and I were disappointed by an overall lack of natural sweetness in these blends. If this were a tasting of espressos from other parts of the country, I might expect the excessive bitterness or sharpness to come from acidy coffees brought to too dark a roast, but this was not the case in most of these samples. My own suspicion is that some of these blends rely too heavily on coffees like traditionally processed Sumatras or other coffee types that are low in acidity but often sharply musty or mildewed. The musty notes, handled right in a blend and coupled with sweetness in the coffee, can add depth, character, and a sort of spicy chocolate to espresso blends, but some of these blends appeared to express a little too much of the bitter side of these creatively musty components.“

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

„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.“

CoffeeGeek - Innova Grinder - Conclusions (#)

„You may have read online some claims that the Innova grinders are a barely disguised Ibertal grinder (it shares the same silhouette and also features a similar worm drive gear selection), but it isn't the same grinder any more than the Solis Maestro is the same grinder as the Starbucks Barista. Ascaso along with Espresso Parts Northwest analysed the market, looked at what people were complaining about with the Rocky, and tried to improve on it. It is CoffeeGeek's opinion that they still have some work to do on the product, but keep in mind, when the Rocky first came out, it went through a fine tuning period as well, and was modified and refined in its first few years.“

„The new Clicker Tamp from Espresso Parts Northwest addresses the issues behind hand placement and is designed ergonomically to enhance its function. As a training tool, the Clicker Tamp’s upper housing features an apron that allows for proper placement of both the index finger and thumb. This allows the barista to use the tool as if it were a standard espresso tamp, and results in more exact accuracy of pressure applied.“

CoffeeGeek - A Tale of Five Tampers (#)

„The tamper in this roundup I've been using the longest is the Ergo Tamper - it has about a year on the next closest competitor, the aluminum Espresso Parts tamper, and for the longest time I thought I found the tamper that was ideal for me - that being the Ergo Tamper. But the opportunity to try all these different models has found a new 'favourite' for me. Here's my thoughts on each tamper:“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„    Residual coffee oils will turn rancid in a few hours on a warm machine. The filter, showerhead disk, gasket, and all other parts that contact the coffee must be kept reasonably clean or your espresso will taste awful. Keeping your machine clean is strictly a manual job. Leaving soap on your equipment is just as bad as leaving it dirty; maybe worse.“

Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé 6 (#)

„Caffe espresso combined with steamed milk in a ratio of about 5:1 (five parts milk to one part espresso), served in a ceramic bowl shaped cup with a total volume of no more than 7 ounces. The milk may be steamed to a chiffon textured foam in the hands of a master, but it must be of a consistency to blend with the espresso.“

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

„A taller, milkier version of the classic mocha (see above). If I were to suggest proportions for this invention, they would be one part properly strong espresso, one part properly strong chocolate, and three parts milk and froth. These proportions produce a drink that is milkier, taller, and more muted than the classic mocha, but still rich enough to satisfy.“

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

„Willem and I sampled a total of fourteen single-origin coffees as espresso. As always with Coffee Review espresso tastings, they were sampled both as straight shots and in hot milk (two parts milk to one part coffee). The average score was an impressive 85, and four of the eighteen attracted ratings of 89 or higher.“
