„The result is an emulsion of flavorful and aromatic oils combined with other chemical elements and suspended gas bubbles, giving you the concentrated flavor, velvety texture, and crema (foam) that distinguish true espresso. (Notwithstanding espresso's reputation, a shot of espresso contains only about 60 percent of the caffeine in a regular brewed cup--even though both use about the same amount of ground coffee--because the water is in contact with the grounds for such a brief time, ideally about 25 seconds.)“

„Not only is he arguably the most knowledgeable about coffee in San Diego county (he personally knows everyone from Juan Valdez to Rosito Bisani, to the Lavazza, Danesi, and Pasquini families), but he supplies only the best coffees to the best clients. If it is a fine restaurant in San Diego, they have Roma Espresso's coffees. He also imports desserts from Rome (like the famous Bindi pastries), etc etc. His coffee carts are in the best locations like the Ximed building in La Jolla.“

„After she had dried her hair and put on eyeliner -- the sum total of her makeup most days -- Jenna glanced at the clock again and saw that it was not quite eleven-thirty. With a little time left to kill, she went to the small refrigerator and took out half a tuna fish sub she had ordered from Espresso's the night before. As she ate, she sat on the floor and read. It was an old book by Shirley Jackson called We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and it gave her the creeps.“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„    Why is this so? Espresso's water-to-coffee contact time is short, leaving some of the caffeine molecules locked into the plant fibers. A darker roast also tends to reduce caffeine content (this topic really gets people excited on the coffee newsgroups!) Fine Arabica coffees contain one half of the caffeine found naturally in the cheaper Robusta beans that are used in supermarket coffees.“

Coffee: Resources for home espresso (#)

„You should emulate espresso's extraction temperature, by letting the just-boiledwater cool a bit before use. You could also emulate espresso's flavor isolation,by quickly brewing a generous quantity of coffee. However, the French press isbest understood as a different beast. In particular, one brews a coarser grindfor a longer time, with a less concentrated result.“

„Dear cyber reader, As you know, if you have read my book or perused the Factors section on line here at Lucidcafé, I approach the complex art of espresso by identifying the factors that affect the process of brewing caffe espresso. I have also made a religion of espresso's interrelated complexity. Stated simply, you can not isolate a factor until all the other factors are in your control.“

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

„The word espresso itself suggests custom-brewing, as in brewed expressly for you, as well as direct, rapid, non-stop, as in express train. Not only has technology been applied enthusiastically to the actual process of brewing espresso, but the imagery of technology, the idea of modernity and speed, also turns up as a major element in espresso's cultural symbolism.“

„There is not such a thing as a true general espresso blend... for instance I have seen espresso's roasted from very light, to very dark. The blend itself can be variable. In many parts of Europe the blend is almost entirely robusta, while in the states, Australia and Asia it can be anywhere from a high % of robusta to an Arabica rich blend.“

„Espresso's a fleeting thing. And it's tiny - between 0.75 and 3.0 ounces for a double shot, depending on if you're a ristrettohead or a traditionalist. If you know anything about thermal dynamics (and I know very little), you know that that small volume of liquid can be greatly affected by exterior temperature influences.“

It took me trial and error, but these simple steps will give you espresso's that, in my opinion, are way better than starbucks.“
