Fresh Cup Magazine (#)
„ Throughout the coffee industry, there are always people seeking out good coffee or ways to make good coffee better. Today, as the culture of the barista seems to be accelerating in gigantic leaps and bounds, with competitions and new technologies, we cannot take our eyes off of the prize: the coffee. Appreciating every bit of hard work that goes into making a good cup of coffee for a customer should be on the forefront while standing behind an espresso machine.“

Tea & Coffee 01/02 - Coffee in Asia: A World Cup
„(Or is it 3000, by now?) Bigger in size with tables close together, about 80 seats altogether, it is different from its American counterparts. The barista there has the same reaction to my query - no knowledge about American coffee bars but can talk about her customers. Most business is done in the evening. The store opens in the morning but not too early.“

„Much of the blame falls on improper or inadequate training of the barista, the person working behind the espresso counter. Other contributors to disappointing espresso quality include poor choice of coffee beans, improper roasting and blending for espresso, stale coffee beans, incorrect grinding, dosing, and packing of the portafilter, and a limited understanding of the percolation process. Of these the most serious errors are made in the final processes—the grinding, dosing, packing, and extraction—that occur in the retail environment. Unfortunately, this is also where most consumers are learning about this new, somewhat foreign, beverage.“

„In North America, a barista is usually an entry-level position that pays somewhat better than minimum wage. What a contrast to the Italian tradition, where the barista fulfills such an important role in the coffeehouse! For you, the guerrilla trainee, I don't expect any problem in finding employment with a local coffeehouse. But before you start your barista career, make sure the company has a good record of on-the-job training programs.“
