„ Machines are fussy, squirty, and drippy. The miraculous elixir known as espresso dribbles into your demitasse because the machines are made of valves, gaskets, tubes, soldered joints, and filters that operate under tremendous pressures and at high temperatures. These mechanical parts will fatigue, burn out, get clogged, bend, wear thin, or break. Residual coffee oils will turn rancid in a few hours on a warm machine.“

„Overall I consider these to be state of the art as capp cups go. Inox also makes a 3 oz espresso demitasse and a 12 oz latte cup in this series. Frobosk offers a 10 oz latte cup - more to my liking - I have a set on order and will post a review accordingly once they've been thoroughly evaluated.“

„“Buon giorno!” a barista greeted Schultz one morning, as he handed a demitasse of espresso to one customer, and then deftly created a cappuccino, topped with white foam. “The barista moved so gracefully that it looked as though he were grinding coffee beans, pulling shots of espresso, and steaming milk at the same time, all the while conversing merrily with his customers,” Schultz recalls. “It was great theater.”“

„I’ve seen too many baristi take a four-ounce demitasse (and sometimes a larger cup) and extract the espresso until it filled the cup. Always make an espresso shot, whether or not it is enveloped by milk, between one and one-and-a-quarter ounces. And unless the espresso is a double or ristretto, use a shot glass to measure properly until you know the correct shot size by sight. Remember: Less is more—taste, that is.“

„Your espresso should have a thick, brownish layer on top, the crema coating. If this coating fails to cover the entire top of the demitasse at least an eighth of an inch thick (who measures?), there was insufficient pressure during the brewing process. Crema is more sought after in the coffee world than any other aspect of the discipline.“
