Coffee on the Road - Boston (INeedCoffee.com)

  „ROBUSTA!!!!!!: I don't care what any one says to me, I've never tasted a better espresso blend than one with Robusta. Now small amounts (less than 10%) are rules of thumb, and its got to be good quality robusta (there is some out there. In fact I've tasted robustas better than some arabica beans I've been sent).

Using the Barista Home Espresso Machine (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Frothing milk is an essential attribute of a good barista. And, since you own a Barista machine, you can perfect this art in the comfort of your own home. If you've decided that you are enough of an espresso lover to buy an espresso machine, you should probably spend a few more dollars and get a straight walled metal pitcher and a thermometer.“
