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

„We describe three of these cuisines: the classic northern Italian, the Italian-American, and a new, thoroughly American cuisine that has erupted in many-flavored splendor out of Seattle over the past decade-and-a-half, and has come to dominate the American experience of espresso. This last tradition could be called post-modern espresso, Seattle-style espresso, cart espresso (after the ubiquitous Seattle espresso cart), mall espresso, or even latte espresso, after its featured drink. It should be noted that Seattle, which has become one of the meccas of North American coffee culture, produces some of the purest and most elegantly presented espresso cuisine in the world. However, it also has spawned an innovating new cuisine that has about the same relationship to classic espresso as the pop singer Madonna has to her namesake.“

Roasted Coffee Suppliers (#)

„Supplier of freshly roasted coffee and espresso.  Espresso roast is lighter than typical American espresso yielding a thick espresso with a sweet reddish-brown crema.  Mauro Cipolla was trained in the fine art of espresso roasting and blending in Italy and has brought this tradition to Seattle.  I recommend the Firenze blend which is prepared in the Northern Italian tradition to be mild, aromatic, sweet and smooth. Robusta is undoubtedly used in his blends.“

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

„Although some of these innovations originated in Berkeley and San Francisco (the caffe latte and the mocha, neither of which are standard Italian caffe offerings, and the white chocolate mocha), everything else on that vast and proliferating menu appears to have bubbled up out of a ferment of grass roots exuberance in either Seattle or Portland. At the height of this palate-staggering explosion I recall visiting espresso carts and kiosks in Seattle in the 1980s and finding drinks on the menu that used as many as three flavorings - one mixed with the espresso, one in the frothed milk and one flavoring a final topping of whipped cream.“

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

„The technological sophistication of the espresso system only could have evolved in the context of public establishments with enough coffee drinkers to support the expense involved in maintaining such large and complex coffee-making equipment. Thus espresso and the espresso machine have come to constitute the spiritual and aesthetic heart of a variety of subtly different institutions, including the Italian-American caffe, the espresso bar, the American coffeehouse, and now the Seattle-style espresso cart and stand.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„   Teahan encourages coffeehouse owners to be proactive and tell suppliers at the outset that you expect them to be informational resources, and to stop by regularly to talk shop, especially about trends that you, trapped in your own shop, might not be seeing. On your side, you can take concrete steps toward furthering communication by delegating a person—perhaps yourself—to deal with your supplier, according to Darren Reynolds, sales manager at Seattle, Wash.-based Visions Espresso. “It’s good for us when people at the coffeehouse know product order numbers and other details,” he says.“

CoffeeKid - Goin' to Seattle, Francis! Francis! and Etching (#)

„We would spend 20 minutes picking apart the most minutiae of detail on the most insignificant things to most coffee fans, like a long discussion on the relative merits of a dual charging heat exchanger system used not to deliver brewing water, but used to heat the brewing boiler and hot water tap on a espresso machine. And the car trip is predictable - on the way down we'd discuss primarily positive things about coffee and espresso, and on the way back, we'd bemoan the fact that Vancouver has a bloody long way to go when compared to the top tier coffee scene in Seattle.“

Coffee: Resources for home espresso (#)

Legendary for its troubleshooting guide.While the advice leans toward pumpusers, the author closes his equipment section with his "sentimental favorite," the Pavoni Europiccola:"Not a machine I can recommend for everyone, this is a machine for the incurable romantic."“

„New Orleans’ dark roast heritage predates espresso and goes back to the City’s French roots. Miami became an espresso cultural center in the 1960s and in the last 30 years Seattle, Boston, and Chicago joined the ranks of U.S. cities with highly developed espresso cultures. Other espresso centers have developed as well, along with the roasters and retailers to support local consumer demand.“
