„Unfortunately, I found the taste of most of the espressos rather disappointing and the capuccinos, although good to look at, had little taste of coffee. The signature drinks, made to the barista’s own design, showed flair and imagination using a variety of ingredients – mint, honey, nuts, even egg yolk, and copious quantities of cream, whipped or otherwise, all served in some very exotic and innovative containers. However, a major criticism from all judges was that they had very little coffee flavour and the rules demand that there should be a recognisable coffee taste.. “

„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.“
