Tea & Coffee 12/02 - Editor's Letter (#)

„BARISTAS - A good thing - Barista training is becoming more accessible as many yearn to learn the craft. But all baristas should be aware of the advantages superautomatic espresso machines offer a coffee bar owner. More initial money laid out for these machines may be worth the trouble owners face by constantly training new personnel. I have the good fortune of employing a college-age lady to watch my children while I’m at work.“

„I'm no expert by any means, and I'm on the lower end, with a Saeco Vienna I think around $400. Superautomatic, espresso for dummies as I would call it. Great espresso, does everything but drink it for you. Only drawback is the one hopper/grinder, does not allow easy change for decaf or other beans.“
