Tea & Coffee 03/04 - American Espresso: The State of the Rage (#)

  „At-home espresso has seen exponential growth in the last five years with the sales of both designed for home and designed for espresso bar espresso makers finding their way into kitchens, finished basements and garages across the country. Nespresso, a single service encapsulated espresso product and delivery system by Nestle first found in the office has proved to be an easy-entry, fool-proof espresso maker for the home as well as office. Nespresso (www.nespresso.com ) is a pricey way to make a perfect espresso, but the system, and its nine espresso blends have a growing following among espresso lovers who want to make it at home and who lack “Brown-thumbs”.“

Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles

  „The Caffé Americano is a single or double shot of espresso combined with hot water out of the espresso machine to produce a drink similar to American brewed coffee. This method produces a smoother and fresher cup of coffee than conventional brewing. Because this cup of coffee is served immediately after brewing, it may be much hotter than brewed coffee that has been poured into a thermal pot, or placed on a warming burner.“

Interview with a Roastmaster

  „"We have twelve different types of beans from all over the world," Frank says. "We use mostly Central American beans, since they're the basis for a good espresso. We also use only 100 percent Arabica beans as opposed to Robusta, which aren't very good quality. Central American beans tend to be spicy as well as a harder bean, so they have less moisture.“

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

  „Pungency. A word to describe the pleasant, fresh-sweat, sweet-yet-twisty tones of a good West-Coast-style American espresso blend. If there is a Peet's coffee store near you, go in and sniff the coffee bins for a suggestion of the sensation I am describing. This aroma complex is seldom encountered in Italian espressos, but is a common characteristic of North- and Latin-American blends.“
