The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„A barista, of course, is a fancy name for someone who operates an espresso machine and assembles espresso drinks. While larger companies like Starbucks may be on the way to replacing the skills of the barista with automatic machines, other independent, smaller cafes and chains have fueled a worldwide movement to dignify and professionalize the job of barista by instituting barista competitions, informal barista "jams," and by the recent establishment of the Barista Guild, now under the auspices of the Specialty Coffee Association of America. These barista competitions not only encourage skill in producing espresso and espresso drinks and an elegance and economy of gesture, but also - and more to the point here - an appreciation of fine and distinctive espresso blends. Those interested in the contemporary barista movement will find information on the Barista Guild at www.scaa.org/related_organizations.asp “

„The Good Housekeeping Institute's Food Appliances department picked their four favorite espresso machines so you can whip up espressos like a barista (Italian for an espresso master) in the comfort of your own home -- without breaking the bank. Each model is pump-powered and produces espresso topped with crema (golden foam, the sign of a great espresso) every time.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„If the Pacific Northwest has become identified with coffee generally, it has become even more identified with espresso. Though the espresso machine and its culture first romanced America via the Italian neighborhoods of New York and San Francisco, it only became fully Americanized in the Northwest in the 1980s. The basic Italian vocabulary of frothed milk, well-brewed espresso and a single dash of unsweetened chocolate powder atop a cappuccino exploded into a baroque extravagance of flavored syrups, an arsenal of various kinds of milk and milk substitutes, whipped cream, ten or twenty options of garnish, and, ultimately, chai, the ingenious adaptation of traditional Asian spiced black tea to the espresso machine.“
