Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)
„ The straight shot is the foundation of every espresso beverage, and it is the most commonly consumed coffee beverage in Italy. The straight shot is the only true way to judge the quality and consistency of a blend of espresso coffee. A good coffee, when extracted as a straight shot, will produce a smooth yet complex taste, providing a satisfying experience. The volume, extraction time, and golden crema (a dense golden brown layer of frothed coffee oils that float on top of a properly extracted espresso) are the keys to good espresso.“

„When we were in Italy for our boy's baptism, we drank espresso every morning made in a little stovetop espresso machine (do a search for a moka brewer). It was great. If you're trying to make a great impression, get one yourself first (they can be under $20 new) and practice a lot.“

Before There Was Tea, There Was Coffee (INeedCoffee.com)
„For almost 100 years, coffee was the hot beverage of choice in England, and, unlike the English family’s tea of the last 200 years, it was not consumed at the breakfast table or indeed at any other time or place in the home. Instead, from about the mid-1600s through the mid-1700s, men (and just about all pictures from the period show only men in coffeehouses) drank their coffee in London’s coffeehouses while they transacted business, discussed politics, and shared literary works in progress. By 1700, there were probably over 2000 coffeehouses in London, or one for every 300 inhabitants.“

I also had the opportunity to visit the factory in Italy and to see the care take over quality in the whole process os transforming coffee into expresso. Their knowledge not only of espresso, but also of all culinary and gastronomic arts, is an excellant indication of the quality of this book.“
