Virtual Coffee: How to Choose Your Barista (#)
„How long is the brewing time of the espresso? If the grind has been adjusted correctly, then the time that it takes an espresso (about an ounce to 1 1/2 ounces of beverage) to brew after the machine's pump is started should be no less than 20 seconds and no more than 30 seconds. If it comes out faster, then the grind was too course, and if it comes out slower, then the grind was too fine. A good barista will constantly be adjusting the grind to make sure that the extraction time is proper.“

CoffeeGeek - Engineered Perfection in Espresso
„The expertise of the barista and the quality of the espresso blend have all been frustrated by espresso machines that do not offer a stable brewing water temperature, until now. For me, the creation of this machine marks the beginning of caffe espresso as a culinary art.“

„having made a few toddy coffees in my time, i'd suggest using a coarser ground than espresso grind. i've always been told the longer the brewing time, the coarser the grind. you mentioned seattle's best (now owned by starbucks...eeek)- their best-selling drink is a Naughty Toddy, Gloria Jean's is a Hotty Toddy- all use Toddy's process. i've asked managers at both places, and they use a medium roast, coarse grind- sorta like what you would use in an old fashioned percolator.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„To those whose only coffee-making experience has been with brewing methods other than espresso, the remarks below concerning the importance of the correct grind in espresso will doubtless sound like the mutterings of a French omelet cook, even an obsessive French omelet cook. So be it, because grinding the coffee may be the single most important act in the entire sequence of espresso brewing events.“
