I am afraid that he either has math problems or is exaggerating to make his point.<br /><br />And yes - he has a "rigid formula". That's a large part of the problem here.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07259964812670851159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626015.post-26633093250024536742010-06-03T08:32:50.246-07:002010-06-03T08:32:50.246-07:00A minor point, but when he said "But some bar...A minor point, but when he said "But some baristas prefer making double espressos with more than twice the amount of coffee", I think he means more than twice the amount appropriate for a single.<br /><br />Everything this guy says is based on a rigid formula.jeremybbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070141021842601422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626015.post-30547225483787081182010-06-03T02:30:30.061-07:002010-06-03T02:30:30.061-07:00Great post Chris.

Every single espresso is different, so one would have to discect each one in order to argue the pros and cons.<br /><br />But hey, this is why we can have a competition in preparing espresso drinks.Tim Wendelboehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361056169324925523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626015.post-19684650475402765472010-06-03T00:26:02.223-07:002010-06-03T00:26:02.223-07:00Illy has made a science out of producing drinkable...Illy has made a science out of producing drinkable espresso. While there are many interesting espressos in the US that are more than just drinkable.. the norm is a bit disappointing. And as long as espresso is more an ingredient than a final product I think it's a much tougher battle than improving the general public's experience and perception of drip filter coffees. You might as well try to tell a certain Italian that different is not wrong<br /><br />Chris - you're lucky enough to be stuck in a world where drinkable=uninteresting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
