Useful Information
Thankfully, the landscape of coffee and espresso continues to grow in the United States. Today there are several reputable resources for learning, well-established trade organizations, barista competitions, forums and vertical portals. Compared to just one decade ago, the resources seem limitless. Deciding where to begin can be a daunting task. It's our hope to help hammer out a few of the basics. Our Espresso Terminology is by no means the most exhaustive and authoritative list of terms you may encounter. It's simply a starting place to begin learning. We hope you find it useful. The same can be said for Coffee Grinder Basics, Tamping Basics and Making Better Espresso. You'll find other useful information in our growing Resources section. At times, we will also direct customers to articles, videos and reviews that are published elsewhere. We see the quest for better espresso as an unending journey. A better espresso is always one shot away. Don't hesitate to share your knowledge or expertise with us. We'd love to hear from you and we enjoy this journey immensely.
