Hello all! I want to recommend a site to visit for really fantastic info about all things espresso. First of all, the site is for a superb cafe in, where else, Seattle! It's called Vivace Espresso, and its owner and founder is a really neat guy named David Schomer. I had the pleasure of being sent there by my cafe (an all expenses paid vacation, if you can believe it!)along with the other coffee trainer to take Schomer's intensive three day espresso course. The class was extremely in-depth and I benefited greatly from it. The cost of the trip was a little much, and I'm very greatful to come from a cafe that so believes in cultivating vast coffee knowledge in its workers that it paid for the whole trip.
You don't have to take the course to get all of Schomer's tips and secrets. Go to vivaceespresso.com, I think. Or just Google "Vivace," b/c I'm not entirely sure that's the right address. Anyway, you can see photos of beautiful latte art, read about the cafe, get some poetic versing on the perfect shot of espresso, and you can order a copy of one of Schomer's three books. I have, and love, his book on professional espresso techniques because it covers everything from espresso theory- why it tastes so good, where it comes from, etc.- to machine maintainnence to ltte art.
So check out the site if you have the time!!
