Jolta Java

May 6, 2008Posted by Chris Tingom

I visited Jolta Java the other day and had a latte. I really like the atmosphere of Jolta Java, but found my latte leaving a lot to be desired. The foam just wasn’t right. Hope next time it’s better.

Here is a 20 second video clip I took:

I posted about Kitchen Nightmares a few weeks ago. But wanted to post again to let you all know you can watch the episodes for free online. I think if you own a coffee shop or a restaurant, you could learn a lot by watching.

Ritual

April 21, 2007Posted by Chris Tingom

On Wednesday I visited Ritual Coffee in San Francisco. The first thing I noticed about Ritual was the long line out the door. I’ve never seen a line out the door at a coffee shop before.
I decided to go for a latte. We were short on time so we all ordered cups to-go (and then […]

Interview with Bill from Espresso Wrench

January 10, 2007Posted by Chris Tingom

While in Tucson for the Arizona Barista Jam I took some time to talk with Bill from Espresso Wrench. My video interview ends rather abruptly because my camera ran out of space. It’s still a good interview, and Bill’s experience at espresso machine repair and maintenance shines through. Espresso Wrench would be a good asset […]
