Chef David Lebovitz is in living in Europe for a while, and went to Trieste to learn about espresso from the masters at Illy: Making Perfect Espresso at Illy. It’s a good read, though it does sound like Illy set things up so that they come off as the heroes (see theshot.coffeeratings.com, where I first found the link, for explanation).
I know, I should just turn this into a coffee blog; as JG says, “That Carlson sure does like coffee!”
