  • If you enjoy coffee, this talk will give you a deeper appreciation for all that goes into a great espresso experience. Follow this tantalizing story of how to tease delicate fragrances and complex flavors from coffee into your cup. Through painstaking effort and the science of accurate temperature measurement and years of experimentation, espresso has evolved into a delicious as well as precision culinary art.
    David Schomer is the founder of Seattle’s Espresso Vivace, a Seattle area coffee shop and roaster known for its high quality of coffee and roasting practices. Schomer is known within the coffee industry for his innovations, such as how he customizes his grinders and espresso machines to achieve a more constant water temperature, which ultimately leads to a better cup of coffee. Barista and coffee bar owners have traveled to Seattle from as far away as Australia and the UAE to learn from him. He is also credited with developing and popularizing latte art in the US. In 1995, he wrote “Espresso Coffee: Professional Techniques,” and later an updated version “Espresso Coffee 2013.” He has also produced a video course entitled “Caffe Latte Art.”

    I was at this event. It was definitely one of the better talks. Personally, I don't give two shits about coffee, but if that's all you take from this talk, you're missing the point. What I learned is how you can take something you're passionate about, anything, and freaking perfect it. Most people only pursue their interests or business ideas on a superficial level, never breaking it down into its components and perfecting it piece by piece. This guy showed what can happen when that is done. Bravo.

      Absolutely right on - there is a lesson that coffee teaches us though - we are surrounded by mediocrity. Imagine if our baker, butcher, car mechanic, teacher all took this approach to "how can I do it better" (and some of them do) what a world we could have.

  • @gregarioussolitudinist5695

    as the coffee cools, your taste buds are able to taste more of the beverage while not being scorched. The coffee is not improving as it cools.

      Schomer's espresso is a palatable temp when it is served. It's mostly crema, not watery at all. Like warm honey but a little bit thinner.

      You get a very metallic empty cup. The minerals in water are necessary to bond with the choice to eccentuate the flavour. Like adding salt to your eggs.
