Mano dell'operatore - the hands of the Barista, the final ingredient
Barista's are held in high regard in some parts of the world. Their creations are savoured by regular patrons to the establishment. Coffee extracted by another barista using the same beans, the same grinder and the same machine can taste and feel dramatically different. A great barista will not only use sight but they will use touch to guide them in search of the perfect extraction.
Manutenzione - not an optional extra
Keeping your Grinder, Machine, Tamper, Portafilter, Milk Jugs and essential equipment in not only a serviceable but 'always ready' condition should not be an afterthought, it should form part of your routine.
