It really is about technical experience, but you can only appreciate and learn that if you have passion. I know a whole lotta people passionate about coffee but have no idea how to pull a shot of espresso... just some food for thought... I have NEVER had a good espresso from Sbux, Peet's or It's a Grind, so... I hope that you can hone in your skills and prove me wrong.<br />
