As for Schultz, he knows what people want (that's why he was able to start Starbucks), I agree with you..that guy seems to "get it."<BR/><BR/>@ollie mckay's<BR/><BR/>We will have to find out if it will make a big difference. I do hope the machine helps and with the personal touch of the baristas, it can get better. As for the coffee, please tell me once you've tried it if it makes a difference. As for now, all I can do is watch on video how nice that machine looks.<BR/><BR/>Have a great week everyone!:)Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099317748399106687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442855941184395572.post-37867802467954205382008-07-26T07:36:00.000-07:002008-07-26T07:36:00.000-07:00Would love to know if this machine will actually m...Would love to know if this machine will actually make that big of a difference in an awesome cup of coffee??!! I agree, think the person making the coffee is the most important! I love Starbucks, but some days ~ definetly the coffee is better than others, depending on whose working that day. . . .So . . . .???

The things about Schultz is the he seems to "get it." He seems to love coffee and understand that people connection. When he sent that internal memo last year bemoaning the changes to the company, he set a lot of key things in motion.Cromelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220177112637075263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442855941184395572.post-71089371242219428962008-07-25T23:43:00.000-07:002008-07-25T23:43:00.000-07:00@Christina and kirhatI agree with you both that it...@Christina and kirhat<BR/><BR/>I agree with you both that it has to be the barista/person to be able create great coffee. The machine can't do it alone especially with a lot of people wanting to customize their drink. The human touch will be very important here. But I'd love to have that coffee machine in my kitchen..:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316500455259096706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442855941184395572.post-12120266673141334272008-07-24T18:29:00.000-07:002008-07-24T18:29:00.000-07:00No matter how complicated and hi-tech the equipmen...No matter how complicated and hi-tech the equipment that they will be using , the bottom-line is that a good coffee still depends on the person making it. The human factor is still a big plus for many genuine coffee-lovers.Kirhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380120534869019414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442855941184395572.post-11753852072668552542008-07-24T06:38:00.000-07:002008-07-24T06:38:00.000-07:00I think when starbucks put in that last round of e...I think when starbucks put in that last round of espresso machines that were all automatic, that is when they went down hill. All coffee is not the same. The good barista needs to be able to control factors that go into an espresso!
