  • Had a fun day today and thought I'd share it with you guys! I work at a bunch of different cafes across London so let me know if you want to see more...
    The espresso recipe for my cafe just changed! We got a new El Salvador espresso in which is dosing out best at 19g in.

    The taking-coffee-down-stairs part is nerve wracking. Other than that, cool chill vid. If I lived in London I'd definitely pop by, the food looks delicious.

    Love saving the bean for later haha. That iced long black looked delicious. That was my trend when I worked at Starbucks back in the day was I would make americanos upside down and one day a customer told me that is how they drink it in Aussie. Amazing. Great video dude! The science behind the espresso and soy milk is so fascinating. Perhaps the adding of cool milk chills the spro slightly, as to not overheat the soy milk. Very cool trick!!!

I was a barista at 3 different stores here in the US, one in Franklin, TN, one in Berkeley, CA and another in Nashville, TN. I HATED it. I'm not working in coffee anymore. Best of luck to you!

    The soymilk thing: If it's anything like cooking and using eggs in some dough stuff I've seen, you gotta temper them. Pour the milk in slowly to not cook the eggs, and raise the temp slowly.
    I wonder if it's going the opposite way here: A bit of colder soy milk to lower the temperature overall, and then the steamed milk to not curdle? Hell if I know what I'm talking about, but the process _seems_ similar.

    It's caffè* latte. Latte is just milk, not a coffee beverage. It's an Italian word often used incorrectly. It comes from the Latin word "lac" as in "lactose". That's why "milk" looks similar in most Romance Languages: latte, leche, lait, leite, etc.
