      So, Im assuming most of you guys work as baristas. I'm interested is working in this position for 2 reasons. One, Im tired of working as a busser, dishwaser, and I suck at being a server. Two, I have a passion for making coffee. With that in mind? What is the hardest part of being a barista? Any advice? In your opinion, what makes a good barista? What qualities help you be a good barista?

    • @stefanfatu7889
      @stefanfatu7889 6 років тому

      That is not good coffee to be honest.. he overheats the milk.. the temperature should be 60-65 degrees celsius and the coffee extraction temperature should be 90 degrees celsius.. they are pretty but I’m sure it tastes burnt.. plus you would probably have to eait 3 mins so you can take a sip.. educate yourself in the matter and you’ll know what I’m talking about.. very passionate nonetheless and very steady hands 😉 I’ll give him that for sure

    • @stefanfatu7889
      @stefanfatu7889 6 років тому +1

      Also he just made it for video purpose so the taste doesn’t matter.. when I want to make a super preety one I do the same thing because if you steam the milk more it’s easier to achieve a good texture 😉

    • @russhoward3037
      @russhoward3037 5 років тому +8

      Stefan Fatu Dude, you have no idea to what temperature he steamed the milk. His steam wand is automatic like most modern espresso bars, along with the shot pulling time and temp. They look fantastic quality to me, a professional barista, but maybe not to the untrained eye and obnoxious mind of yourself.

    • @JacobJonesy
      @JacobJonesy 5 років тому +5

      @@russhoward3037 his steam wand is obviously manual, in fact the whole machine is fully manual, you can see it's on a multi-turn knob, there is a lot of his technique that sacrifices quality for speed. Also he wastes a lot of milk by throwing away the poorly incorporated air. That being said he is very consistent and his pours are great.
      Also I don't think he's overheating the milk, he's just not monitoring it by gauge or touch. Maybe he's going by sound, totally doable. This guy would kill it in a restaurant or a french or italian cafe. Specialty third wave cafes would frown on his techniques but that's not where he works. He's doing a fantastic job for what he's doing.

    I've just started my work as a barista for a few days now after some unpaid internship in a coffee shop hehe. In the very beginning of the video I was like "wtf he's gonna overheat the milk and there will be no decent latte art". But you sir proved me a fool that has yet much to learn from a professional like you. Also, it's always heartwarming to see someone passionate about their job.

    • @makushe4ka
      @makushe4ka 5 років тому +6

      practice your timings. some teacher told me that you can do something more while you heat the coffe. for example you can do few espresso in same time (wow really?). it's like learn to juggling but you start from one and add few more things + to first. so non stop juggling is what you should go to.

    • @Flufferz626
      @Flufferz626 5 років тому +6

      If you're taking more than a minute for an espresso beverage, your shots die (aka get nasty and lose crema) and your milk separates and doesn't form consistent texture.
      Steam the milk first (as he does in this video) then while it does that, pour the shots. Shots should only take about 25-30 sec to pour for hand machines, 18-23 for mechanical ones like Starbucks.
      You'll get the hang of it with repetition and then be able to do even more =)

    I’ve been a barista for a couple months now. It wasn’t until lately that I’ve been focusing more on making better milk and trying to make latte art. All ours are to go, so it doesn’t really matter, but I still want to try. Mine is god awful though! But my milk has gotten better, so that’s a step in the right direction. This is amazing. So many at once, and they’re all stunning!

    Apasionada del café y de saber cómo es su cuerpo aroma y poder distinguirlos !!! De hecho en mi hogar los preparo todos los días en el desayuno diferentes clases!

    Very nice! Why do you mix different milk jugs together? To keep the temperature the same among different cups?

      If steamed milk sits too long there will be too much foam at the top of the pitcher to be able to make latte art, so it's best to keep the milk moving!
