what ive learnt about making coffee today #1

much like all things in life, ive learned that coffee is a ever learning process to a perfection where no one apart from god himself can ever achieve. so i strive to create a good cup of coffee which im currently learning to do and i hope by documenting my learning experience via a impersonal online diary can help with my journey somehow...

wish i could have started this at the beginning of my epic coffee saga but hey three weeks barista experience is close enough to the start.

what ive learned today
theres a button awkwardly placed inside the automatic espresso machine which resets the preprogramed buttons that makes the water come out of the filter.

texture milk with your ears.

60 degrees celsius has a distinct sound.

pouring the textured milk slowly into the espresso shot raises crema which retains the beautiful rich brown colour.

i still cant make a good rosetta.

I love that you're blogging what you learn! I totally agree. I learn new things about espresso every day. But to me it's never enough. I'm constantly trying to learn more and better my barista skills. I do okay when it comes to latte art and I do love it, but I enjoy pulling good shots and steaming milk more
