17 Year old Azza Kindred, Competition Barista for Oomph! Coffee, Tasmania Australia shows us a glimpse of a day in the life of an Australian barista.

I am considering buying an espresso machine for my dorm room next year, yes my dorm room. My college’s coffee shop is disgusting. They use pre-ground Folgers for the espresso, among many other things. I’ve been a barista for two years and know the difference between a really good latte and one that tastes like mud, so quality is important to me.

What is a good, relatively inexpensive (less than 0) espresso machine with a steaming wand that I could buy?

It has metal blades that rotate quickly, similar to a food processor. Blade grinders are the most common type of grinder and are usually inexpensive. Common problems with a blade grinder are an uneven grind and exposing the beans to excessive heat. Both problems can affect the taste of the coffee. You can control both the grind size and the length of time needed to grind the beans, which are what cause the heat to build up, by grinding smaller quantities at a time. * Burr Grinders: These use a grinding wheel to crush the beans. The positioning on the burr regulates the ground size, allowing for a more consistent grind. Beans only pass through the grinder once, minimizing heat. Selecting a Coffee Maker You may already own a coffee maker that you’re happy with, in which case you can skip this section. In your quest for the perfect cup, however, you may be wondering about the things you should look for in coffee makers. Some of the features that are heavily advertised by manufacturers—modern styling, contemporary colors, programmable timers, the ability to pause brewing and digital controls—have little to do with the quality of the coffee that’s produced. Here are a few things that are important when selecting a coffee maker: * Brew Temperature: Coffee is most successfully extracted from the beans with water slightly under boiling …

Opname in HD 1080p Espresso maken met ESE Servings Pod (pad) mbv de Quickmill 810. Opgeschuimde melk wordt gemaakt met de Severin 9684 melkopschuimer. De Quickmill kan ik ook gebruiken voor losse koffie (820) maar mijn voorkeur gaat uit naar de Espresso Pods (pads). Koffie is goed en de keuze uit pods is zeer groot. Bovendien werkt het snel en schoon. ESE=Easy Serving Espresso Filmpje is gemaakt met de Canon PowerShot SX220 HS.

I frequently go to Starbucks and I love getting a tall Chai Tea Latte or Frappuccino, and i always get it non-fat and no whip cream to make it a bit healthier. My question is, is there a sugar-free syrup for Chai Tea products at Starbucks that can save me from lots of sugar intake?

PS. If you ask for a "skinny" drink which is non-fat milk and sugar-free syrup, the barista would understand what that means right?

Thanks

I am seriously considering buying my own mobile espresso cart. I have been a barista for about 4 years and have mad coffee making skills and have started thinking I should just work for myself. I have no business skills though and am just wandering If anyone has any experience in this and if its worth it, and what kind of permits do I need? I don’t really want to make stacks of money, I just want to be comfortable I just don’t want to be swimming in debt. Any advise would be great

A demo of the Estro Vapore Professional Home Espresso machine, sold by Starbucks as the Barista.

my main character, 12 year old Saylor, and her mom’s fiance Matthew, are together in a coffee shop. They both dislike each other, but Saylor hates him with all her heart. "She" is referring to Saylor.

She recalled the drive from her home to Bluwater Wharf. Matthew sat stiffly in the driver’s seat, barely paying attention to the road. Saylor was in the backseat, staring blankly out the window. Her suitcase, purse and duffel bag remained next to her, but she didn’t touch them. Matthew didn’t utter a word to her for the entire eight hours. In fact, he barely moved except to slam on the brakes, shift the gears or turn the steering wheel. The exception came an hour into the drive when Saylor’s mom called and he immediately pulled over in a parking lot to answer her. They chatted away for twenty minutes, until apparently she asked to talk to Saylor because Matthew handed his cell phone over to her with a look of disdain. Saylor tried to explain once again that she felt strongly against spending her summer in Bluwater, begging to come back home while she was still close enough. However, her mom took over the conversation like always and threw all of Saylor’s reasons back at her, explaining that it would all work out. Then the battery died, Matthew shot Saylor more disgusted looks as if it were her fault, and the car swerved back onto the freeway.
They stopped for dinner at a roadside coffee shop. Until then Saylor had considered coffee shops for breakfast only, but she was hungry and didn’t object. Matthew ordered an espresso with two shots of hazelnut syrup. Saylor stood in line with him, but he didn’t offer to buy anything for her. A barista in a black visor and striped apron asked what she wanted. The menu selection was so overwhelming that she randomly chose hot chocolate and a bagel, laying out a few wrinkled bills. She carried her food over to one of the counter stools and ate in silence, stealing glances at Matthew sipping his drink and tapping away on his laptop across the room. Saylor ignored the chatter and laughter of the other customers. She made as much noise as possible leaving the shop, hoping Matthew would notice, but he didn’t even look up.
She waited outside for half an hour before she realized what Matthew was doing. Glimpsing through the window, she saw him sprawled out in an armchair, mindlessly watching online videos with his laptop balanced on his knees. Next to him was an empty cup.
At the moment, Saylor was too frustrated to think twice. She sprinted down the corner, pushed past several people and banged open the coffee shop doors. The bell jangled noisily as the doors slammed shut behind her. Strutting boldly past the customers who gaped in annoyance, Saylor confronted Matthew. “Can we go?” she demanded.
He continued clicking for several minutes, then looked up. “Last I checked,” he muttered, “you weren’t driving.”
“You can’t keep me here all night,” she retorted.
He went back to his computer then, and she made a few spiteful remarks just to see if he’d say anything back. He didn’t. She stood firm, casting a shadow over him, but he completely shut her out. Minutes passed, but to Saylor they might as well have been hours. Every second she waited drained her of another ounce of self-discipline, until she couldn’t stand it any longer. Her knees ached and her ankles throbbed from being pressed into the floor. Taking a step forward, she pounded the return button on Matthew’s laptop, snapped it shut and tucked it under her arm. That was guaranteed to get a rise out of him, so he’d have to respond to her. A satisfied smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she walked toward the door. I’ve won this game, finally! Scream and shout at me all you want, because that means you won’t be ignoring me anymore. The louder and longer, the better. You heard me right, Matthew, I’ll be enjoying this!
To her dismay, he didn’t scream or shout or even open his mouth. Nor did he give her the dirty looks she’d come to expect from him. He merely took his laptop from her and headed straight out the door, for the car. She followed him, fuming, ready to throw a punch the second he turned his back. She didn’t, but she did sit down in the passenger seat. His reaction was to turn on the engine and back out of the parking stall, glancing occasionally at the rearview mirror but never at Saylor.
