Espresso Training

This guy seems to have found it pretty tough - I'm not sure it's all that hard... I think he's just dramatic for the sake of the article! Was thinking today how much I'd love a Barista job again - it's heaps of fun, but I don't think I'll ever go back!

I made this coffee a few months ago after seeing a guy at Mecca make a leaf and heart at the same time. I'm working on it - will put up a photo of my progress soon. Am starting to get the hang of the double rosetta...

I think it was a very poorly written article.

We're doing a coffee training course this saturday morning to celebrate my old man's 60th.

I really need to brush up the skills - a rushed latte every morning isn't the ideal practice.

The crema looks a bit pale Sambo. I'll look forward to the progressive shots. I reckon the one you did the other week was better.

Yeah we have a little expresso machine - not fancy like yours but it does the job. How about an Expresso lesson in exchange for a dinner at ours??? You and your lovely new wife, not that you have an old wife ;) can come for dinner??
