How do you make your first cup of espresso? Experience of Italian coffee course in flower-pulling teaching

Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Last week I attended a free coffee course hosted by Saeco-using a semi-automatic coffee machine to make the first cup of espresso in Joe's life! (the kind of capsule doesn't count as XD)

In addition to making espresso, there is also flower teaching! (and then the consequences are terrible.)

This is not an industrial and commercial time, so you can rest assured to take it.

As early as a month ago when I saw this course website on the Internet. I'm so excited! It's free! Is it greedy for petty and cheap Obasan?

Well, of course, in addition to free courses, the focus is on flower-pulling teaching. Joe really wants to pull a leaf out.

This is the so-called overreach of wanting to fly before learning to run.

Another big point is, coffee lecturer! This young barista, Wu Pingjie, who has won many championships, is going to come to teach.

There is also the title of the most handsome player on the Internet. XD Joe also wants to make sure that he makes coffee. It's really good, OAQ.

There are already Philips cups on the table. We'll need them later.

The Philips coffee machine POEMIA used this time is a semi-automatic coffee machine-- fully automatic is a lazy machine like BUFFET that doesn't care about anything, and semi-automatic is an advanced machine that presses and then has a lot of things to pay attention to. (misdefine XD yourself)

It's made of steel, but it's small, it looks like it's textured--

Straight ahead is an easy-to-understand knob, steam and foam to the right, and coffee to the left. You will need a hot engine, and a row of green lights on the left can clearly show whether the warm-up is ready or not.

The back open is a water tank, which can be picked up directly to add water. The black one is concentrated in a single serving.

Handsome Mr. Wu appeared on the stage-- he brought fresh coffee powder that had just been prepared and ground to the scene. As soon as he opened the bag, the whole aroma was overflowing with XD.

Good fragrance-unrestrained aroma, smell very balanced, less bitter, good look forward to using it to cook!

After a simple explanation, start the actual operation of the coffee machine! However, although it is a simple explanation with limited time, it is finally explained what will affect the flavor of the coffee.

Coffee powder itself does not say, the amount of coffee powder filled, filling pressure, technique, coffee brewing time, water quantity … They are all factors that affect the flavor of coffee.

Oh, my God, a lot.

No wonder it's true that everyone makes different flavors. Jody used to say that there is a difference, but I think it is his psychological role, not all the SOP standard process!

No, it's not.

After talking about his ignorance, the teacher was asking if you were listening.

The teacher said the coffee powder should be like this, and then spread it out.

Double cups down, because this time the quantity is the weight of double shot, probably around 30ml/shot, but depending on the characteristics of coffee beans, there will be some changes.

Only baristas can tell this change. Kerker

Then it's tasting time, first smell the aroma, watch the crema, shake gently so that the beautiful coffee fat on the top layer is mixed with espresso, gently drop out, feel the smell and aroma of it sliding across the tongue and throat, and finally the aftertaste--

Change the actual operation of the students after the teacher's demonstration.

First of all, put the coffee powder on the inside, the act of paving is troubling. Although the individual really wants to blame it all on the size of his hand, Joe's index finger is barely about the same diameter as him, XD.

Anyway,

The teacher said to fill the coffee powder and install the machine, knob and cup.

At first the color was dark coffee.

When it turns light brown and yellow, it is the time to stop the water! This judgment point greatly affects the flavor of coffee-of course, it can be judged by the amount of water, but the personality difference of each bean cannot be treated equally.

After using the handle, knock the coffee grounds into the basin--

Everyone is happy to drink their first cup of espresso-maybe they usually drink more hands, this. It's so thick! With a bright sweet and sour taste, the bitter taste only gently slips through the root of the tongue. It's a bean from a coffee champion--

Then there is the flower-pulling teaching that everyone is looking forward to.

Next to this knob to control steam, POEMIA has attached a lazy person to put a steam pipe XD on, as long as you put the milk into a steel cup, it will automatically dispose of--

However, the teacher said that he would be too Lamar, and this time he was going to teach us to use the steam pipe to get rid of--

Pour the espresso into a large cup, and so on, get ready to make flowers.

The steamed milk is ready in an instant. (Hello

The teacher said that beautifully beaten steamed milk will reflect light-tapping on the table, breaking the air bubble and leaving a dense foam 𫗦 carrying 𫗦 carrying der!

And then there is the flower pull! Act like a stream of water and pull out a little love-it's not difficult!

Free creation time XDDDD again

The teacher carefully instructed the milk bubble ing, the coffee grounds turned black pumpkin-XDDD has a kind of Halloween fu!

One cup is randomly made by the teacher, and the other is the residue of a lifetime of love.

It's really hard to beat the milk foam that you failed at all.

Did not give up and played the second cup, finally made a foam TAT under the guidance of the teacher. Reluctantly pulled an unsuccessful love, and Joe drank XD directly.

Those who can pull flowers are all good milk whine. Although it is said to be born twice, sometimes it is a bit of a talent.

At this time, double-layer love broke out-- exclaimed, this cup of milk is well beaten! XDDDDD

Um... Even if there is no talent, science and technology always come from human nature, there will always be retarded and intelligent types, the mentally retarded type can use smart steamers, and the intelligent type can directly use superb skills to milk the bar.

Give yourself up and give up yeaaaaahzhouqi!

However, this class is really fun-- the teacher is also super kind and handsome XD

The point is that it is really professional! And it is not necessary to play with this Italian semi-automatic coffee machine. In fact, put aside the super with no smart steamer. In addition to the skills of milk foam, other operations are very simple! If there is a budget and a passion for coffee, I think this is a very good machine for beginners.

Be sure to take a picture with the teacher after class-ha XD really learned a lot this time! If you want to play flower pulling again, can you just start with steamed milk? (mistake)

The record of the first coffee classroom above-Yeahfang!
