Many new baristas in this small coffee circle do not know how to pick up learning coffee in a clear order. So that at first everyone will be at a loss, walk to the bar, there is no way to start. Today, let's sum up how novice baristas can learn to make coffee more helpful to themselves.

Of course, first of all, you should have a warm heart to learn coffee and keep discovering what is interesting. The baristas must develop a few habits that will help you learn better.

First, it's a circular routine: the more coffee you drink, the better coffee you make, and the more coffee you need to drink. When tasting coffee, they can easily think of various flavors and naturally know how to describe the flavor and taste of a novel coffee. This is the advantage of eating more, drinking more and tasting more. As a barista, I know exactly what it means to add sugar and milk to a cup of coffee-sugar can mask the original flavor of the coffee, and milk can completely change the original taste of the coffee.

A good cup of coffee should have its own unique aroma, pleasant sweetness and acidity, and charming mellow finish. The only way to understand this feeling is to taste it, to taste it again and again. Grinding, cup testing, and formula development are all done by feeling the taste and aroma, and measuring instruments, standard proportions and formula formulas can really help us a lot. But these things will never give you the most perfect answer and the most authentic sensory enjoyment.

Second, a clean workspace. Keeping the space clean and tidy is what every barista must do. to yourself, you can clearly know the placement of coffee utensils, cleanliness, and ease of work. For guests, entering a coffee shop is a purposeful act, and the guests come in to drink coffee or buy beans. Quality is not only their goal, but the comfortable environment of the coffee shop is also a great advantage. So keeping clean and tidy is also an essential duty of baristas.

Third, understand teamwork. A good teamwork will have a great advantage for coffee shops, no matter in which aspects, the team has its own way of assigning work to be done in an orderly manner.

Fourth, share your enthusiasm for your work and make your colleagues good friends. What you have learned should be shared with others, as well as guests and colleagues.

Enjoy coffee and delicious food, maintain personal hygiene, get into the habit of learning and sharing, and communicate and cooperate with your colleagues more. Believe in yourself and you will become a successful professional barista.
