What does it take to be a barista? What does the barista do besides making coffee?

Browse moments in the middle of the night

Always brush to the "soul torture" from the heart of those lovely coffee people around you:

"what is the mysterious force that controls me to wash cups all the time?"

"the point is that even if I can't finish it, I still feel very happy!"

I guess everyone will have a good expectation of going into a career.

And becoming a cool barista should be a career that many people have imagined (hands up for friends who have thought about it)

Fantasize about being immersed in music in a slim apron

Smelling coffee, listening to jazz music, exuberant in the crowd, meticulously making coffee, flower drawing, the figure is handsome and charming.

On weekdays, you can also have the opportunity to go to the coffee producing areas for in-depth study, and you can rest at any time when you are in bad condition.

OK,STOP.

Wake up, my friend.

In reality

One of the first things a competent barista has to face

It's an endless cup.

Yes, they will never be finished.

As the saying goes: when you stare at the cup, the cup is also staring at you.

After the hustle and bustle, the barista stared at the cup in the sink:

The cup of latte, the cup of Cabo, the cup of single drink, the cup of sparkling water,

A cake plate, sandwich plate, light food plate.

After washing, you have to separate them and put them away.

After all the waiting has been sterilized

And you need to take them out one by one and list them neatly on the coffee machine.

To keep the cup warm.

What does the barista do when he doesn't wash the cup?

It's 2091 (you read it right, it's 2091), and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth.

When the barista doesn't wash the cup, ta needs to do a hundred more things.

For example:

Wash toilets, clean windows, sweep the floor, use brooms wherever you go, three bags in front of the door, and the door of the cafe should be cleaned.

-- different dishcloth is used in different places. How to disinfect the finished rag?

Constantly do cup tests, record and summarize each test, and improve the awareness of coffee flavor

-- take care of animals and plants inside and outside the store

-- use "mistress" to practice flower drawing, watch more videos, use more brains, and improve the artistic creation and innovation ability of milk coffee.

-- improve the ability to distinguish the smell, taste and vision of coffee

Understand the performance of coffee machines and bean grinders in use, and know a little about maintenance

Occasionally act as the "poster / menu designer".

Anyway, as a competent barista,

You have to face a lot of complex and different faces every day.

In addition to accurate production, we also need to learn to manage emotions.

Welcome patiently & answer every guest's question.

Secretly tell everyone to get busy in the cafe

Most of the time, there is no time to drink a glass of water or go to the bathroom.

But even so, it can not erase our love for this cause as baristas! Yeah!

Coffee has abused me thousands of times, and I treat coffee like my first love!

And just now, I scanned the moments from the barista who sent the soul torture, and he said:

"although I can't get rid of that mysterious power, I can still maintain a positive attitude and make coffee with my colleagues every day.

Washing cups happily! I can feel that everyone is enjoying the beautiful career of barista with the same coffee dream. "
