How to be a good barista
When we go to a cafe and see the baristas making cool pull flowers with coffee, we exclaim: wow, great baristas! How could he be so outstanding!
This is probably the definition of a good barista by most guests. Is it possible to use a cup of coffee to pull out a beautiful flower pattern, and you can be called a good barista? Of course not.
Good barista covers so much ground that we need to redefine the word "excellent." Before this, Xiaobian thinks it is necessary to discuss how to become a qualified barista. In Europe and America, baristas are very cool and popular occupations. We can always see cool baristas with various totems on some websites or magazines that introduce coffee. Pulling up flowers is a real feeling and a fan! I believe that many young people are more and more willing to devote themselves to the career of barista, which is also related to the fact that coffee is very stylish. However, many people may not really understand the hard work and hardship behind the career of barista.
Since the work done every day is related to coffee and the sale of drinks related to food hygiene and safety, the personal hygiene and health status of baristas cannot be ignored. All these are prerequisites for you to become a barista first.
Usually you buy a cup of coffee may only need to wait for a few minutes in the cafe, but what you don't know is that within these minutes, the barista has to do the adjustment of the machine, the grinding of coffee beans, the mastery of the pressure of coffee powder, the flow rate and time control of coffee extraction by coffee machine, the requirements of milk foam thickness, the matching of production forms and the cleaning of the finished coffee machine and bar.
These few minutes of a series of behavior movements are after a long period of training can really master, if we only split this series of explanations and training one by one, but also need to spend a lot of time and energy, let alone to master all, and these are only to become a qualified barista basic quality, of course, this does not include baristas at least 8 hours a day to stand continuously work, continuous shift work will even make them lack of rest. In addition, barista personal appearance, speech and behavior will also affect whether they are "qualified" standards.
With the above basic qualities, it can only be called a qualified barista. These may be a hundred thousand miles away from excellence. It is possible to bring these basic work and personal qualities into full play, to have high requirements for details, products, hygiene, even to achieve a kind of paranoia, to make the love of coffee an indispensable part of life, but also to be able to take care of people and things, etc. All these can be compared with becoming a good barista.
In addition to the above, the most important quality of a good barista should be "sharing".
Yeah, share. Accurately pass on the coffee information you know, actively promote coffee culture, cultivate people's interest in coffee, and let more people become dedicated, rigorous, and passionate coffee believers like them.
