The Development Prospect of Chinese Coffee Culture

According to the newly published "sixth batch of sought-after occupations" list, baristas are listed as "fashion occupations with low entry barriers and good blueprints" by many experts. According to reports from CCTV-2, China Talent Network and Sohu, there is a shortfall of 30, 000 baristas a year across the country. Chengdu now has about 700 coffee shops, large and small, and needs at least 3000 coffee workers a year. The survey shows that professional baristas earn between 2000 and 10000 yuan a month, while baristas with extensive skills earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

The profession of barista is very fresh and fashionable, which has aroused the yearning and fascination of people for several years. If you want to become a professional barista, you must start afresh. From the origin of coffee beans, planting, raw beans to the baking skills of cooked beans, and the use of primary coffee utensils, the end is the creative promotion of the highest level.

Professional depiction

The creator of a culture

Baristas refer to the professional coffee-producing staff who are familiar with coffee civilization, building methods and production capacity. Baristas are mainly mixed with coffee production tasks in all kinds of cafes, salons and bars. They not only produce a cup of coffee, but also create a coffee culture. Baristas collect and identify the roots of coffee beans according to the commonness of coffee beans; they can use coffee equipment and coffee utensils to make coffee; they can provide customers with coffee services and spread coffee civilization. Abroad, baristas not only produce a cup of coffee, but also invent a coffee culture.

Essential requirements of employment

To judge whether a barista is qualified in craftsmanship, in addition to savoring the taste of making coffee, it also depends on whether the bean powder can overflow when grinding and pouring coffee beans, and whether the thickness of milk bubbles is permanent. Whether there are bright flowers on the cappuccino coffee, and even whether the posture of the coffee cup is accurate, and so on. In addition, an excellent barista should have the following properties: first, have a good sense of taste and visual discrimination ability to produce coffee with sour, fragrant, bitter, sweet and mellow flavors in dozens of seconds; second, have good guidance on coffee making, and grasp the range of years when making different kinds of coffee. Third, baristas should have the external and artistic sense of civilization, understand the coffee culture of different countries, and how can they have a deeper creativity and promotion of coffee production.

Baristas should have a highly contrasting denotation of civilization. Because from the coffee itself, it is equivalent to a very deep connotation of the carrier of civilization, only a precise understanding of coffee can have a deeper creativity and play.

Tutoring is very important for a good barista and needs to be practiced in practice. The application of a good cup of coffee is particularly high for old age. For example, when making Italian espresso, the delivery date is usually controlled between 20 and 30 seconds. Because in this period of time, the mouth and stomach of coffee is the best shape, if the time is too long, a small piece of caffeine will be the first to precipitate, and caffeine will rise in a straight line for more than 37 seconds. If you want caffeine to precipitate less, baristas have to take extra time.

A coffee maker should have a good ability to distinguish between taste and vision. Coffee actually has more than 3000 flavors, but the main flavors are also sour, fragrant, bitter, sweet and mellow. Therefore, the barista needs to inspect the beans, examine the powder, observe the foam, and understand the machine if he wants to make all these flavors in tens of seconds. Control the temperature of the machine, the pressure of water and the proportion of coffee beans, all the key points should be well coordinated.

Mixed with the efforts of the coffee industry

As world-famous coffee chains have entered Chinese mainland to seize the Chinese market, the coffee industry will face faster progress. The number of coffee professional occasions in many large and medium-sized cities abroad is growing at a rate of about 20% every year, and the development potential of the coffee industry is great, which undoubtedly brings broad prospects for the development of practitioners.

It is understood that the salary of a professional barista ranges from 2000 yuan to 10000 yuan, and the wage difference between a non-professional coffee worker and a professional barista is very different. Some baristas with excellent skills earn more than ten thousand yuan a month. A good barista usually has a lot of servants, and in some cafes, there are often cubs who come to taste the coffee produced by a barista.

Employment prospect

Statistics show that Finland, with a population of 5 million, consumes 1 million packets of coffee a year. China, with a population of 1.3 billion, now consumes only 200000-400000 packets of coffee a year. From this comparison, we can see that the blueprint of China's coffee consumption market is particularly spacious and open-minded.

According to a material from the China Coffee Association, there are 10 genuine baristas in Beijing, and the annual market gap in Beijing is dominated by 5000 people. In large and medium-sized cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen and Fujian, there is a shortfall of 20, 000 a year. With the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games approaching, the demand for baristas in various hotels in Beijing has increased. It is understood that at present, there are more male baristas and fewer female baristas, accounting for about 10% of the total number of employees. Those with a certain education and skilled skills earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.
