The essential skills of a coffee bar chef the professional skills of a barista

On the question of Qiuqiu struggle, my answer is too many characters to reply in the message, so I have to put it in the blog article.

If you really want to talk about the work of a coffee maker, there will be a lot of work. I'll tell you the main one: first of all, you have to have a wealth of coffee expertise (not the content on the Internet, of course. In fact, a qualified coffee bar chef is actually a coffee expert who should be able to accurately explain all the questions raised by guests about coffee.

Have a very keen sense of coffee beans (this is a bit abstract, mainly to be able to adjust the grinding and filling according to the changes of coffee beans to ensure a consistent taste when using different batches of coffee beans to make coffee.)

Master the daily maintenance and troubleshooting of the coffee machine (half a repairman).

Can correctly hit the milk foam suitable for different kinds of coffee (mainly lattes and cappuccinos, which is a major and difficult technique to master).

Strictly follow the recipe and process to make all kinds of coffee (making a thousand cups of Latte with one flavor looks easy but really hard to make).

Be familiar with the taste and characteristics of all coffee flavoring ingredients, and be able to produce unique coffee varieties by yourself (this requires long hours of work to accumulate experience).

In addition to making coffee, you also need to be able to make other hot and cold drinks such as soda and iced tea, make alcoholic drinks (that is, cocktails), and make coffee shop snacks such as sandwiches, pizza rolls, muffins and salads (half a western chef).

Be familiar with the eating habits of guests from different regions (mainly for foreigners). Of course, it would be best if you can speak English better. And, uh...

I will not say more, this is my understanding of a qualified coffee maker (of course, there are still a lot of coffee makers who can't meet this requirement).

Coffee bar chef is a professional profession, to become a good coffee maker requires strict training and long hours of work experience. In addition, coffee flower is not a necessary skill for a good coffee maker. Taste is the first and only requirement in this industry. No matter how good the coffee is, you have to close the door.

Finally, wipe the floor must be clean, hehe.

I hope my answer will be helpful to you.
