Barista professional quality barista should have an artistic feeling?

A few days ago, the reporter learned at the 2005 China baristas Competition held in Beijing that there are less than ten real baristas in Beijing, and the market gap is about 5000.

Barista refers to the professional coffee-making service staff who are familiar with coffee culture, production methods and skills. Industry insiders say that in foreign countries, baristas are not only making a cup of coffee, but also creating a coffee culture. With the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games approaching, the detailed service and supporting facilities of various hotels in Beijing are also preparing for the war. Baristas will play another important role in bringing friends from all over the world and China closer.

Development prospects there is a shortfall of 5000 people in Beijing

Qian Jiaying, director of the China Coffee and Coffee Beverage Professional Committee in Beijing, said that there are few real baristas in Beijing hotel cafes, and the current market gap is about 5000 people. Coffee is currently the second largest trade in the world after oil. If every Chinese drinks half a cup of coffee every day, then the Chinese will influence the price of coffee in the world. Coffee has a broad market, which makes the demand of baristas increase steadily.

At present, the average barista's monthly salary is about 2000 yuan. However, it is reported that some baristas with very authentic skills earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. Good baristas usually have many followers, and in some cafes, guests often come to taste the coffee made by a barista.

Professional quality baristas should have an artistic sense

Mr. Deng, the owner of a western food coffee shop in Beijing, pointed out in an interview with reporters that baristas should have relatively high cultural connotations. Because from the coffee itself, it is a very deep connotation of the cultural carrier, only a correct understanding of coffee can have a deeper creativity and play to coffee.

Baristas need to have an artistic sense. A lot of coffee is made by baristas at the moment of artistic inspiration. Experience is very important for a good barista and should be very skillful in practice. A good cup of coffee requires a lot of time.

Baristas should have good taste and visual discrimination. Coffee actually has more than 3000 flavors, but the main flavors are also sour, fragrant, bitter, sweet and mellow. So the barista needs to observe the beans, the powder, the foam and the machine if he wants to make all these flavors in tens of seconds. Master the temperature of the machine, the pressure of water and the proportion of coffee beans, all links should be well coordinated.
