Barista training
We attended a Basic Barista Training course last saturday to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday. It was run by I guy who is an espresso machine technician - who also roasts his own beans. Check him out here, his name is Jason and he is a champion.
Anyway, I learnt a lot. Like, the value of a really awesome grinder and what I had been doing wrong in texturing my milk. We got to work on some pretty awesome machines too!
I think Dad really enjoyed himself - he was chatting with Jason for ages. Hopefully I won't be designated barista next time i go around there!
Gotta get back on the ECM at home and practice, practice, practice!

the question is: coffee flavoured poo or poo flavoured coffee?
I can safely say I have had a lot of poo flavoured coffee in my time...
I probably did a coffee flavoured poo on saturday afternoon!
Did you make that one Guthers? Nice.
ummm... sure!
Barista training! Wow, you really are serious about this whole coffe thing, aren't you Guthers? I'd love to do a course like that. But I don't have a coffee machine so not much point.
Hey, our church no longer just serves instant coffee! A coffee machine has appeared, but I'm afraid it's not an espresso machine, rather perculated coffee. Hhhhmmm... still a long way to go ....
you should definitely look into buying a coffee machine andy - it takes the appreciation (snobbery) to a whole new level!
if you're interested in a course - I went to a toby's estate coffee tasting course for my last bday that was pretty awesome. There is a post in here somewhere about that
I have a minis expresso machine - but not fancy like Sam's - where did you guys go for the training?
It was a workshop in Balgowlah. It was run by a guy who is a espresso machine technichian...
Check him out - he is an absolute champ... Has his own roast too.
