Hi! Dritan Alsela, I watch your coffee training and it gives me some idea on how to make Art on coffee espresso. It amazing.

It's always a pleasure to watch a professional do their job so well, so efficiently and still looking happy. Bravo Dritan!

[@nickgeorgiakakis7249]

I just attended a Barista trainig course today and came across this video while looking for inspiration and further instruction. Well done, truly mesmorising watching experts in their field. I would be more than happy if one day i had half the skills that you have shown us here.

[@dritanalsela]

Thanks so much Nick! Really appreciate your kind feedback! In the end it's all just a matter of practice. I'm sure you can get there too easily! ;-) Hope you enjoyed your Barista course! Take care

It doesn’t make sense though. If its for training purposes why not explain and make a few coffees slowly rather than run making 20 as if you’re in corporate rush hour at starbucks...

I'm so glad I found your Barista Tutorials. I've loved watching them and learning the basics of latté art. Thank you for sharing your techniques and awesome skills! Inspiring!

Thanks Chrissy! I really appreciate you comment :-) This is what really motivates me to Keep on going :-)

[@MaxxerG]

Outstanding talent! From an orthopedic point of view, I would recommand to lower your coffee machine a little bit or work on an elevated floor platform because over 40 years old, repetitive abduction of the shoulder over 60 degrees can lead to shoulder bursitis and repetitive abduction or flexion of the shoulder above 90 degrees can lead to rotator cuff tear. Particularly the supraspinatus. I would recommend putting 10 cm stools on the floor so you work with your shoulders a bit lowered. Very talented barista. Now I feel like getting some of those coffees this morning. Great work!!

[@dritanalsela]

Hey Max ! Wow ! Thanks so much for your comment. I truly appreciate it 🙏 I made a screen shot and will definitely keep it in mind when rebuilding my place 😄 Again, big thanks! You might have safes my shoulders 😄🙏

For all those that are confused. I think it's HIM training for the latte art.

[@dilyanbachvarov4927]

I've been into the bartending branch for a while now, but working in a resort cocktail-lounge has actually kept me from having any idea on what is a good espresso or how to make a great cappuccino/latte art. Or in short, I had no idea about hot drinks. Until I recently started working in a café in the centrum of the city I live in. I'm learning really quick how to make various Rosettas and a big part of this is thanks to you. I appreciate your work and professionalism. Keep it up. But I have one question, why do you periodically pour some of the milk from one of the pitchers to another one? Does it have something to do with sustaining the foam? Or you do it to make it less thick? Thanks in advance!

[@MickATL]

You are a machine! I've had my espresso machine for 3 years and make delicious drinks but latte art escapes me. I'm hoping to learn from these amazing videos. Please keep them coming.

[@dritanalsela]

[@frederikblom]

Is there a way of heating up the cup first?

[@dkrausesd]

My first Barista art lesson. Watching from Carlsbad, ca.

[@jordanclarke1680]

is it necessary to clear where the portafilter goes in each time before you pull the next shot? I notice you do that here. What about automated machines? I have a lot of questions. Starting up a coffee trailer business. Was a barista for 8 years but you can always learn from others. Thanks!

[@dritanalsela]

Hey Jordan, exciting plan you have there! 😊 wishing you all the best. Well, actually yes - you should clean each time as the residues ruin the taste of your next cup and make it bitter. So I just made it a habit of mine to clean each time. ✌️ just ask as mans questions as you want 😊

[@beaniegirl12cb]

Jordan Clarke, it doesn't hurt to periodically flush your heads either, to make sure there aren't any grounds stuck in there :)

[@luklucky2269]

Nice barista training. So nice of you. I slow remember went to barista basic course last week but i can't remember nice for i can see you here to make i can learn more. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

[@hiyou8823]

i know this is an old video but i just like to say, as a barista my self once you get a pattern , you can make coffee for at least 10 hours( with a small 15 min break of eating/drinking) , the important thing to remember is the making of the foam and keeping it well united to get that creamy texture , the shape making comes with exp, the right tilt and control of the Milk jug comes with good hand coordination , and that's about it for the most part, my motto is "Keep Focus And Have Fun" ;D p.s. the clear note that this is only for practice is that you don't get costumers close to you, (for TA) baristas don't just make coffee, they make shakes and a bunch of other ingredients evolving them ( does not have to include alcohol beverages) also in the cakes department of art as well ;D

[@cameronfreer4267]

Dritan you inspire me to become a better barista. I am glad you brought out this machine. It has been a while

[@dritanalsela]

Hi Cameron, thanks so much for your kind feedback! Really appreciate it and it sure is a big motivation for me to keep on going! Thanks :-)

[@anthonybutto1925]

That is amazing, almost at the end I was definitely cheering you on to keep going not to stop, Well done. If you are this quick and you love your work so much, for your milk, If you have a big back yard you can have a couple of cows in a barn to keep you going throughout the whole day? At least the grass dose not need trimming. That can save you money on oil and petrol. If I get too experienced I may need a couple of cows myself. I know you have to pay them for milking them also, ah, is it safe.

[@dritanalsela]

Haha :D :D

[@dritanalsela]

Hi Quin, thanks for leaving your comment. Appreciate your support! Hope you're enjoying your french press :)

[@carolhama4156]

My pleasure...I enjoyed your series of videos. I actually returned the Fresnch Press I bought because I the coffee would get cold fast. So I bought a double walled French press...fort of like a "thermos" made og glass. And now I "pump" my organic whole non-homogenized milk in it and it keeps the froth nice n hot! One question: Is the latte supposed to be just coffee and milk or is it sweetned?

[@mika4670]

How is this training at all? It's just watching him make lattes over and over. Not explaining anything...

[@lefterissimitos6397]

Comments and explaining are good and all, but the number one thing when it comes to learning is observation. Therefore you should observe and compare the difference between your movements and his and you'll definitely be able to improve yourself.
