POV- Barista works a lunch rush in Central London…

A few cuts to wash my hands and tidy the back counter! I got a little bit stressed but had fun nonetheless.

I just hope you get the same too! But I think definentlu go for it, it’s good pay and you get 50% off at other stores!

I always find it amazing how in these cafes almost nobody orders a simple espresso - it's almost always milk drinks.

Because people want a drink to sit and enjoy, and for most people that's not an espresso.

Nice that the Americano with hot milk came along when it did. Do any of your employers worry about milk waste? I've worked at a place that made us weigh out milk in the pitcher before steaming for each drink. Ironically they didn't worry too much about the weight of the coffee being as precise as you do. Watching a few of your videos I am reminded how priorities and preference can be all over the place from shop to shop.

There are a few teething issues, like where things are placed, need smaller jugs, it all slowes you down and adds to stress. But it is typical of a new store I think i used to travel helping be private coffee stores open and suggest set ups to help the day flow, like where to place air in and take away cos, even things like where to put ice, fridges sugar it all makes a huge difference doesn't it. You are a talented barista,a true nuclear of coffee

Will someone explain to me the tamping process with the two metal "pucks" plus the tamping machine? Just curious. Thanks

[@harpy2602]

Neither of the handheld ones are pucks. The first is a WDT tool - this uses several tiny needle to break up clumps in the coffee grinds. The second is a wedge distributor, that evenly spreads (distributes) the grinds before tamping. Then it gets tamped by the machine :)

[@ItsBugsy]

Love these vids. Quick question, why is 18g so significant?

[@saamo1423]

consistency

[@harpy2602]

18g is the modern cafe's standard dose for a double shot of espresso. Some cafes use a little less or more, but 18g is the most common. Because of the way espresso is extracted under the high pressure, the amount of coffee matters much more than in other brewing methods, and even small deviations will affect the outcome, which is why you aim for the same amount every time

[@Jonpoo1]

The shot is supposed to be calibrated to extract the perfect amount of flavour or whatever from the beans. If you add extra beans you send the same amount of water at the same heat and pressure through more beans so it offsets the balance in the extraction. So it messes up the taste (in theory…) and the look of the shot. The standard dose for a double shot can vary between 17 and 19 grams. Sometimes up to the low 20s. You might see 17.5 used a lot in other places. You can have whatever amount you want so long as it fits in the basket but if you start with 18g and dial in at 18g you can keep consistency by always using 18g.

[@muteebam]

I have a question. As someone who works in my school cafe, for our milk we have thermometers. How do you know when the milk is the right temperature?

[@jamesramsey2400]

Don’t need thermometer, just use your hand on the side of the jug to monitor the temperature as soon as it starts to approach being hot enough to burn you stop, ideally that’s around 65 max 70

[@amberarmstrong4902]

Can someone educate me on why they do not reuse the already ground beans cup when the scale is under?

[@drwdcnl3216]

I've read somewhere that those beans go stale after a while. I bet it would still be drinkable but better not serve it to the customers.

[@HeyImSolace]

It's just too much of a hassle, getting some freshly ground is just easier than scooping them from the Mug. Also, I bet some customers won't appreciate seeing that their coffee is taken from some random mug.

[@gatobatera]

51:23 What happened here?

[@anime-mangatonghop9349]

Why don't you take some grinderd coffee into a cup and if you need more or less for your recipe, you can do that easily instead of using spoon to take coffee from the COFFEE GRINDER!!

[@oshiico]

Likely because you should only be using freshly ground not old grinds. It gets stale

[@harpy2602]

ground coffee that stays exposed to air degrades much faster. it gives a better quality product to freshly grind all the beans for a drink

[@aserra2026]

Can't it be adjusted to dispense more? I get it's not perfect every time, but if you can consistently keep it at least at 18.1g you can just take out the .1 every time instead of having to go back to the machine to put some in, then take some out anyway. More time-efficient, albeit slightly ineffecient with coffee grounds.
