When i walk into a cafe i see three Common mistakes baristas are making all The time Stick around i’ll tell you what they are [Music] Hey guys i’m jimmy welcome back to the Artistic youtube channel where we talk You through all things coffee If you haven’t already be sure to Subscribe to our channel uh like this Video and hit the bell icon so don’t Miss out on any of our future videos So today i want to talk to you about the Three common mistakes that i’m seeing In so many cafes all around the place so Number one I’m still seeing people tapping their Baskets with their Tamp now this is why you’re doing it why You’re still doing it it’s doing so much Damage not only physically to your tamp Trashing your tamp trashing your baskets And your group heads But the biggest issue that we see is Channeling so if you haven’t learned Enough about channeling go and watch our Other video we’ll put the link in But what you’re doing is you’re damaging All of the preparation work that you’ve Done You’re creating cracks through your park You’re separating your puck from the Edges and that’s where the water is Going to run through as quickly as
Possible So you’re going to reduce the your Extraction times you’re going to reduce The quality of your extraction Simply by tapping so you’ve got to stop It so number two You’ve really got to stop reheating milk So We all know what it’s like when you go Into a cafe and you see a heap of milk Jugs and they’ve all got leftover milk In them Basically they’re sitting within what is The australian food standard Of potentially between five and sixty Degrees of that Danger zone of temperature so bacteria Grows within that time so it’s just Unsafe to have that Type of heated milk sitting on your Bench for starters get yourself a jug Rinse so you can reduce the amount of Milk Jugs that you even need watch our other Video we’ll Link below which is about how to reduce Your wastage and get better at your milk Levels Because the biggest issue is just people Just don’t want to waste milk but You’re it’s detrimental to the flavor of Your coffee most of all So when you heat milk the proteins Harden
The air particles stick to those Proteins and you can’t replicate that Twice Same as the sugars the sugars will break Down into smaller sugars and they will Bring out some beautiful sweetness in That milk But again it’s not going to happen twice So every time you top up cold milk On top of hot milk you’re just reducing The quality of the coffee that you’re Serving And we just don’t want to do that and Lastly The other thing i hate to see is this It’s leaving your group handles Out of your machine to get cold coffee Needs to Be extracted at the right temperature And consistently the right temperature To maintain the flavor that you really Want So when you add water to your park if You Have got cold handles you’re going to Change the temperature that the water is Going through And that’s going to exchange your Extractions and therefore change your Flavor I’m all for taking your heads out Cleaning them Flushing the machine and making sure You’re all prepared for next time
But just remember to put your grip Handles back up into your machine to Keep them Nice and hot so then my three pet hates When i walk into a cafe What are your pet hates put them in the Comments below we might make another Video But we’d just love to hear uh people’s Horror stories so um If you haven’t already be sure to Subscribe to our channel like this video And hit the bell icon so you don’t miss Out on any future videos And i’ll catch you next time thanks guys Cheers bye [Music]
