Hi, I’m Stefan Carlberg, welcome to my
coffee making tutorial for busy baristas. Let me first say I’m pleased to have you here and
also – I’m not a world champion barista. I do have 15 years of experience in the coffee making
business so I hope I can impart some of that Knowledge that I’ve gained, through this video.
Now the most important aspect in the coffee making Business is to be consistent, you have to be there
every day – five o’clock in the morning, you have To make the coffee consistently well, so when it’s
really busy and you are trying to churn out three Coffees a minute you have to make those coffees
as well as you can. The most important aspect of Making a coffee is the espresso. So the espresso
is going to depend on how you grind the coffee, You should have the grinder (I’m pointing at it
now although you can’t see it) the grinder has To be set up before you start every day. You fine
tune it so that you make sure that the consistency Of the ground coffee comes out the way you
need it. You dial it in in the morning and then You change it as the day goes on, because the
temperature is going to change, the humidity is Going to change and that’s going to affect how the
grind comes out. You’ve got to be sure that you Get the grind right where it’s going to be, you
get the right dose so that it comes out properly. Then you make sure that you tamp it correctly so
you put the right pressure on so that it gets nice And even and there’s no channeling happening
once you get it in the coffee machine. Once You have the espresso running and it has a nice
flow, it should be between 25 and 30 seconds, We’ll see what I managed to do in this one. The
steam wand should be about a third in on the side Of the milk pot and you should get the temperature
up to about 60 to 65 degrees – getting the air In it – you need to stretch the milk so that it
is a nice consistency and all this you’ll learn By doing. I’m not going to teach you
how to make beautiful latte art in this Coffee making tutorial because 90% of the coffees
that I’ve served in the 15 years I’ve been in this Business has been in take away containers. You put
a lid on that and it doesn’t matter what it looks Like – it does matter what it tastes like though.
Nowadays the environmentally friendly cup is quite Popular as well. Guess what? Got a lid on
it as well. As long as you make a consistent Coffee that tastes good all the latte art in the
world is not going to matter, it’s going to be Serving coffee with a lid on and if that is
the case make sure that you do it consistently, Beautiful is not going to count – it’s going to
be taste! So there you have it, if you want to Get good at making coffee you have to practice a
lot. Thank you for watching this, if you like it Press the like button, if you really like it even
