barista is a name applied to a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks. (from Wiki)i took the class today, how to be Barista!! just the basic training for using coffee machine... i will attend the advanced one later...i just realize that making a good coffee is quite sensitive... i'm not the big fan of fresh coffee... just enjoy it sometimes! i bought a small coffee machine and a grinder... fair quality- fair price..i think
i cant explain much about this... with my little knowledge... maybe big coffee fans would do that... anyway, i did enjoy the class... we begin with how to use a coffee grinder 
... i like Arabica (more than Robusta)
... put the filter holder there.... and grind coffee
... grinding
... done... get drip grind, this amount (3/4 of filter) is for one shot of expresso 
have to press it with the right level... not too light or too tough (i cant remember what's the word used for pressing... it starts with "t" : |)if it's too light... we would get thin coffee... if too strong, coffee would be burnt... bad smell & taste... then have to throw it away...
... done... after pressing... the amount would be approximately 1/2 of filter
... test test after setting the grinding level (for each type of coffee)... then, time to try expresso
... brewing
.... the trainer often says... check a creama! (brown foam)... you have to make a great creama!as expresso is the base for any type of coffee.... now we try to make hot Latte and hot Cappuccino (as you know... they are different because of the amount of hot milk, and steamed-milk foam)how to make steamed-milk foam? 
... put the ice in the stainless steel milk frothing pitcher (to make the pitcher cold) 
... get the heat...till water turns to be steam
...ready now
... put milk into the pitcher
>>> 
... be careful... and wait till the pitcher is hot... then back to brew expresso again
... that's enough 
... then hot milk (i think it's warm now)... steamed-milk foam after...
...a)
...
do you notice the difference between a) and ?well, wanna give you answer... a) is Cappuccino, and is Latte
... done... looks good chai mai? 
ok, let try iced coffee
... expresso based as same... but change the container
... sweetened condensed milk
... unsweetened condensed milk (correct?)
... and mix 
... done!
... coffee grounds... looklikes Oreo? the trainer said this is the good one :]
... hot chocolate aftertime for tea
... this is green tea... but it isnt green actually
... have to add green powder
... mix
... sweetened condensed milk
...done!... this is JUST the 10th glass i had today... during training (O-o)after class...i feel dizzy and want to throw up!! too much caffein?? well, maybestill sick till now... : [take care, everyone
