I need some barista advice. My husband and I own a Cafe. He cooks, I serve, we hire a couple of baristas. At the moment we are a barista down so occasionally I need to fill in on the machine. I made a regular a long black. He came back next time and I made him another one. Now he's changed his order. Whilst lamenting this (and to my partner's huge amusement), another regular came in and I made him a long black too. Yesterday he came in, and he now orders tea. Any pointers for improving my barista skills, Nina?

Three tips.

1. Use the correct beans. Pricier does NOT mean better. There's a specific type of bean for each good coffee. Use the Arabia coffee bean for a long black.

2. Use water between 90 to 96°C. Any higher and there'll be a lot of bitter flavors in your coffee. Unless you're into that. Then never mind me.

3. Pre-heat everything. At least, everything you're gonna use to the above-mentioned temperature range. If your mug or whatever is cold, it'll leach the heat away, and that's a no-go.

experiment as you go, really. it's like alchemy.

I’m not sure if you’ve been asked this already so sorry if you have but how do you make your coffee? Like do you have an espresso machine or something? I’ve gotten really into making my own lattes lately but the coffee is not what I want and I don’t know how to make espresso. I have a frother for the milk (I use coconut) and syrups and that’s all great but like. How do you make the coffee good?? Your lattes always look so amazing

you’re totally cool!! i use a breville espresso machine!! a latte has to have espresso, so it sounds like you might be making au laits? (hot coffee topped with steamed/frothed milk) but if you want to make a good latte or coffee it all starts with the beans you use! i would do some research and see if there’s any local roasters near you and ask them what they recommend for your set up! every bean and batch will taste different depending on a bunch of different variables: where the beans were grown, how they are roasted, how fresh they are, how you make your espresso or coffee, how you grind it, and how long your shots pull if you’re using a machine, and so so much more !

if you don’t mind me asking, how do you usually make your coffee? do you use a regular brewer, pour over, french press, etc? because that also really affects how your coffee tastes! and i’ll be able to help you better, since each method requires different advice

as for the milk, coconut milk is easily the hardest milk to get to have a nice texture. it’s so watery that it tends to just bubble up, but obviously if that’s the only milk you can drink due to health/lifestyle reasons, you can still make do! also a hand frother is nice for getting a thick foam, if you’re into that, but if you do want to be able to do latte art, you’ll need a machine with a steam wand that has as small of a nozzle as possible so you can have more control over how much air you let in! milk steaming and getting the right texture is a whole other skill in itself

coffee is such a science, i was so surprised when i first started getting into it, and i was lucky to work at a really nice shop so i could learn all this. but when it comes down to it, you can still make a good cup of coffee that you enjoy without all the fancy stuff!

it’s hard to be specific since i don’t know your set up, but feel free to ask ask many coffee questions as you like!!

Hi Maria this might be a weird question but when did you start drinking coffee and how often do you drink it? I don't know if i should start because i'm starting college soon and a lot of people say it helps them a lot??

Hi! Not a weird question at all!

I started drinking coffee 2 years ago, in my last year of high school and it really does help for days where you are very tired and need to get lots of work done.

I don’t drink coffee unless I need to, only if I had a bad nights sleep, so I cut out “coffee just for fun”, I’m young, active and energetic naturally.

The reason why I’m saying this is because “starting drinking coffee” isn’t a big deal ahah we’re making it sound very serious but it’s literally buying this hot fluid from time to time whenever you’re feeling like you need a pick up.

It’s like a little hug. I drink in the morning and the effect lasts all day. The more you take the less effect it has on you, so only drink it when you actually need it. My dad has to drink 3 expressos per day now. So my advice is to not drink it every day for long periods of time. Besides not being good for your health (sleep is) it’s expensive (sleep is free).

Shows like Gilmore Girls are of course an exaggeration and a lot of people in school romanticize it but once again, moderately it’s totally ok!

The maximum ammount I’ve ever had is 1 expresso or 1 lattee per week day during finals weeks. So 10 expressos during 14 days. After that it’s like 1 coffee per week during school time but I don’t really count, every week is different and it fluctuates! But I never drink more than 1 a day. And I haven’t touched coffee during summer break.

About the should I start or not, once again, it’s not a big deal! Never start doing something because you feel peer pressured to. A lot of people like it because it makes them awake and energetic without sleep. And yes it’s great for that!!

If you feel completely fine studying now, then why start?

During college if you feel like during some days you need something like that, then give it a go; there are studies that show it’s actually healthy to drink a cup of coffee once in a while!

I think your confusion is around the fact that once you drink it you have to keep drinking it consistently. That is NOT the case, you have the power to not drink it, for me it’s like trying a new food. It’s not addictive like smoking, or sodas for a better comparison.

Punch line: have a good sleeping schedule during college/school time. Sleep is better than coffee. Take coffee only when you need a pick up! Have fun and enjoy your drink!!!! 

Pro tip: get used from the start to drink your coffee without putting any extra sugar in it! Don’t throw those sugar things they give you away, you can keep them in your kitchen or give back to the barista.

++ never drink coffee without anything in your stomach, also drink water before or after since coffee is dehydrative and can give you headaches (nothing major).
