Re: coffee course
And the rest.....
In Japan, there is no way youd claim to be a Sushi chef with much less than 10 years experience...
I consumed my first cup at 5 and started playing with coffee myself when I was perhaps 8 years old and if I havent pulled a couple of million shots in a multitude of cafes and at events, Ill go he.
Dunno if I was once a barista, but I wouldnt call myself one now. I get coffee and I reckon I can pull a pretty fair shot as well. No way Id be able to handle the volume these days though
Spend a couple of hours pushing buttons, pulling a lever and crucifying milk to call yourself a barista? Yeah right... ;D
Real baristi have class, dignity, humility, speed and precision and can pull a bloody good shot and you dont get that in an hour or two, regardless of what the bit of paper says...
Rockstars dont rate for me either. They need to learn from sushi...
As for me, I continue to learn about coffee every single day.
