Barista, know and learn with me everything about coffee!

Hello dearly, stemian @ s.

Now I am a Barista, although the truth is that this term is too big for me as soon as I start the barista course and barista is a career of approximately 5 years of study, then study like any other career?

The answer is yes. Well, the barista starts as a coffee grower, because if you are going to become a coffee specialist you should know everything about it and where it should start? From the earth. I still have a lot of way to learn and practice about this world, but I would love to share with you everything that you learn and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

We will start with the definition of BARISTA. A barista is the coffee specialist, a person who works with various products such as essences, milk, liqueurs, among others, to create incredible and majestic drinks based on his specialty, coffee. Barista is of Italian origin, a good barista should not only know how to make coffee, a good barista needs both theoretical and practical experience to differentiate between all those flavors and to be able to make pleasing combinations to taste.

You should also know about coffee tostion, grinding, texture, among other important factors for the perfect coffee.

In Latin America two types of coffee are harvested, the Arabica and the robust. Arabica coffee is a coffee that provides a lot of smell and little flavor and the robust is just the opposite, it provides a lot of flavor and little smell. That's why for a good coffee you need a bit of both.

Three important factors must be taken into account for the perfect coffee:

1. Color: The color gives me the tostion of coffee, there are two types of tostiones (light and dark)
2. Odor: The smell is provided by the type of coffee (Arabica or robust)
3. Grinding: Grinding can be fine (Flour), Coarse (Sand) and Medium (Dense)

This means that a perfect coffee should be; Arabico and robust with medium and roasted torrefacto.

One of the complements and the most used as a companion to coffee is milk. There are different types of milk; of almonds, hazelnuts, coconut, cow, among others.

The milk must be emulsified to create what we know as "foam" but in reality it is more of a cream. Milk also has a lot to do with the texture and presentation of coffee, if we have a good cream we can make art beats and with that our presentation will be beautiful.

The first thing to do is open the steamer so that it expels any water you may have, you must fill the jar to one third or half of milk, then you look for an angle where only the tube nozzle is inserted into the liquid , the steam opens, and you will be guided by the sound change of the milk and you will notice how it is foam.

This was all for now, be on my blog for the recipes that are coming, thank you for your attention.
