Most people start their morning with a cup of aromatic coffee. As a rule, the most delicious invigorating drink is made in coffee shops. But you can learn how to cook it at home. The secret lies in the Barista coffee pack.

Who is a barista?

When we enter the coffee shop, we see a man standing behind the bar and brewing a fragrant drink.

This profession name comes from the Italian language. The barista brews a drink from natural grains, and is also able to prepare a wide variety of coffee drinks. The described profession is highly valued in Italy. People are eager to learn all the details of this craft and even study all the processing and methods of collecting coffee beans.

A specialist can only be called a master barista if he knows how to brew real espresso. There are several ways to prepare coffee: boil, cook under pressure, pour and brew with water, drip and filter methods. If you learn how to brew coffee under the pressure of an Aeropress, you can get a real, proper espresso as a result, which you could try inany cafe or restaurant.

Every barista who respects his job knows how to understand coffee varieties. After all, for everyone you need to select a certain method of brewing in order to reveal all the notes of coffee beans.

A qualified barista must have several specific qualities:

• goodwill and courtesy;
• sociability;
• social skills, since the main work takes place in contact with people;
• responsibility and professional skills.

How to choose the right coffee?

The first thing that catches the eye on the shelf in the store is the packaging. She is the first choice. First of all, the grade must be indicated on the coffee bag. Give preference to packages where you can view the grains. This point can be explained by the fact that an unscrupulous manufacturer can mix a cheap grade into the package. If the package contains two varieties of coffee, then their percentage should be indicated in the composition. Grains in the package must be necessarily dull and whole. Also, the degree of roasting and its date should be indicated on the pack. On the back side of the package, as a rule, information about the place of production of coffee beans is indicated. Ideally, the country, producer region, plantation should be written. Don't forget to pay attention to flavorings. All kinds of spices and spices are considered natural, such as vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg. But if you see alcohol, chocolate or nuts in the description of supplements, you can immediately conclude thatthat these are not completely natural flavors.

In addition to the information on the back of the package, you should also pay attention to the quality of the package itself. There should be a tight reusable valve at the top so that even after several openings, the coffee retains its original taste and aroma. In such packaging, grains can be stored for a year. Coffee retains its maximum flavor from 2 to 4 weeks after roasting. After a month, the grains begin to lose all their properties, in other words, to age. Therefore, be sure to pay attention to the date of roasting.

Coffee varieties

The most common types of aromatic drink that you can often find are Arabica and Robusta. The choice is entirely yours as it mostly comes down to personal preference. If we talk about Arabica, then it has a more noble, rich, slightly sweet taste, where a slight sourness and bitterness are pleasantly combined. This variety has round beans and is also high in caffeine.

If we talk about Robusta, then it contains even more caffeine than Arabica, about 2 times. Therefore, the variety in question has an astringent taste and excessive bitterness.

How is coffee made in coffee machines?

In various coffee shops and restaurants, you can see the barista brewing coffee with a special machine. A classic example is the carob coffee machine. This device works according to the following principle: hot steam and water enter the horn under pressure, then it enters thecup, immediately after passing the capsule with ground compressed coffee. Such a coffee machine requires additional devices: a coffee grinder, a tamper that compresses ground coffee, and a water softener. The need for the last point is explained by the fact that for a coffee machine, water must be completely free of chlorine and other harmful impurities.

The second way to brew coffee can be an automated coffee machine. This machine is very convenient to use, because it has a built-in coffee grinder, which minimizes human intervention. All cooking processes are carried out by the machine itself, you only need to press the button to start the process.

Another representative of machines can be a pouring coffee maker. Such devices consist of a variety of filters and use only ground coffee. The process of making a drink is as follows: coffee is poured into a flask, which is heated by a special tile below during the brewing process.
