expresso coffee question?
part of my job is making expresso coffee. Having not been a coffee drinker before, i'm not sure how to tell if a coffee is good. I know all the theory behind what i'm doing, but i was wondering if there was some way to tell if the coffee is good by looking at it. Like, does it go a certain color or something?
And also, how does one make those latte hearts on top of the coffee?
Start tasting shots. A good espresso should be balanced, not overly bitter, sour or burnt tasting. The flavor will depend on the beans - it might have notes of chocolate or citrus.
A shot can look great and taste awful, so don't go by looks completely. This is the part that takes practice.
If your training didn't include any of this, I commend you for being interested. A great book on espresso is David Schomer's Professional Techniques. Barista Exchange is a social networking site for the coffee industry.
Latte art is going to require that your foam texture is right. If your boss isn't keen on you wasting milk to practice, you can use a squirt of dish soap in a pitcher of water. Ask if your roaster offers training. Having someone show you is the easiest way. I'm self-taught and I'm in the middle of correcting poor form, which is more difficult than getting it right to begin with. Check out a few videos, then practice on every drink.Try http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Latte-Art
Pulling a good shot of espresso is indescribably awesome. Keep striving to get better and good luck.
