Reviews

Marina: I decided to try Barista Cream, I was attracted by both the price and the information on the packaging. I love coffee with a creamy and chocolate flavor. I would like to say that this drink has a pleasant aroma, is quite strong and the bitterness is clearly noticeable, but all this information is indicated on the packaging. A good combination of quality and price.

Olga: I tried Barista in a green pack - not tasty, not aromatic and very bitter. To improve the taste you need to add milk, liqueur, syrup, honey, etc., but I buy coffee not to improve it, but to enjoy it. Not my product.

Ivan: Yes, the quality of this brand still needs improvement. I think we need more professionalism, because coffee is not so easy to roast, grind and package correctly; you need to study the intricacies of each stage. The manufacturer still has everything ahead.

Max: I tried some of the professional series in a restaurant in Minsk. Its taste is very different from what is sold in red, green and other packs in the store. If you choose this brand, then only from the Pro series.

Barista: who is he? What does he do?

The specialist who stands behind the bar is called a “barista” (translated from Italian). But this is not so, a barista is a worker who prepares coffee well in a coffee machine and knows how to serve it correctly.

The barista brews natural bean coffee and also knows how to prepare other coffee drinks based on it. In Italy, this profession is highly valued; people learn what they love and know all the nuances of processing and methods of collecting coffee beans.

A “master barista” is a specialist who brews real espresso. You can prepare coffee using several methods: drip, pour and brew with water, boil, filter, cook under pressure. By brewing using the latter method, you can get real espresso, which is served in all coffee shops, bars and restaurants.

Each type of coffee needs to be brewed in a specific way to get the perfect drink. The quality of the finished coffee is influenced by the following factors: the freshness of the beans, the degree of grinding, water and the functions of the coffee machine. A barista can easily determine the pros and cons of espresso. A real Barista brew should have a gently creamy foam that does not settle.

Baristas must have the following qualities:

• Politeness and friendliness;
• Communication skills, because they work with people;
• Sociability;
• Professional skills and responsibility.

Russian baristas are boys and girls under the age of thirty. Mostly these are representatives of the fairer sex between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. A real barista must be able to prepare up to forty types of coffee drinks. Must also be proficient in latte art, which means drawing on coffee foam.
