Barista Coffee Maker

Brew Your Favorite Coffee Like A Barista

My coffee pot is the most overused appliance in my home. My husband and I both work from home, and we take turns brewing the daily pots of coffee. Regardless of the quality of the coffee, or the number of times I scrub the coffee pot clean. I just can't dress up my morning cup of coffee as well as my favorite coffee shop. On the other hand, I really hate the idea of spending $5 on a cup of coffee. You might not think about it, but that daily coffee house cup of coffee habit can cost you a lot, and it adds up quickly. Coffee is a daily habit for a lot of people. We work long hours just trying to make ends meet, and those few cups of coffee can really make you a more productive worker. Coffee makes work a lot easier to handle for most people. It takes the edge off, and makes many arduous jobs bearable. That caffeine hit in the morning can turn the stormiest grump into Mr. or Ms. Sunshine. I am very much that person in the morning after a few cups of coffee, as I am sure most coffee drinkers are.

If you work at home like me, your coffee pot is probably the most overused appliance in your home. Mine was the cheapest coffee pot that I could find, and after two years of constant, daily use, my daily coffee fix was just not doing the trick. Craving my favorite exotic brew from the coffee shop was not the answer to my dilemma. I decided to get a professional coffee maker. This way, I could have my favorite gourmet coffee, and enjoy the taste of a great cup of coffee again. There are a lot of great tips that you can use to brew your own gourmet cup of coffee without emptying your wallet. That professional coffeemaker at your local Bed, Bath, and Beyond may seem too expensive, but if you were to take the time to add up the cost of your frequent visits to the coffeehouse, you would instantly see the savings. The professional models come in single cup convenience, as well as heavy duty multiple brewers. They are easy and convenient to use, and can be self programmed to greet you in the morning with the smell of a lovely Parisian caf. Some of the pro coffeemakers can even brew tea, prepare soup, and create rich cocoas. The possibilities for a gourmet cup of Joe are endless.

Do you think I got the job?
I am 17 years old and applied for a Barista (coffee maker) position at Starbucks. It was a meet and greet, so I automatically got an interview, the manager was very friendly towards me. I shared with her that I am a magician's assisstant, and she seemed to enjoy that. She said she will definately remember me (the store doesn't open until June 20), because of my personality. I also saw on my review words like "friendly" "energetic", I will hear from her in about two weeks! So let me hear what you think!!! Haha, I wouldn't make a career out of a Barista, but Starbuck's offers great flexibilty and I'm pretty sure I could get a job anywhere in the universe!

Can I make a Career out of making Coffee?
I'm 18... I've been making Coffee in various coffee shops for 4 years... I now work nights at a Coffee Shop. Shifts vary from 3pm to midnight, sometimes 12pm to midnight, depending on staff. I love making coffee, and hope one day to manage this place, which will be soon I'm sure. I've got 3 barista certificates with TAFE, and a Certificate 2 and 3 in Retail Operations. I was wondering, as a Barista, Manager... Whatever... is it possible to make a life long career out of cafe's? I was thinking this the other day, when people go into a coffee shop, they don't think of a Barista (coffee maker) as a Profession, they just know they make coffee - BUT: Can they jump on that machine and pull 15 Coffees in 5 Minutes? I'm just curious... I'm not sure what I want to do, and feel sort of bad, as I know it's a profession, but it's not recognized as a Career... If you know what I mean. Help would be appreciated. Ryan And what I mean by "Can they jump on that machine and pull 15 Coffees in 5 Minutes?" Is people that don't know how to make coffee wouldn't know the first thing about making coffee... Hence me thinking: It must be a profession. And another thing: I make great coffee, everyone at this place makes great coffee... Even the manager (you'd think so!)... But the Staff Turnover in hospitality is so bloody high, that I'm sure I'll be able to advance myself into higher positions in the future... I don't work for Gloria Jean's or Starbucks :)
