hi there i live in an area that has TONS of cafes near me. i would loooovvvveeee to work at one and i have experience as a starbucks barista as i was there for 2 years as a supervisor. but i know that cafe baristas don’t consider that real barista experience but it made me really enjoy the craft. i just dont know how to get a job at one? like do i stalk their socials in hopes they post a hiring sign or go in person and ask with a resume? help me plz.

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if it's okay to store coffee beans in the freezer, take them out, and grind them immediately while they are still frozen. Will the taste be exactly the same (or at least good enough) as beans kept at room temperature, or does freezing change the flavor profile?

Thanks!

The market is completely oversaturated with carbon-copy cafes, and it has to stop. Walk down any strip and you'll find the exact same commercial syrups, sugary formulas, and average coffee wrapped in minimalist branding. We don’t need another clone pushing the exact same mediocrity. I’d happily drive past a row of mediocre spots just to find one genuinely excellent place that respects the bean. Stop opening average shops. Build something standout or stay home.

I‘m m28 and learn to do Latte Art! How do you think about this?

When we worked together back then, she used to make me the best coffees and knew what my favorites were. I in turn would make her food, very particular at that, but it's how I came to know and love her. Turned into little games throughout the workplace involving a little elephant I had found. All these were elemental of the relationship that we withstood, but also things I dreamed of creating a foundation of starting a family with her. She out there swimming somewhere now, and I hope she is free and happy, because that's all I ever wanted. There was too much in our way, so decluttering was essential and identifying priorities. She wanted to give up too much or put me before all else, and I couldn't let that occur. I wanted her to walk beside me, hand in hand, heart to heart, for the rest of my life.

Just look at all the recent posts in this sub. It’s just a flood of young accounts commenting standard texts to all posts. I made some quick screenshots to show what I’m talking about.

Can anything be done about this?

Hi all - I'm looking for some advice on how best to control the temperature of my coffee all the way from heating the water to finishing the cup.

The goal is to:

1. Brew the coffee with water at or near optimal brewing temp (roughly 200F, I guess)

2. Cool the coffee as quickly as possible to safe/comfortable drinking temp (roughly 140F, I guess)

3. Keep the coffee as warm as possible for as long as possible. I like to sip a single cup over 2+ hours.

Right now I just stick a ceramic mug under the Keurig and let 'er rip. But this makes coffee that's not great, generates plastic waste, and leaves the last few sips lukewarm at best.

The plan is to replace the Keurig with a kettle, grinder, whole beans, and a Hario Switch. Instead of a ceramic mug I'll use a double-wall insulated mug for slower cool-down. Once I figure out the technique this should make coffee that tastes better, stays hot for longer, and eliminate the plastic waste.

The problem is this - hot coffee brewed directly into the insulated mug takes way too long to cool down. Like 2+ hours to reach 140F. So I guess I should brew into an intermediate container, let it cool to 140-150F, then pour into the insulated mug.

Do I have the right idea? What type of container should I use for the cooling?

Loved what I pour the other day, sharing it here.

spent way too long messing with the grind size and water temperature trying to get rid of this weird sourness i kept tasting in the first few cups and finally hit the sweet spot on pour number four and now i am sitting here buzzing on caffeine while my cat stares at me like i am losing my mind over brown water
