COFFEES
Espresso - An espresso consists of around 30ml of darkly roasted coffee beans (7g), that have been finely ground and then had hot water pumped through the grinds.
Doppio and Macchiato - A Doppio is basically a double espresso (60ml). The Macchiato has a little bit of frothy milk added.
Long Black - A weaker version of the espresso. It contains 60ml espresso with 120ml of hot water. A creama, which is produced from the coffee as a foam, should develop on the top to show both the freshness and quality of the beans and grind.
Latte - This contains 60ml of espresso with 120ml of steamed milk. It is then topped with a little froth.
Cappuccino - A good combination is 1:1:1. That is 60ml espresso, 60ml of steamed milk, and 60ml of frothed milk. Sprinkle on top powdered chocolate or cinnamon.
Have fun developing your barista skills!
A Short lesson in life...........
Is it full?
The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee
When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in
a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front
of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then
asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between
the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of
course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar
was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and
poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space
between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the
important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and
your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they
remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and
your car.
The sand is everything else---the small stuff. "If you put the sand into
the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf
balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on
the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important
to you.
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play
with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse
out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the
house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things
that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
