Educational Coffee Research-Duties and Responsibilities

Another exhausting but exciting day as a Barista trainee. We were assigned to some Coffee Shops in Iligan City to conduct Research about the duties and responsibilities of a Coffee Barista in a certain field of duty.

I was assigned to Brews Almighty Coffee Shop at National Highway, Tibanga, Iligan City.

BARISTA Training

Yesterday in school was the most exciting day ever we had in training. We were excited and nervous on how to master the proper way of preparing Espresso, Coffee Latte', Cafe Americano and Cappuccino. We were taken coffee orders from our fellow classmates and had our first individual hands-on by preparing the orders. The coffee we prepared was being judged by the person who orders it. I guess we all did well because no one complaints about having stomach pain caused by wrong preparation. Thumbs up to everyone!!!!!

In school today, Coffee BARISTA Training
