Sometimes I wonder...

A place in Sydney is offering a 3.5 hour course in making coffee for only $316.

Not sure how long it took me to learn...

2 spoons sugar, 1 spoon coffee, pour hot water, drink....

Abs' course cost $180 for eight hours. We were at a coffee place a while later and she sniffed my Latte, picked it up, went to the counter and told them they'd burnt the coffee and could we have a new one please! They apologised and got me another one and gave me my money back. I hadn't even tried it. :lol:

Although I drink quite a lot of coffee it is very weak so three cups for me is probably equivalent of one to other people.

I like the mild stuff and have a level teaspoon with one sugar and a nice flop of milk.
Mix it all up before adding the water so I don't burn the coffee.

"Dishwater" is a word often used. :D

must be more invovled than just getting the amount of coffee right into the machine - guess they have to learn how to clean out machine, wash the pipes. the differences in all the coffee, strengths etc

I have my own espresso machine and have become a bit of a coffee snob since using it. But when I got the machine it took about 10 minutes for me to make my first coffee with it. After a few brews I had the knack of it. I couldn't imagine what you would do over 3 days. I remember reading once that in Italy it can take four years to become a barista, I had to double check it wasn't a spelling mistake for barrister.
