And now the training begins





Staff training began today.  
The BRs were out in full force -  full of ideas, questions, and a willingness to learn from one of the best barista-trainers in the US.  
Wally came out from NYC to teach us how to use our espresso machine to the full.  He gave us all a  workout on the basics and some of the especially nice touches when making:  
  • espresso
  • latte
  • macchiata
  • cappuccino
Trieste espresso, roasted over wood, made in small batches is our brew and everyone test-tasting today agrees - it is excellent!

Whole milk and soya milk make phenomenal cappuccino, latte, and macchiata!

My mouth literally watered at the description of your Trieste espresso beans. Will you be selling them by the pound for those times when I can't walk down to the Rooster?
