Hi Kate! Welcome to the wonderful world of owning your own coffee house. :) I actually have a rough draft for a barista training manual that I would be more than happy to send you. It is also posted in the topic 'Espresso Training 101' in the Espres…
I've just finished writing a rough draft of the espresso training manual for the new cafe I am working at. We just opened two weeks ago and I was brought in for my barista knowledge to train the new baristas. Anyone willing to proof read and give ad…

Favorite Quotes
Over second and third cups flow matters of high finance, high state, common gossip and low comedy. [Coffee] is a social binder, a warmer of tongues, a soberer of minds, a stimulant of wit, a foiler of sleep if you want it so. From roadside mugs to the classic demi-tasse, it is the perfect democrat. ~Author Unknown

Hi Justin,
thanks for the comment :) as for order of the layering there isn't one really, it comes down to timing when adding the shot and using a slightly longer draws. For that drink in specificthe lighter layer was added first timed to when the milk just starts to settle and about 1/2 a shot of coffee, more milk is added immediatley after this to lighten the colour, then just repeat to get the desired effect. The hard part is getting the layers to stay seperate and not merge together.....the most we have had was a 6 layer latte but more than that is eluding me at the minute.
If you make latte art.
If you feel that your pilgrimage as a barista would bring you into the heart of Seattle.
This is the group for you! A group for those who make sweet latte art and have an undying love for David Schomer for starting it all!
