Training with Barista Champions - DVD Trailer

[nonesuchone]

Lavazza is good, but not the best IMO.

[BaristaEvolution]

Great video! If only i lived in the US i would come visit you guys :)...maybe one day ?

As for LaVazza being the best coffee and a French culinary school being the best barista trainers? I THINK NOT!

[BaristaEvolution]

I love this video! ... If i could spend a day with these guys i would be a happy man. In fact...If i ever travel to your part of the work guys...i'll be showing up in your cafe :)...And whoever said LaVazza was the best coffee in the world?!?!?!? Come spend a day with me and the coffee i grow in my back yard :)

[MrCangkirkopi]

.. all the best .. perhaps someday some kind of this event performed in front of coffee farmers :)

[kanokth]

I learning to be the barista and I think it's abit complicated not too easy I mean making latte art but you have to make it looks nice by using steam milk to looks pretty by the way and Lavazza is the best coffee bean I learn from them they have professional trainer at my school Le cordon bleu anyway

[tonyawebo]

arent you suposed , to ¨Not,¨ hit the group holder, cause you could fracture the espresso ,????

[freezingheat27]

Not sure how you "fracture" liquid bro? But I know what your trying to say.

There are theories for tapping and not tapping . Some say a tap can dislodge left over grounds and uneven connection with the sides of the basket before the 2nd tamp etc and some new findings are that tapping can put minute fractures in your tamped grounds causing the water to be concentrated to these fractures causing over extracted parts of the puck.

nice trailer... inspiring.

Nice job Matt. An old friend.

[0Stubb0]

If I get a dribbling, awful espresso shote like they show at 2:10, I pour it out and make a new one for the customer.

And the "latte art" is pathethic.

The ego strokage is top class, though!

[austin98072]

You must be kidding right? What a hack you must be. You think it should be faster? What interesting under extractions you must pull. Have you ever had good coffee? Ummmmm, it is a shot of espresso by the way. And by the way, tamp is the least of your concerns posted below. Grind is the most important element in extraction. Period! Water will take the path of least resistance through the coffee causing channeling. Tamping only slightly offsets this effect. 5LBS is what you really only need.

[thisisnothappening2]

five pounds? really?

[austin98072]

It is that great debate 30-50 pounds of pressure for proper extraction, when in fact it can be as low as 3-5 pounds. The problem is this, simple physics. Most people ignore the obvious and that is when the machine is kept in good working order, the amount of pressure produced in the group head far exceeds anything you can counter by heavy tamping. That was started hear in America. Try an experiment. Try not tamping at all.

[thisisnothappening2]

shot was fine dude.

[yummykind]

I had always thought that twisting at anytime during or after the tamp was creating a type of uneven grind within the portafilter but I see by some of the vid frames that it seems to be widely accepted. It really cool to see all the passion for the product though. Something Starbucks sucks at!

[cucumber1988]

I was taught to tamp exactly like they do in the video, and I was trained by the best trainer in Europe, so it must be the right way to do it.

[rodneystar]

twisting doesnt create an uneven grind, it is done to help get rid of any pockets, to actually make it more even.

[jmhere07]

i hope to work at a cafe when im older its seem like a cool job

[kaffegutt]

oh that coffee sems gooddddddy!

[CoffeeGeek]

Awesome teaser. Agree with billy, the transition cut on Kyle was nice.

I see I'm not the only person who has trouble with white balance when transitioning from people to latte art in the cup. It's a biotch!

Video looks to be good!

[vegadrummer]

@CoffeeGeek

I think you mean iris, or aperture, but maybe you mean white balance? The answer: shoot on film and have an assistant roll iris? Hey Matt we need a bigger budget! ;) Dana Vion, the filmmaker.

[xristrettox]

smooth editing on the transition shot on Kyle!

[Mattoblivian]

yes it's a nice shot ... also the voice in the very beginning is Mr. Brent Fortune.
