Sleepless by coffee


Yesterday evening we had a coffee workshop at Kaldi, a little coffee store in Maastricht. The idea was to learn a little bit about coffee, to taste coffee and to learn making a good cuppa and (most importantly!) a good cappuccino foam.The workshop itself was really nice, very good value for money and really fun. Had a bit too much coffee though, not being used to drinking five espressos after dinner... But anyway.The best part of the evening was the fact that they had exactly the same espresso machine as we have at home (see picture), so we could practice making coffee and foam as we should do it at home too. Pictures below showing Anita (with a very fancy and even more expensive coffee machine) and Pascal learning to make the perfect cappuccino. And now we have to
practice to keep our barista skills up! So I actually have an excuse for making cappuccino every morning, it's all a matter of personal competencies! For the true fans, I've added a movie of how to make latte art (Dutch Championships coming up soon!), which is less easy than they make it seem, I'm affraid...
