Omar Siarief, Barista coffee shop Brew and Co. reveal, a barista is not just your normal machine. Although his job is to make a cup of delicious coffee. "Baristas do not just brew black coffee in a coffee shop like a traditional," said Omar, Friday (17 / 3). Simply put, an expert baristas make espresso and rich flavor drinks using espresso as a base ingredients. "Espresso coffee drinks can be called king is not a beverage that can be made of all people. The main reason, espresso coffee can be generated only through an espresso machine that cost the least expensive of Rp 14 million (some even up to hundreds of millions), "he added.
These expensive machines capable of pumping out all the enjoyment that is contained in coffee and hot water through very high pressure (9 atm) it generates."The key to this lies in the pleasure of espresso crema, the essence of coffee that floats above the liquid smelled of strong coffee and a seductive fragrance of coffee.This is the life of espresso, because without crema, not espresso name. And, the task is to issue a barista coffee Crema, "he explained.

Reliability barista also can not be obtained just like that, especially at this time is very minimal education about the world of the barista. "In Indonesia there is no school in particular, there is only a course or training to be a barista and was there also in Jakarta," said Omar.
This is justified by Wirawan, who said that if the baristas are usually problems favorite. "I myself learned to be a barista in a self-taught and because it is often practiced," he said.
