Luck be with you. I'm about to do the exact same thing. Having a talk with the owner soon. Connor's videos and others have also inspired me. Plus it's a massive hobby for me at home.

I recommend getting a certification first,

​@Noodles5377 though good to have as it can help a lot. it definitely isn't required as I landed Mt very first job at a local Cafe and have been a Berista since. Though my very small amount of volunteer experience with Cafe a few years before that job may have helped me there.

Good luck mate! Hope you get the job!

Did you get the job??

Definitely my happy place

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Glad you’re enjoying them! I hope you can get your own machine one day!

@@ConnorDoesCoffee These vids make me wanna work at a cafe but theres none around me. Hopefully when I go to college they have lots of cafes

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching

Hope you enjoy it!

That one was super interesting! Maybe will go back there one day. Thanks for watching

It’s just a different recipe for this cafe

@@ConnorDoesCoffee Oh ok I see. Well keep up the great videos!

Keeping an eye on the shots

espresso is typically 18 grams in and 28 - 30 grams out

The beans sent by the roastery usually have a desired recipe with them and we just follow it.

To pop air bubbles

I ask myself the same question!

Might be the same company with multiple locations around the same area. Some places will have you work at a different location depending on who is needed

I use an app called baristas on tap

If you're talking about the tamping, where they push the coffee down, it's so that it creates a resistance to the water coming through to the coffee. This resistance makes it harder for the water to get through, hence extracting all the flavors of the espresso.

@@decoroman4981 No, I mean that it weighs each gram of coffee, a gram more or a gram less I don't think it makes a big difference in the coffee, and weighing it every time is something obsessive. I think he has obsessive-compulsive syndrome, or if he doesn't have it, he borders on it, although I have realized that when he is tired he doesn't care if each cup is 180g. If he is happy, I don't care about that, but back to the point. Why does he weigh the coffee that way? 🤔🥲

I see. Well, they don't have to measure the espresso exactly, but you're only supposed to put in 18 to 19 grams of espresso in the machine. This is because if you put more than this, the flavor of the result will be weak. Too little, it will be too bitter and over-extracted.

@@decoroman4981 ohhhh wow 😯 thanks 🙏🏻 I didn’t know that 🤝🏻

its really important to measure your grams every single time. Having always the same grams in your extraction you can ensure that you always serve the same result to the customer. It's also easier to know when you must change your grinder settings (got coarser or finer).
