In Italy, Cappuccino Is Traditionally Consumed Once a Day with Breakfast In Italy, Cappuccino Is Traditionally Consumed Once A Day With Breakfast. National Cappuccino Day is observed annually on November 8. A nice hot cup of cappuccino is perfect on a frosty morning, meeting with friends or just to enjoy a creamy cuppa. The word cappuccino comes from the Capuchin friars and is the diminutive form of cappuccio in Italian, meaning hood or something that covers the head. This popular coffee beverage got its name not from the hood on their habits but from the color of the hooded robes that the friars wore. (The Capuchin friars is an Order of friars in the Catholic Church, among the chief offshoots of the Franciscans.) The espresso machine was first patented by a man named Luigi Bezzera in 1901. In 1945 Achille Gaggia invented the modern espresso machine which further popularized the cappuccino. The Mid 1990s – Cappuccino was made more widely available to North Americans as upscale coffee houses sprang up. Late 1990′s to Early 2000′s – Cappuccinos became popular in the United States concurrent with the boom in the American coffee industry. The start of 21st Century – A modified short-cut version of the cappuccino started being served at fast-food chains. While steaming the milk you must pay close attention to attain the correct ratio of foam, thus making the cappuccino one of the most difficult espresso-based beverages to make properly. A skilled barista may create artistic shapes while he/she is pouring milk on top of the espresso coffee. In Italy, cappuccino is traditionally consumed once a day with breakfast. The steamed foam served with capuccino serves as an insulator and allows the liquid to retain its heat for a longer period of time. The top layer of the foam is where you usually encounter the strong flavors giving a special taste to cappuccino. Ginger, cinnamon and cocoa in powder form, are the most popular choices. The first use of cappuccino in English is recorded in 1948 in a work about San Francisco. In Italy, the average barista is 48 years old. Kopi Luwak is considered to be the rarest and most expensive coffee in the world. It is grown in Indonesia, and is about 50 dollars a cup, or 400 dollars a pound. Espresso Vivace is a venue in Seattle where, would you believe it, people flock from all over the world to learn the art of making coffee and cappuccino. Its founder, David Schomer, is one of the most acclaimed champions of “latte art” in the world. the world championships for the best cappuccino are held each year in London, attracting baristas from all over the world. The winners? They are almost always Italian Kazuki Yamamoto is known worldwide for his 3D cappuccinos: His 3D latte art creations are raised in height and his portraits literally pop out of the cup. He lives and works in Osaka, Japan. Follow him on Twitter. Sources: National Day Calendar Foodimentary Mobile-Cuisine Fine Dining Lovers Twitter.

  • Espressos P R E S S O Bbara R
    TTHEH E EESPRESSOS P R E S S O BBARA R COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Espresso For the Love of Coffee and Crema HE FIRST TASTE OF ESPRESSO is like “enveloping the tongue T in velvet pajamas,” according to David Schomer of Seattle’s Espresso Vivace, or having “our tongues painted with many little droplets of oil,” in the words of Marino Petraco, a senior re- search scientist at illycaffè and a lecturer at the Università del Caffè in Trieste, Italy. That’s how two coffee authorities from two coffee capitals describe the silky coating left on the taste buds by the fi rst deposit of espresso crema. Espresso, Ital- ian for “express,” can be explained as “fast coffee.” The word is also associated with espressamenta, meaning “expressly” (as in a coffee “expressly for you”). What- ever the interpretation, espresso indicates the high-pressure extraction of coffee. And the thick surface layer of reddish- brown crema is the hallmark of a well- prepared cup. No espresso machine can extract desir- able aromas—caramel, chocolate, fl oral, fruity, smoky, earthy—not already pres- ent in the coffee. Not the fi rst espresso machine, a steam-driven cylindrical pro- totype patented in 1901 by Italian engi- neer Luigi Bezzera. Not the piston-driven 16 mechanism fi rst manufactured in the late theater with tasting tables, video confer- 1940s by Achille Gaggia, nor the pump- encing, and up to four interpreters sitting driven models developed since. But the behind glass booths, translating Petraco’s macchina is one of the four m’s—the oth- Italian poetry into various languages.

  • My Passion Was Born Over Fifteen Hundred Years Ago. As Legend Has
    My passion was born over fifteen hundred years ago. As legend has it, an abyssinian goatherd named Kaldi found his mischievous goats dancing wildly around a shrub with waxy green leaves and clusters of dark red berries. Tasting the fruit, Kaldi joined in the berry-induced frenzy. Soon after, a learned imam from a local monastery passed by and took notice of the eccentric behavior triggered by these berries. He brought the berries back to his monastery and subjected them to a series of tests including parching and boiling. The elixir he created was soon distributed to other monasteries in Arabia Felix to be used as a stimulant during late hours of prayer. Over the next several years the beverage spread throughout the world. Coffee was born. Since then, coffee has become one of the most traded commodities in the world, second only to oil. The development of the espresso machine in 1855 transformed the coffee world. Its creator, Edward Loysel de Santais, aspired to brew coffee faster, but the true potential of espresso was not realized until the development of high-pressure espresso pumps a hundred years later. When properly brewed, espresso should taste similar to the aroma of freshly ground coffee. In the extraction process, water is pushed through the packed espresso, forcing volatile aromatics into a golden, creamy layer called the crema, which rests above the espresso. The volatile aroma remains trapped in the crema for a brief thirty seconds, waiting to be consumed, before it dissipates into the air. Espresso should be dark-red, thick like honey, and have a golden-red crema.

Baristas: The Artisan Precariat A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Labour Studies at The University of Waikato by Gemma L Piercy 2018 i ABSTRACT My research on the work identit(ies) of baristas demonstrates that different workplaces, in conjunction with individual biographies, produce different kinds of work identities. Connected to these differences are the actual and perceived levels of skill and/or social status ascribed to workers within the service work triadic relationship (customers, co- workers/managers and workers). The higher the level of skill or social status, the greater the capacity of workers to experience more autonomy in their work and/or access improved working conditions. These findings are informed by my research approach, which incorporates three key methods: key informant interviews; observation/participant observation; life history interviews; all of which is underpinned by the mystory approach and autoethnography.

  • Frothing Milk
    MILK & LATTE ART A Guide to Preparing Milk SOME BACKGROUND It's hard to pin down when exactly latte art was invented, or who invented it. Coffee geek lore has it that Espresso Vivace's David Schomer was the first American to really nail it back in the mid-eighties. In Italy, meanwhile, a gentleman named Luigi Lupi was doing the same thing around the same time. One thing's for sure, though: Developing perfect latte art is a bit like beginning an exercise regimen. Things may start out a little awkward and puffy, but you're guaranteed steady (if modest) progress if you hang in there. Though there is disagreement within the coffee world about what milk's proper texture ought to be, we (along with pretty much all the other specialty coffee companies) prefer to craft a silky “microfoam” – something akin to wet paint or “white chrome”, as Schomer himself put it all those years ago. YOU WILL NEED: Ceramic or Paper Cup Stainless Steel Pitcher Espresso Machine & Steam wand Thermometer Fresh Milk 1 STEP 1 If you have a 350 ml pitcher, fill half of it with milk , this is about half a finger width below the bottom of the nozzle. C R E A T E D B Y L O T 6 1 C O F F E E R O A S T E R S M A L T A 2 STEP 2 Angle the pitcher and so that your steamwand is aimed diagonally into the milk's lower right quadrant. 3 STEP 3 Place the tip of the wand one cm or two below the milk's surface and turn it on.

  • On the Table #28 How to Compete with Starbucks
    Return to Schomer's Table | Café Forum | Cafe | Cafe Music | Lucidcafé Home | Revised: October 16, 2001 On The Table #28 How To Compete With Starbucks Dear cyber reader, Let's start with an observation David Schomer regarding a very successful hamburger franchise called Owner, Espresso Vivace and your McDonalds. Why are people walking in their doors on a host at Schomer's global scale? Is it their gourmet food, personal service, Table@Lucidcafé intelligent counter help conversant in the native tongue of the host country? No, of course not. It is, in part, that you know what you are going to get, (or in my case my kids know what they are going to get), how long it will take, and how much you will need to pay, combined with a convenient location. But there is also a subconscious message being delivered, a little warm nugget of reassurance buried deep in your mind: you are safe and your not going to be poisoned. Acres of stainless steel, high­tech cash registers and the smell of Simple Green wrap you into gently against the great bosom of the corporate mothership. This is what corporate food and coffee concepts do very well. They are ubiquitous and reassuring. So to begin our analysis we will talk about professionalism in your service, presentation, and cleaning standards so that you can begin to gather customers from the corporate mothership. Along the way we will analyze Starbucks coffee style, location acumen, sense of place, and quality of service and offer you, the talented independent, tools to defeat them on every front.
