'Barista Manual 1.0'

By Jeff Katris | Feb 1, 2007

There's precious content inside, but can “Barista Manual 1.0” take the punishment of fieldwork? Before getting our stamp of approval, the “Manual” got a whoopin' in our espresso lab. Here, a 30-second blast from the steamwand.

Vapors beaded up real nice on the glossy cover. A quick wipe down negates the corrosive effects of most errant liquids.

Hot coffee, too? Yessiree. If a coffee training book can't handle a little coffee... is it really a coffee training book? Deep thoughts for to ponder.

Clear printing, sturdy paper, and a durable steel coil binding.

Detailed table of contents and tons of room on all pages for your notes.

Stuff you can put to use right out of the box: forms, checklists, and instructions.

You're free to photocopy the forms for repeated use.

Tips and techniques based on decades of combined experience.

Diagrams and illustrations — guaranteed to be less confusing than your 1987 VCR programming guide.

Shiny books on a shiny macchina.
