Peter was off campus at his uncle's new place for the weekend and I felt like opening our student cafe. So on Saturday night I did; with Jon pulling the shots and myself on milk. We had our busiest night of the year so far. We had 25 customers! in just over an hour! it was so insane, all we could dream of was how much nicer it will be when we have a grinder that pumps out the same grind every time, a machine that doesn't keep stopping for the boiler to come on, and a machine that has a steam wand longer than 1 inch that has variable steam speed and takes less than 2 minutes to steam! Something more like a two group Synesso Syncra would be ideal. We used 6 litres of milk, usually we only go through about 4! We had about 20 lattes, 3 mochas and 1 americano and 1 americano misto.

I will post a series of pictures detailing our equipment, I find what we use quite amusing when we look at our results! The picture is of a latte I made for Ferdinand from Greenland before we opened for a last minute practice.

Off to play water polo!
