How To Make Every Coffee Drink | Method Mastery | Epicurious

[NomiAtraydes]

My proudest moment was working at a national bookstore coffee shop and making a flat white that resulted in an Australian saying it reminded them of home and how surprised they were that I made it so well in the states for them.

these are the best type of “experts”! usually when someone knows a lot about something they can be very pretentious, so it is very refreshing to see two lovely women that have so much knowledge about coffee but still seem very friendly!

[waveymattdavey]

Well since you've used the same machine I have at home, I'm going to have to admit that it's definitely not the machine's fault that my espresso doesn't come out as nice and this.

[jameshoffmann]

So happy to see Sum and Kaleena in this video! Had some fantastic coffee and hospitality when I visited Coffee Project earlier this year!

[deseuryderia]

i like these people. they’re more “use what works” than “you need this $1000 machine” coffee hipsters.

[cecerip]

I just started my first barista job and was immediately overwhelmed with all the different drinks. This has been so helpful! Thank you!

[ter]

i love how they nod when either of them are talking like
"yes. that is correct. so proud of you"
instead of "👁👄👁"

Italian: for every 1ml of milk we will give the coffee a different name

[gregre]

I’m a barista and at a coffee shop in Italy (we call them “bar”).
These are Italian coffee types:
- normale = standard espresso
- decaffeinato / dec = decaf espresso
- ristretto = short espresso
- ristretto macchiato = short espresso + milk + foam
- macchiato caldo = espresso + milk and foam
- macchiato freddo = espresso + cold milk no foam
- corretto= espresso + liquor of choice
- doppio = double espresso
-schiumato = espresso + only foam
- cappuccino
- marocchino = Cocoa + espresso + milk and foam + cocoa on top
- cappuccino no foam
- latte schiumato = hot milk with foam
- latte = glass of milk

Khaleena and Chi Sum are still awake after this video taken.

[gabrielapontelucci]

My heart skipped a beat when Turkish coffee came up because I'm so used to seeing Western folks butcher it in every video but you guys actually got it right!!

[oharakatie]

I love this. No making people feel bad, not condescending. Just facts and tips. Great video!

[twinglitch]

I love how these two play off of each other! such friendly, inviting energy and wonderful teamwork

[abdelmahamnmoodally]

I went from “how to filet every fish” to now “how to brew every coffee”

[EmanuelaleunamE]

I need Epicurious to explain every wine to me.

Frank is still planting his coffee beans

[danboom]

"this is the best espresso martini I've made... Since yesterday" might be one of the most entertaining lines I've heard from an epicurious video lmao

As a Greek, I can tell you that is not a frappe, but it's rather more like a frappuccino. Frappe is much more simpler than that and a lot of the things added are optional. To make a frappe you take a tall glass, add 1 or more teaspoons of instant coffee and the amount of sugar/ sugar substitute that you desire, along with enough cold water to cover the ingredients. Beat them for like 20 seconds with a hand mixer (preferably an electric one) and then you add ice, water and if you wish, milk (in Greece we add condensed milk). Other variations may include dropping a scoop of vanilla ice cream before adding the water (so 90s') or a good amount of Bailey's Irish cream.

I work at Starbucks and I’m trying to work out where we go wrong

This is art! I had the luck to meet Sum and Kaleena in NYC when I discovered the world of coffee through their hands. As one of the first official students in Sum's Barista & Coffee Brewing programs, I can say they were responsible in bringing joy and reunion to hundreds of families in Brazil. Today as a coffee professional I focus on what they first offered me: not just a coffee drink, but a sensitive and family-like coffee experience. Now with great references thanks to Sum and Kaleena, I can widely spread their words while bringing people together through the finest techniques in coffee extraction. Coffee can be a whole new world to explore, but they showed me it can also be simple and comforting. Thank you, Sum and Kaleena. I'm grateful to say you both are part of my story.
