are you familiar with this dude, absolute maestro but keep the hell out of his way...#inthezone
What a legend.
Usually I'm concerned when ordering a coffee from someone who leaves the milk to froth by itself like that, but I'd say he's on top of it here.

I wouldn't want to work at that pace for too many hours! He must be a little bummed about that last coffee and those 3 seconds. In all a pretty impressive feat.
He let's that milk spin for a long long long time...if I left it that long on the machine I currently use it would burn.
He isn't cleaning much of the previous shot from the portal filter between shots with that brush.
His shots are dropping pretty much perfect times at the start, but speed up a bit as he rushes towards the end.
His latte art is pretty good, excellent when you factor in all the handling and faffing about the milk cops.
I am very curious how one of those tastes.

I can go full Karen
I don't have a video but it's pretty easy, egg yolk, cream, caster sugar and vanilla extract in your milk jug and away you go. No curdling, no piss farting around with double boilers and done awesomely in no time.No, but please record and post a link for the video. We have to see this one
You can also do scrambled eggs but nah, you will end up with egg on your face.

Nice work, but...
PP when was the last time you had 10 full cream caps in a row?
These days you’re more likely to see 2 full, 2 skim, 2 soy, 1 almond, 1 lactose free, 1 coconut and an oat version. They would be in 3 different sizes needing multiple shots per cup and probably half would be in a random array of byo vessels which may or may not fit under the group head.
If anything is making coffee more expensive it’s that there’s now double the wages behind every machine to keep up with the demand for novelty milk

Milk roulette is a real thing. Wait til some dim witted arse hole asked for 50/50...and you're supposed to guess what they mean! Half full cream half skim, half soy half almond, half skim half soy, how about 100% pure man milk and you fuck off? No shit I was told "it's a thing, they do it at McDonald's." now according to my boss it wasn't polite to point out that McDonald's and their customers aren't known for being at the cutting edge of coffee craftsmanship...
I've mentioned before I have a regular group of 20-25 people come in together. A few times I've been stuck solo when this happens and if I really push my arsehole out I can take their orders, sustain polite chit chat with each of them, remember most of their names, make their drink of differing sizes/nature/milk/temp/sugars, and whip up their toast/bananabread/similar and have a smile on all their faces in about 35 minutes, if most of them are happy to grab their drinks from my counter. But that is flat out ball busting work that nobody enjoys. Cleaning up after they leave is another mega job.
And if you have never spilt hot soy milk on yourself, you haven't lived.

Currently have in my care three busted commercial grinders (saved from land fill) and not one espresso machine.
Was offered a busted commercial three group machine, but stupidly at the time passed it up.
That’s fucked up. Need to do something about this and get espresso at home again.
I always loved the Sunbeam espresso machine I used to own. It had a pressure gauge between the pump and the head, it was phenomenal for getting the grind and tramp just right.

Is an espresso/macchiato not a thing these days? All these milk drink snobs kinda make me laugh. You can pull any crappy sort of shot swamped in milk and they think it’s great.. It’s warm milk flavoured with coffee in most cases..
