Hello!!, my name is Amilcar, Im 18 years old and Im a barista and law student from Venezuela, this is my first post in hive, so please tell me if you have any suggestion about the blog...
Morning
Well, I will start from the beginning, I wake up at 5:30 am and immediately I heat the water in the kettle until it reaches 94 to 97 degrees Celsius, then I preheat the French press (For the coffee I use 18g with a medium grind for 600ml of water); after preheating the French press I put the coffee and pour the water while trying to get all the coffee in contact with the water, then I let it infuse for 3 minutes and press. (sometimes I like to put a little of cinnamon to the infusion)
Afternoon
After my morning routine, I go work (actualy I work at a cafe where I can lern and practice barismo), during my afternoon break I like to drink a mocaccino or a roman espresso, but a pair of days of the week, I decide to drink something different, or rather, to experiment with.
night
I rarely decide to drink coffee at night, but sometimes I have long nights of study or long nights of conversation with family or friends, then I decide to drink something that gives me energy and that I can share with others; the drink can vary from night to night, sometimes it's a simple american on the rocks and sometimes it can be an irish coffee.
The important thing here is that the night may be the moment of the day where I have more time to spend with others, so I like to prepare and drink coffee in those moments with the persons who are with me.
So this is all for today, thank you for reading me, if you have any comment or suggestion I really want to read it; Oh! also all the photos in the post were taken by me, then if you like it you can follow me on Instagram; well, see you later!!.
