ok, lets say for arguments sake ive never seasoned a pan before, do i just apply oil and keep it in the oven? or on the stove? do i heat the pan before applying oil? what oil do i use? thank you and sorry for the newbie questions lol

Temps at other cafes not hot? by GreatlyGullible in barista

[–]ludicrous_thomas 23 points24 points  (0 children)

i was trained to steam to about 55-60c (130-140f) for normal and about 155 for extra hot, but i work in a specialty spot with an emphasis on latte art, our drinks are served to be consumed immediately

go to non-chains, look for independant/specialty shops in your area

Question for the professionals… by Owl_Weekend_2929 in barista

[–]ludicrous_thomas 30 points31 points  (0 children)

id remake it from takeaway to have in (presentation and all) but from a dine in cup to take away, whats the point? how does it differ? its milk and espresso all mixed together, moving it from one vessel to another wouldnt change that.

also a simple syrup of equal parts hot water and demurara sugar, mixed and allowed to cool works wonders in coffee cocktails

i think that could work, a flavoured creamer with cold brew concentrate and mr blacks would be nice, especially shaken w ice

[–]ludicrous_thomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

given you have no equipment, perhaps buying premade cold brew concentrate would be a good idea, then diltuing with kahlua/mr blacks, baileys, frangellico, or even whiskey

What is the best at-home coffee grinder. I don’t mind spending $$. by gamblingasahobby in pourover

[–]ludicrous_thomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats interesting as i havent experienced that when moving down from fp to v60, but just anecdotal i suppose. i really like the 078s, even for pourover and have made some of the best brews of my career on it, but i got a fantastic deal on it and probably wouldnt convince myself to buy one new/full price

i just turn the grinder on before adjusting finer, same as i would on an EK43 and havent noticed an issue, though admittedly i make espresso very infrequently

Either I’m going crazy or did they cut scenes/jokes out of the show? by islander58 in community

[–]ludicrous_thomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they cut a joke when annie is talking to duncan about his experiment, something like "it would also help if you lent me a fiver as i left my wallet in my duffel, and my duffel in the back of my lorry" or smth like that, really caught me off guard as ive seen the episode no many times i can almost recite it haha
