Tim Wendelboe is a norwegian and world champion in Barista and owns a micro roastery, a coffe training center and an espresso bar. It goes without saying that he knows his coffee.
Today he came to my workplace to teach us all some basic knowledge of brewing espresso and brewing good coffe.
For me, having worked with coffee in over three years, this was exiting and frightening at the same time. This is not the first time I have been coursed, but the most frightening one. Having a man who has worked with coffe for twelve years, have won the NM in Barista as well as the VM and judging my work was a weird experience. For some reason, this made me very unsure and I usually never am about my work. I knew most of the stuf we learned from before, but it was refreshing to have it repeated again with someone who really knows what he is doing.
It was very exiting and educational and I am very happy I got this opportunity, coffe is a part of my life!

Brewing espresso is not a simple task really, it takes effort to make it tasty.
It feels good to be able to once again, tell the difference.
For you who have never worked with coffe in your entire life, I can understand why this is the most boring entry in the whole world, but if you love coffe and wish to work with it,
I can promise you its both fun and challenging (and a little bit exhausting).
Now all thats left is to concentrate on my Latte Art (yes, you can make art with coffe too!).
I know some tricks, and its always pleasing to brighten up someone's day with not only a coffe that tastes good, but also looks good!
How do you like your coffe?
