A thought on Chris Tacy's comparison of good coffee to the microbreweries and of "surly bartenders" to the barista...
ReplyDeleteMicrobrewers have control of their product until it is in its final form: the bottle. A roaster doesn't have that luxury. They depend on the barista to pull the shot and make the drink great. A bad bartender won't ruin a great beer, but a bad barista might well ruin a great coffee.
Although the industries share some core requirements (passion, craftsmanship, quality, etc.) it might be a mistake to try and model coffee after the microbreweries. The distribution and delivery mechanisms are not the same.
Just my opinion...
Sweet now I have Andrew Barnett and the French Laundry's #s ;-) Very smooth of you Nick!
ReplyDeleteGot to be said I think I'd rather listen to a latte art psychic than listen to the AA Cafe podcast.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get as far as the stuff which was just plain wrong, I tried more than one of them to see if they improved... they didn't.
I love this article.
