Trained baristas now working at Kindred
This morning Sinead and George from the ‘make mine Milk’ team hosted a coffee morning with a difference – all for a group of very lovely mummy bloggers. After a not too early start and a delicious breakfast- courtesy of the London School of Coffee - our bloggers (Metropolitan Mum, Family Affairs and Other Matters, Babes About Town, The Coffee Lady, Mummys Busy World, Jessica Milln’s Blog, Mummys Shoes) gathered round to learn the art of ‘cupping’ – a technique used to observe the tastes and aromas of different coffees. Being far too polite to use a spittoon but not too ashamed to slurp and gurgle the coffees, our bloggers tasted beans from all around the world.
The next stage of the training revolved around making the perfect Latte and Cappuccino – and this was not easy! The process to coffee perfection is so fine-tuned that some of the creations had a lot to be desired but with a competition looming (after all we had two A-Team rucksacks up for grabs!) the basics had to be mastered.
Next, our bloggers tested their latte art skills which again, was not easy to master but there were certainly some great attempts. Congratulations to Metropolitan Mum who won the prize for ‘best coffee art’ and Family Affairs and Other Matters for the ‘best tasting coffee’.
The morning ended with a natter about ‘make mine Milk’ and of course a fabulous cup of coffee. Thanks again to the London School of Coffee for putting on such a great morning.
