Ariadna Vigo<p>Today I was put to test by two professional baristas at the helm of a professional setup without prior warning 🤣 I just was attending a cupping session at a coffee shop where I'm a regular and suddenly after everything was over... </p><p>"Ariadna, you want some coffee?"<br>"Oh, thank you"<br>"Come over here, let's see your skills"</p><p>There I was, in front of a professional grinder. "Dial the beans in." Then I had to confront my destiny against a professional Faema espresso machine.</p><p>I have NEVER worked as a barista. I'm a good amateur cupper and have competed at the local AeroPress championship. I have a good background about coffee, especially filter coffee, that's it.</p><p>First cup, bad. Overextracted. 31 secs shot.<br>Second cup, nicely balanced. 28 secs.</p><p>Not bad for a first time 🤓</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/coffeenerd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>coffeenerd</span></a></p>
