Brewing Methods: From French Press to Espresso

Brewing coffee is an art, and the method you choose significantly impacts the flavor and experience of your cup. The French Press, also known as a press pot or plunger pot, is a popular method for those who enjoy a rich, full-bodied coffee. This method involves steeping coarse coffee grounds in hot water for about four minutes before pressing the grounds out using a metal or plastic plunger. The result is a robust coffee with a heavy mouthfeel, capturing the essential oils and fine particles from the coffee grounds. On the other hand, the Espresso method is renowned for its ability to create a concentrated, intense coffee experience. This method forces hot water through finely-ground coffee at high pressure, usually around nine bars. The process takes about 25-30 seconds and produces a small, strong shot of coffee with a layer of crema on top—a creamy, golden foam that adds to the flavor and texture. Espresso forms the base for many popular coffee drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. Both brewing methods have their unique characteristics and are suited to different tastes and preferences. Whether you prefer the richness of a French Press or the intensity of an Espresso, understanding these methods allows you to tailor your coffee experience to your liking.

PSA for those writing coffee shop AUs, bakery AUs, etc.

I have worked in the food service industry for 20 years and I just wanted to make an informational list of common mistakes or misconceptions I see in writing about said industry. Not trying to be a jerk, just thought I would try to make a helpful list! I will add more if I think of any and please feel free to ask any questions you may have!

- it's cookie dough, not cookie batter. Doughs are for thicker stuff, typically something you can pick up in your hand (cookies, bread). Batters are more liquid and pourable (cakes, brownies, muffins)

- one person cannot make all the products from scratch and bake everything themselves unless they are a very slow business. Most of the time someone has a specific thing they do weather it's focused on specific products or split up like one person does the batters/doughs, one person preps and bakes, one person decorates. Sometimes one person does multiple things but generally not every single thing every day by themselves

- Front of House = people interacting with customers like barista, waiter, person at the register. Back of House = people making the food (line cook, baker, etc), dish washer (the worst job in the world, I salute all dishwashers everywhere)

- if they're doing stuff like bagels, doughnuts, breakfast pastries, cinnamon rolls, bread, etc they are there EARLY. Depending on the product some people start working at 2 in the morning. I saw a published book that had someone making dozens and dozens of cinnamon rolls from scratch in like one hour. Not possible even though I wish it was

- frosting, icing, and glaze are all different things. Frosting is the thicker stuff you see on cakes and cupcakes. Icing is typically for cookies, especially the decorated cut out sugar cookies. Glaze is thin, like what you get on doughnuts

- 99% of people who work in the food service industry will immediately go home and shower. I've seen lots stories where the character gets done at work and goes out. You are covered in various substances with powdered sugar in places you didn't know it could get, a shower before Literally Anything is a must
