I got a million of those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725442 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:22:30 +0000 HLK208 725442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: well, I probably wouldn't have made a heart for anyone if it makes you feel better lol. The leaf was a basic that was a "must" to learn at the coffee shop I worked at and the rest were for fun. Oh, coffee shop days...I'm glad they're in the past!</p> <p>Do you mean like this? Leaf/tree?</p> <p>[attach=1336/13/mlgr1j.348x266.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725428 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:18:19 +0000 lovehoneybee 725428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes....to our tastes, lol. But my tastes are just brewed coffee, quality beans, ground at home and touched with cream, nothing fancy at all. If you asked me to make a cappuccino (or anything more complicated than regular brewed coffee) I'd look at you blankly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725419 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:15:48 +0000 mrbee 725419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: It's my rugged good looks, that's my final answer!!</p> <p>Haha what does it mean that I get a lot of trees in my latte art... is that a hidden message of some kind? Like, you're barking up the wrong tree... that's my best guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725410 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:12:58 +0000 HLK208 725410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: hahaha maybe I shouldn't say that the heart is the easiest to make?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725391 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:07:38 +0000 Rhdscait 725391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked at Starbucks for about 6 months and did pretty well. I never had any complaints. :) However, I've never made coffee outside of that experience. I'm not a coffee drinker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725371 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:01:54 +0000 mrbee 725371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Latte art... is that what it's called?? I always wondered what to call that!</p> <p>Hey if a barista puts a heart in my steamed milk... it means she's in love with me, right? If the answer is no, don't tell me!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725368 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:00:22 +0000 HLK208 725368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: you would think, haha but the quality of the machine is pretty important. I can steam milk nicely and do some latte art but the shots of espresso? Terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725362 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:58:13 +0000 mrbee 725362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Wait, if you worked as a barista... doesn't that mean that your coffee is as good as a cafe?! I'm sure your coffee is way better than mine!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725355 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:56:58 +0000 HLK208 725355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! And I even worked as a barista for 2 years. Maybe if I had a $10,000 espresso machine I could. I have a crappy Starbucks barista coffee maker. There's a reason they discontinued them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-make-coffee-as-good-as-a-cafe#post-725348 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:55:28 +0000 mrbee 725348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can not... working on it though!</p> <p>Can you make coffee as good as a cafe? What's your secret? </p>
