Visited Tribes today whilst in Cork. Really nice place. Nice Elektra Coffee machine.

Negative. I asked the "Barista" what Coffee she was using and she hadn't a clue and couldn't find a bag to find out. :mad:

Are baristas that important?so how long as the coffee isnt brutal im happy plus people dont want mad prices either for fancy coffee

You would be very surprised how bad a Coffee can actually be.

Examples of some KPI's.

How long can Coffee stay in the hopper?
How long can Coffee stay ground before use?
What is the difference in Cappuccino milk and Latte milk?
Which milk jug should you use ^^^ for that milk?
What temp should the milk be?
How do you tamp the Coffee?
How long should the water extraction be from the machine?

If a "Barista" cannot answer those or get near to an answer then the Coffee is going to be bad and badly made. Ok, Joe Customer wont ask those questions but Coffee can be bad.

I know of another Coffee Roaster whom was contacted by Georgina Campbells asking to review his Coffee. He wrote back asking them to provide their accrediations to confirm they can accurately assess his Coffee. He has not head back from them. Fair play to him.

No, just wanted it done by someone who had the ability to review it correctly.
