At Barista-Essentials, coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s part of who we are. Our office coffee corner is where ideas brew, espresso flows, and, let’s be honest, where we spend most of our breaks. So, we thought it was about time to give you a behind-the-scenes look at our daily setup!
The Espresso Machine of Our Dreams
Let’s start with the star of the show: our La Marzocco Linea Micra. A La Marzocco was a dream of Hugo’s for years, and when we finally had the chance to bring it into the office, there was no doubt—we had to get it. And let’s just say: it delivers. Not only does it pull amazing shots, but it also keeps all our cups warm, which we love.
The Perfect Grinder Combo
We run two grinders to keep up with our daily coffee needs:
- The Niche Zero – Perfect for sampling different beans and dialing in new coffees with precision.
- The Eureka La Specialita– Our go-to workhorse for daily brews. Since we’re now a six-person team, single dosing just doesn’t make sense. This grinder helps keep things fast and efficient.
Fresh Beans, Always
Great coffee starts with fresh beans, so we store all our coffee in vacuum canisters. These help preserve freshness, which is a game-changer for consistency and making beans last for as long as possible when we’re constantly testing different roasts and origins.
Testing Our Newest Tools
One of the best things about having a fully equipped coffee station in the office? We get to test our own tools! Right now, we’re experimenting with two exciting new products:
- A pressurized tamper – The first sample just arrived, and we’re loving how consistent it makes our shots.
- A new handle-free milk pitcher – Designed for better latte art control, and honestly, it just feels great to use.
Ofcourse we have all our essentials here like our coffee scale, WDT tool, and our Single Dosing tools like the Dosing Tray, RDT Spray and Dosing Cup.
Our hero: The Dishwasher
Now, here’s the real MVP of the office: our dedicated dishwasher. If you’ve ever worked with a full coffee setup, you know how quickly pitchers, cups, and tools pile up. This investment keeps our space clean and ready for the next round of espresso experiments.
