珈琲日和。

◆Coffee Class in Starbucks Coffee◆

今日はスターバックスコーヒーが主催するコーヒーセミナーへ。
朝からお天気でいい日曜でした。
そして花粉症も絶好調。

数年前になりますが、シドニーにいた頃
地元のカフェで開催されていた講座にも参加したことのある私。
エスプレッソマシーンの使い方などは教わったことがあるのです。
なので今回はハンドドリップの講座に参加しました。
（オーストラリアはシアトル系強し。ハンドドリップは少数派かも。）

◆I had a coffee class which was hold by Starbuck Coffee.It was sunny day since morning and my hay fever also perfectly horrable!

I used to have espresso coffee class when I was in Sydney and then I learnt how to make perfect cuppcino with espresso machines.It was wnderful experience which was like I was a barista! This class today is how to make nice coffee with paper dripping style.

最初にコーヒーの種類についてのお話と、
おいしい淹れ方についての簡単な説明。
その後、デモンストレーションを見て、実際に自分で淹れてみました。
自分の今までの間違いとコツがわかってすっきり！
（でもお腹はコーヒーでいっぱい・・・・）

終盤にはお店のザッハトルテをご馳走になり、満腹、満足！
帰りにコーヒー豆もいただきました。
元喫茶店店主の叔母に電話し、
お古のステンレスコーヒーポットを頂戴！と頼みました。
お礼はおいしいコーヒーで。

知らない人と出会う時間、新しいことを知る時間。
それが私の生活のサプリメント。

◆Firstly, we heard about growing areas and characteristics of coffee beans.It was very interesting!The main parts of those are Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.All parts are situated around the equator.After that, we were lectured how to make beautiful coffee with paper dripping roughly and easily.Then we tried to do it by ourselves.I learnt some mistakes which I used to make and tips.All cleared!Wow!

We were served chocolate cake with fresh cream.Staff said this cake was the best conbination with this coffee which we used today.Afterward, we received coffee beans to make another cup of coffee at home.On the way to home, I called to my aunti who used to own cafe before and asked to give me old coffee pot that was in her cafe.I'll make nice coffee for her in return.

Having the time to meet new people,
having the hour to know something new is supplement of my happy days.
