Description

http://www.ristrettotime.com This is not a step-by-step guide (buy a book for that)! This is a journey and I walk you through the situations you will face and show you how I did it, where I succeeded or messed up. If you dream of owning your own coffee shop, this podcast is for you! I started my own coffee shop from scratch, without having any experience -- just the dream! First time I made an espresso with a commercial espresso machine, was when I installed one at the shop.
