all good advice Thanks, i gess i need to express with my boss the time is the only proven method which i already knew, Teaching the boss is as the rookies because we all learn from mistakes much better than frm a easy glide rite, I have found that labeling the machinery is one of the better ways, but I hate how it looks even with a ee marzocco and swift some kids just dont understand the basic sicence behind it all, Repertition repertition repertition, some get it straight away too, Gotta take the good with the not so good, THanks all

I agree with Ricky in the sense that new hires should not instantly be thrown onto bar (if time and need for employees permits). However, I do not feel that trainees should be segregated from the espresso machine for months. While the trainee is learning about how the store operates they should also be familiarizing themselves with the coffee, the way it tastes, looks, smells, and how to identify when a drink is being prepared correctly. I take a very kinesthetic approach to my training allowing people to make mistakes and taste them, examine them to see where they could be improving. Instead of methodically yelling commands at them and making someone feel inadequate and second guess their natural abilities, I focus on the small improvements trainees make. As far as grind goes, the only way someone will ever begin to understand is if they pull shot after shot, making small adjustments to the grind and the other factors that go into a nice shot of espresso and finally, tasting them! When they are pulling consistant good shots, let them help out on bar a little. Training might not be done but at least the trainee can start to build their muscle memory.

Well I guess if you can't take the time to properly introduce your baristas to espresso preparation techniques then you had better only hire well trained, experienced baristas. If you are finding that your training methods are producing mediocre baristas and you can't give any more time or effort into training them, then you need to only hire experienced ones that already know that turning that stepless dial is a teeny tiny little twist at a time.
