A word for the work.
Barista comes from Italian. It is widely used for the person preparing and serving coffee. At P.S. Coffee, that role will sit at the centre of the Pod.
Start with the recipe.
A recipe specifies the ingredients and method for a drink. Dose, yield, time and temperature depend on the coffee, drink and equipment. Learning the recipe is part of learning the cup.
Know the equipment.
The grinder, espresso machine and daily cleaning routine all need attention. We are developing the preparation and training plan alongside the first menu.
Taste the result.
Preparation needs a feedback loop: make the drink, taste it and understand what to adjust. A familiar order should be worth returning for.
Explain it plainly.
The Menu describes what is in the cup. Black is coffee without milk; White is coffee with milk. Green introduces matcha and Strong the protein drinks. The Letter gives you starting points, with The P.S. variants behind them.
Care in the handover.
The work includes the conversation at the counter. Understanding the order and handing over the right cup are part of the service we are preparing.
The first Pods.
We are building in and around workplaces, campuses, gyms and nearby corners in Ahmedabad. Training, recipes and preparation are part of that work. The person making the cup matters.
Help make the first cups.
We are looking for people who care about the cup and want to learn the systems behind it. If you want to prepare the coffee, run a Pod or help develop the service, tell us about your work.
