Then find some coffee utensils, such as bean grinder, mocha pot, handmade pot, French filter press pot, siphon pot, flower drawing tube and so on. , it is estimated that about 2000 yuan; Third, individuals should spend time collecting and sorting out study materials, groping step by step according to books and auxiliary online videos, making coffee cup by cup and trying to drink.
In this process, if you don't understand anything, you can go to the forum to post for help, go to the cafe to exchange experiences, and of course, you can also go directly to the cafe to ask the "old driver"!
