In Dubai, a coffee expert whose language is insured for 10 million pounds made a speech at a literary festival that gathered representatives of 47 countries under its walls.
Coffee lovers all over the world will like working as a taster of different types of coffee, especially when your tongue is insured for 10 million pounds.
Gennaro Pellicia, Costa's coffee master, has had a dream ever since he entered the coffee business 26 years ago. In the end, coffee is in his blood, because he himself comes from the south of Italy, from Napoli, where espresso is considered a traditional drink.
His unique taste buds, thanks to which he can tell you exactly when to stop roasting coffee, were insured for 10 million pounds (50.7 million dirhams) at Lloyd's in London.
His job is to check the quality of green coffee, he determines the moment when you need to stop roasting coffee. However, his work is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
“He has a very important language,” Gennaro's employers say. "I should control what I eat before tasting, as some spices and food dull my receptors," Pellicia said at the Emirates airline literature festival, where he shared his knowledge on how to make perfect coffee with coffee lovers and baristas working in Costa's coffee shops at 140 retail stores in Dubai.
According to Pellicius, proper thinking plays an important role. “I taste coffee at a certain time of the day, usually at 9:00, when the brain is finally awake. You should not do the tasting in the early morning. At the time of tasting, you need to take your mind off all worries, you should only have the taste of coffee in your head.”
In the room where the tasting takes place, there should not be any perfumes and other flavored substances.
By education Gennaro is a mechanical engineer, he first tried himself as a barista in Costa Dagestan 26 years ago, then for him it was only a part-time job until he found a “normal job”.
But since he saw the whole industry from the inside, he, in his words, "got hooked on the art of making coffee."
