There are many little things in life that make me smile. One of which is the knowledge of quality coffee slowly spreading to the masses, especially when it comes in the form of a sleek little iPhone app like Barista from Glasshouse apps. Although there are many improvements that could make this app awesome, it's a great learning tool for any aspiring barista. Barista, gives a simple clean interface with step by step instructions on making many traditional espresso based drinks as well as cleaning, and proper grinding and temp surfing sections. A section on tips and advice, a coffee talk menu with a fairly extensive list of espresso and coffee related terminology, and even the option to attach your own photos to the list of drinks to track your own barista progress. Overall this little app is a great for the beginning barista and those who like the accessibility of step by step instructions and other related coffee info at the touch of a finger. However all of this information and much much more can be found on many of the existing coffee sites. i.e. Coffeegeek.com, Home-barista.com, coffeed.com etc. Major drawbacks of this app is the limited list of more advanced drink builds, the lack of a expandable user section with the ability to upload custom drink builds, a featured equipment section (or just a recommended section in general), and a micro blogging feature to bring a bring a more social interface to the app. Looking forward to what Glasshouse Apps plans to feature in future updates.
