Espresso

Angel Hilliard

The recording shows the normal everyday chatter and background noise that occurs at a public coffee shop. You can hear the chatter of people and sounds that the blenders make to prepare the drinks.

This sound recording starts with a carton of organic soymilk being poured into a metal pitcher. The pitcher is then placed under the steaming wand attached to a Mastrena High Performance Espresso Machine. The steaming wand touches the bottom of the pitcher that contains the milk and is then pulled down to reach just the top of the milk where we hear the liquid ripping noise to create the delightful foam on top of a latte. The last noise that fades out is the steaming wand being cleaned by letting out steam into a sanitized cloth. Recorded in Starbucks on an IPhone 6S.

A barista pulls a double espresso shot at a local cafe. The machine grinds the beans and dispenses the ground espresso into the handle. Recorded on an iPhone 6s.

Entonces se grabo el vapor que salía de la máquina para hacer el cafe. English: I asked the worker if I could record the sounds made by the espresso machine when the worker made coffee. Then the steam coming out of the machine to make the coffee was recorded.
