摆渡修行The barista on that day was a very stylish Japanese uncle (it is said that there was also a Japanese barista who won the German champion two years ago, but I didn't see her that day).
To be honest, no matter how good the beans are + how advanced the roasting is, it's useless if the barista's level is not up to par. A barista with high level can extract a delicious cup of coffee even with ordinary beans, not to mention the icing on the cake coffee made with good boutique beans. This time, I drank several espressos made with JB Kaffee roasted beans. To be honest, after comparing, the level of the barista is clear after one drink: only the espresso here is sour that people don't frown, and it has a very comfortable sour taste. Acidity and aftertaste are both high scores!
Espresso is not a powder pressed, a machine beats, and a cup of it flows out. The coarseness of the bean grinding, the amount of powder used (this Japanese uncle weighs it accurately every time), the strength and compactness of the pressing, the amount of water... etc. are all the barista's level and their own coffee recipe.
- espresso: I was surprised by the amount of espresso in Berlin several times. This time, I asked the uncle and he said double espresso is the default. If you want to order single espresso, you need to tell him. I guess some other boutique coffee shops in Berlin give a lot of espresso for this reason. As I wrote before, only the espresso here is sour and not frowning, and it is a very soft and comfortable sour taste.
- americano: It was too busy and too early that day, so there was no drip coffee, so I ordered an Americano, which tasted and had a very good acidity.Reviews of Freischwimmer

There weren't many people at first, but later it was almost full. Who says foreigners eat quietly? There were a lot of people here, but it felt very friendly.
This used to be a place where celebrities from Berlin gathered. Now it is relatively unpopular, but there are still many diners.
#YourstrulyGermany# If you pursue the quality of food and want to taste the traditional flavor of Berlin, you must go to the Freischwimmer restaurant. This restaurant located on the water pier has always been a beautiful landscape in Berlin. The restaurant serves a variety of traditional Berlin local dishes. Diners can enjoy a delicious, warm and festive dining experience like at their grandmother's home. #SeeYouSoon# #原味德国#
