………..Is something I am terrible at. Allow me to elaborate:
I am finally almost finished with my espresso training at the Java House. I can make espresso, Lattes, Mochas, Hot Cocoa, Americanos, and other wonderful treats that are terrible for me, but I still can’t make some things like Capuccinos or Macchiatos, however,I will learn soon. I have made most of these things before, since I had a coffeeshop job before J ta tha H, but the way they make stuff is a lot trickier. At my old job it took me about an hour to learn almost everything, but at Java House it took me two hours to learn to steam milk properly. (When I finally did get it right, I got a round of applause from the 5 or so coworkers who were in the store at the time.) They have really high standards for drink making, and really specific things that they want you to do when you make things like espresso and steamed milk. If you make a Latte that is too foamy, then you have to throw it out and start over again (and who wants to be all bloated and farty from a foamy latte anyway?) At first it was really intimidating, and my first training session was a little terrifying, but the second one was really fun. It’s really cool and challenging to try and make a perfect drink.

I am probably coming off as a coffee snob, or a Java House tool to all of you guys who don’t know me that well, (and some of you that do, I know my g-f has said something to that extent…) It’s just a cool skill and I am proud to have finally picked it up.

FUCK I AM LATE FOR CLASS
