Im a Barista!!

"I'll take a skinny, decaf, double shot, extra hot Latte with a sugar-free vanilla shot and one pump of Hazelnut, please.. to go.."

WHAT!??

So after weeks of non-success in the employment business I get a call for an interview - two days later I go for a trial shift.. and TA DAAAAA, I land myself a job as a barista at Costa Coffee!!

When asked mid interview "Why Costa after five years in food retail?" I responded along the lines of wanting to try something new, and I feel that I'm a quick enough learner to take new challenges onboard.. something I totally believed until I learnt the facts of coffee making in all its glory! WOW there's a lot to know, considering I didn't think some things ordered yesterday even existed, (see above) and with not being a huge coffee lover myself. Butttt it's something to embrace and hopefully I'll get there soon enough!



I wish I could say I created such an elegant cuppa as the one above.. but my first cappuccino was pretty good, so I've been told.

This really is going to be a storm in a teacup - so fingers crossed!!
