The happy barista




Here's the barista that served us at Colorado Coffee Merchants the other day (see yesterday's post). He looks pretty happy, right? I suspect that's because he's amped up on about a zillion cups of coffee. He was EXTREMELY helpful and EXTREMELY jazzed to make a latte with an extra shot of espresso for Pat, and a straight decaf for me. EXTREMELY. I thought it was kind of funny!


The bottom picture is the result of all that helpfulness. I finally got to see how they do that. It has something to do with having just the right consistency of steamed milk and pouring it just so into the latte to make this pretty design. The barista wasn't 100% satisfied with his efforts, but I thought it looked pretty good!

We need more people to be happy at what they do. What a difference that would make.

Say, he reminds me of the very enthusiastic Starbucks drive-thru dude at the one near my place! haha Regarding your acid reflux, I've found that I can't drink coffee without eating something comparatively heavy, like eggs, something with both fat and protein. Same deal with alcohol.

So no more coffee on an empty stomach or with just a bite of pastry. Yes, acid reflux, but I think it's also called 'getting old'. Only college students can handle coffee and/or beer on an empty stomach, unfortch! Damn those kids!! LOL :o)
