Finished school, I'm living in San Francisco, and I want to work in the coffee industry. I have no professional food industry experience, and it seems all my applications get shot-down (expectantly, right?). 


(My work experience - three years as an usher and one year tutoring at schools.)


What are someways to get hired/trained/learn about espresso?


I'm THIS CLOSE to buy a home espresso machine just to practice shots and steaming milk. Huge waste, gah, gah, gah! I already grind from a Virtuoso for my morning pour-over w/ my skillet-roasted beans (my roast has very funky results.)
