Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
To be a good Barista doesn't only take being friendly and smiley and "listening to their lonely tales of life". There is definitely going to be ppl coming in wanting their coffee a certain way, for example... no foam, extra foam, flavor certainties and so on, not only that, its best to think of it as yourself going in and paying for what your making them, make it a little hotter then what they'd sip right away, because it will last longer, which is 160, unless they request lower... fill it a little over the top, with foam, so they sip that top layer of espressos foam off the top before they put the lid on and think "omg, that is good" Barista skills, coffee making, and customer, are more important then they seem... and doing it well is a talent, that's all i have to say, peace and good luck to all that come across this ;)
