i started making cappuccinos as a 14year old runner for a hairsalon ,my job was to retreive coffees for the patrons as well as the owners all day long, as i became aquainted with the coffee shop i loved watching the barrista make me my orders, sometimes i would be there 20 times a day,long story short ,the regular barrista didnt show up, no coffee meant no tips for me,so i went behind the gaggia and made not only my order ,but the owners hired me to fill in for the girls permenately ,now today i own and operate 12 esperto coffee houses and am curently bringing in 12 tons of etheopian beans a year
