Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I drunkenly stumbled into the coffee world last August not knowing shit about coffee. (Espresso...wha...? OH you mean expresso!) Yes, it was an ugly two months. Luckily, I just so happen to start working under one of the few coffee roasters in Houston, Jefferson Fan. He uses a gas electric roaster to make a semi-sweet espresso that makes me hover around the store. Being under Jefferson's rule and being trained by the best co workers I could ever ask for; I have been transformed into a baby coffee brat.
Unfortunately, just as I got promoted to manager position, Jeff had to sell our shop to three very... hm, nice owners but completely stupid about coffee or just how to run a coffee shop in general. Since then I feel as if my experiences have come to a halt to train my bosses instead of myself.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Anywhere and everywhere!!! Texas is all I've ever known; I have never had a chance to see the world, unless it's in books.
Just the fact alone that Walgreens convenient store is only in Texas blows my mind @_@ Where do you guys goooo?!?!!
Although, I figured I'd start out in the states before going to another country.

About Me:

Favorite color: Teal
Ha, what are you supposed to say in these things? My name is Bunny, but you already knew that. I used to be an animation major at Art Institute before it got too expensive. Whenever I am not at Coffee Groundz I spend my time researching movies, reading, drawing, smoking pot at the park, talking about food and above all, drinking with friends... orrrrr without.
All in all, I always say my best days are the days filled with coffee, cigarettes, booze, pot and cuddling. In that order.
