This is the perfect website for me. I haven't been doing the coffee thing for as long as some people, but I already know now that it's something I love, and I would be perfectly happy to do it for as long as I'm working. Eventually, one day, I'd like to own my own coffee shop(s) - as well as some other businesses, business is kind of a passion of mine, although it might seem slightly boring. In highschool marketing was my favorite class and my orginal major going into college was Entrepreneurial Management. I would've liked to stick with that major but it required too many math credits and honestly, I am not a math person...at all. Anyways, like I was saying, I dig the coffee.
Right now I'm particularly interested in competitions and latte art. At the coffee shop I work at we don't focus a lot on latte art, namely because the stores I work at are drive thru only so almost all of our drinks go out with lids. Sometimes I'll try and make a heart or a flower when I'm making a latte, but no one's really shown me how it's done or the different things you can do. In addition to this, I think it would be radical to compete, but I have no idea how to get started or what level you need to be at or anything.
Well, those are all my thoughts for now!
