Today, for the first time ever, I walked into my local Starbucks (at the corner of Chambers and Smoky Hill) and the barrista behind the counter looked over at me and confirmed my order before I had even asked...
It's a strange thing, this coffee drinking obsession. When I worked in offices, I was typically one of the only people that didn't drink coffee. It all started to change when I went to work at the corporate offices of a coffee and smoothie franchise. Suddenly I was surrounded by the delicious smell of 100% Kona coffee being brewed.
Eventually I caved and it's been a fast ride ever since. I'm an Americano guy now... something about those 4 wonderful espresso shots and hot water that I just can't resist. So, the next time you're out with me and I'm talking a million miles an hour, take a peek for a cup of coffee... it's probably not far away.

I like your choice of words with "barrista". I definately see my barristas too often as well.
ReplyDeleteHey, blame Starbucks for that title... I think it's probably thrown around way to quickly.
ReplyDeleteI know how to draw a shot... maybe I'm a barrista too ;)
ReplyDeleteAmericano is the only way to go. Anything else is just pointless.
