His steamed milk could be improved to get a better consistency for latte art but overall, it reminds me of my time working as a barista at Soma Chocolatemaker. When I first started working there back in November 2012, I knew absolutely nothing about coffee. Learning how to make espresso, lattes, and cappuccinos was so intimidating, especially when the lineups would start forming. The worst were the handful of people who ordered "bone-dry" cappuccinos! Eventually though, I loved working the lunchtime rush of coffee orders and getting into a rhythm of making drinks. Ironically, I hated the taste of coffee and never drank any myself even though we were allowed to make ourselves a drink anytime.
Fast forward a year later to being a student again. McDonalds had their free coffee promotion and my friend encouraged me to try a "double double" - 2 creams and 2 sugars. It was so good! I always thought coffee tasted too bitter but I guess my taste buds changed.
Now, I'm officially a coffee fan. Instead of ordering small sizes, I'm getting larges. I blame it on being a full-time student. I ordered a double double the other day (and won a free donut at Tim Hortons "Roll up the Rim"!) and it was way too sweet. It tasted like a dessert! I'm a 2 milks, 1 sugar girl now. I'm trying to see if I can cut out sugar altogether. If only I could rewind back time and make myself more lattes at Soma. I wasted the opportunity for free drinks! I guess I made up for it with all the scoops of gelato I used to eat....
