Coffee art

I’ve watched videos. I’ve seen pictures.

I had questions and even briefly thought, “That’s kinda cool,” until I experienced it. I’ve had it handed to me over the counter at a couple different places and now I just kinda think, “Stop doing this crap.”

Who exactly is this for, me or the barista?

I don’t really think it is for me, honestly. I has to be for the barista but I can’t pin-point why…

For me, it doesn’t increase the taste of the coffee. It doesn’t increase my enjoyment of the coffee. It doesn’t give me “the feels” to have some cutesy picture or image in my coffee as I proceed to consume it. It does, however, appear to make by steaming hot cup of joe…cooler, and less enjoyable. I wanted it hot, not lukewarm because it took you an extra two minutes to draw a picture in my beverage.

For the barista, does it make you feel good about yourself? Does it help your self-image to give someone a cooler cup of joe? It there some special place in heaven (or hell) that awards you for your handiness with cold foam coffee art?

I don’t know. I just can’t stand it and it bugs me to no end that people waste time and good coffee to practice this stuff.

JUST GIMME THE JOE AND STOP PLAYING WITH MY FOOD/DRINK.

Why does vacation go so fast?

I think we all ask this question at one point. Actually, we all asked it as kids each year when school was about to start again and we just weren’t done with summer.

Well, now well into the “adulting years”, I have to ask that question at the end of each vacation, no matter whatever it was that I was doing. Obviously in most cases, I was enjoying myself and don’t want it to end.

Adulting sucks. Going back to work after vacation sucks. Actually, having a job sucks…
