I'm not doing a whole lot of traveling at the moment, because I got a job working as a barista at a little cafe in the mall. I'm learning how to make all the fancy espresso drinks they serve at starbucks.
Lattes are a lot harder than they look. You have to know how long the shot should take to pour(the pull), or it will come out too bitter or burned. To control the pull, you have to grind the beans just right. Then you have to do the milk, which is an art in and of itself. You heat it by injecting steam into cold milk. If you do it right you get a nice thick foamy froth, do it wrong and you get warm milk with bubbles.
This is my aspiration:

I guess they don't have a machine that automatically knows how much a shot is... I can show you how to make some of those drinks... Miss ya

Very Cool, Very Cool, I'm having
a hard time not drooling over those
latte's and I don't even drink coffee. Too bad the art work can't
have an extended lifetime
If you have any questions I'm sure Connie or Ben could help you out! ;-)
