Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who didn't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it! If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it.
Since beginning my job at Coffee Culture, I have been learning about all the different elements of the coffee world from where the beans are grown and how they are roasted, to latte art and barista competitions. I have been "geek-ing out" on YouTube watching how to make latte art well, how to steam milk well so that good latte art can be made, and just today, I found a video on International barista competitions (on CNN.com of all places).
What I found most interesting about this video is the end when they mention that there is no big prize money, but that there are a few prizes put up my sponsors of the competition. These people do it for the sake of making really good tasting (and good looking) coffee drinks! I think I'm becoming one of them :)
These are some drinks I made at work a few weeks ago. The one above was a latte and the one below was a mocha. I'm getting better! Next time I get the chance I'll have my phone with me to take any pictures of masterpieces :)
