Coffee break time!
For several months I have started to use a coffee subscription program called Trade Coffee.
It is pretty cool when you start you take a coffee personality/ preference quiz. I am grouped into the category of “The Classics.” With a hint of something different from time to time but nothing too out there. The coffee is roasted to order from different locations across the country.
If I drink too much of the same brand and flavor of coffee or espresso usually I'll gain an immunity over it. When the caffeine level won’t faze me. So I like to change it up before this happens.
Usually I’ll drink 4 shots of espresso, but with Cuvee I can only drink 3 shots. This one is pretty strong but flavorful. I like my coffee stupid strong. One time a co-worker sipped my coffee and was like wow this is strong and definitely not my coffee. it When I am out of town, I like to visit the local coffee shop along with the art store. Its nice I can try different coffees without investing too much or really going out of my way to get something different. In time I want to upgrade my esspresso machine and invest in other coffee making methods.
Sometimes it is an experiment to see which bean is better as a coffee or espresso.
These ones in my opinion are not as good as espresso but good as coffee. The only one here I did not like is the Irving Farm one.
Every place I have worked at I have started some sort of coffee club.
One of my former co-workers and I joked that if we opened a coffee shop (lemonade stand style). We’d only have 4 things. 1 shot, 2 shot, 3 and 4 shots of espresso. No milk or sugar sorry yo. Just straight espresso and nothing else, no stirers either.
I considered being a barista before but I can’t stand picky difficult non-coffee drinkers with their demands: skinny soy latte with 5 shots of strawberry, 12 creams 12 sugars. I kicked someone out of the coffee club once when this chick flipped out on me when I brought back her coffee. That I brought back vanilla instead of “French Vanilla.” Honestly I didn’t know the difference back then but that shouldn’t of matter.
Then again it is my pet peeve when some one is unnecessarily a picky food orderer. If they are picky and non-negotiable it tells a lot of one’s personality. I used to work in the food industry and usually picky food orderers isn’t someone I want to be friends or work with.
One of my former clients was like that, always asking and assigning me rush jobs when it could of been avoided. With certain jobs no matter how much you pay me the amount will not sooth the annoyance level of dealing with you. There was always some sort of dramatic scene when we would go out and eat. Every time I was embarrassed that something stupid happened. It is fine if you are picky but if you can’t take the time to articulate what you want then there is a problem with your communication. And then showing up at my door unannounced on a Sunday, Sunday is the day of rest and sleep.
Just sayin’ *Ahem if you say I referred you, you get a coupon and I get a coupon.

| I got this one yesterday, so far I only tried it as coffee but not espresso. I'll give it more time but so far I am not impressed. |
