I was thinking about sleep. i had had a really long day; threw my sleep off; first thing i wanted to do was make a coffee, but I had to talk. I want to get off work go to the park. I like cappuccinos.... because of the new coffee beans I prefer less milk, and I just like our new coffee beans. I like adding honey to the rim, to make it a bit sweeter, because the cappuccino is a little bit bitter.
I was thinking damn don't mess up. Sue's taking pictures. I really like making mochas because the chocolate.... the sugar and fats in the sauce makes it easier to draw prettier things with the milk. Because it makes the consistency almost more oily so when you pour milk in it separates better. I'm addicted to chocolate. It's fun. And I like how the different beans of the coffee mixes different with the SF born-and-raised Ghirardelli chocolate.
With matcha it's more just measuring, and mixing the powder with the hot water, and I think that alone is just fun to make. I'm just a cook in the kitchen, whipping up something. It's a ritual. I love it. And it's muscle memory for me now: first you steam the hot water, mix it in with the matcha powder, then steam the milk, and then you can create your own latte art with that. My favorite thing to do is a heart. That's the only thing I can make.
Nice on ice! Iced Mocha. Mochas are fun, you get to add a little bit of chocolate to them. It's one of the few drinks especially an iced one where you can't screw up on the milk. I've never had a cup of coffe in my life. It's the first thing I tell people when they meet me. I make them, I do the training. It's wild that I still haven't had coffee.
