I was a barista in the early 90s, in Seattle. That sounds like it should mean something, but it doesn't. I wasn't very good at it. I once talked to my boss about pursuing further training on the exquisite art of pulling shots, but her position was that it wasn't needed, because she already showed me how to "run the machine."
That said, I wasn't interested enough to go get the training on my own dime, so what does that tell you.
Now you can spend hours watching instructional videos and product reviews online, and believe me, I have. For an obsessive with a love of toys and gadgets, it's a real slippery slope. I can only imagine how much more energy I'd be expending on it if I had caffeine in my system.
