There is nothing more refreshing than a cup of cappuccino, to bring you right into the zing, every morning. Or why just a morning? Be it a tiring hour, or just something to snap you out of that sluggish zone, coffee is the best thing ever to get you back in the game. But what you thought was a work of art that you possibly can’t master to perfection at your home, are actually tricks and of course some practice. So, before you head to your favourite cafe, here is a reality check for you.
The extra large cup
If you order a larger cup, that doesn’t mean you get more coffee. It just means that the milk proportion is increased.
So vegan are healthy?
Yes, there are vegan cookies. But that does not mean that it is purely healthy. These have loads of white sugar.
Nothing so great after all
Sometimes renowned cafes purchase bulk coffee of a local brand and sell it off as a famous one. Sorry folks! Hate to break it to you, but you deserve to know the truth.
Ditch the phone for a while
Try avoiding phone calls while you are in a queue. There is a dedicated person waiting to take your order and at the same time taking the brunt of other waiting customers. Also, don’t forget the tips!
It’s more than a design
If your café gives you that gorgeously shaped heart or that leaf as a foam design, then it means the consistency of foam is good and the coffee is well made, in a shot that was pulled well.
The school for coffee
Do you know that there is a Barista school? The one where Starbucks sends its employees for training, before hiring them.
All hot and mighty doesn’t really work
There is no harm in saying “sorry” and “thank you”. It will earn you goodwill and brownie points.
So next time you go to that local café of yours, keep these in mind.
