“I’ve been a barista at The Nest for 7 years. Every morning, I get in bright and early to start my preparation work - I test and taste the espresso to make sure that it’s ready for the customers. It’s important to hit the very delicate balance of flavours; sweet, sour and bitter. Personally, my go-to coffee is a cappuccino. Whenever there is a bit of downtime at work, I like to hone my coffee-making skills. I practise my latte art and learn how to get the perfect texture of steamed milk. I like to keep my skills sharp. I would describe myself as confident, ambitious and, at times, witty - when I’m in the right mood. I am also hardworking and task-oriented. I love coming in to work every day and to keep busy. What I like most about working here are my colleagues, because they are also my good friends. I also have a lot of regular customers who come in just for my coffee. I’ve read somewhere that drinking coffee can increase longevity - not sure why, but maybe you can give it a try!”
