For all the wannabe baristas

Taken from a link off NOTCOT, this beaut of a poster definitely can come in handy for my attempts at homegrown java drinks.
My $39.oo single press espresso machine from Wal-Mart (yes) has served me well, faring better than a lot of “coffee shops” I’ve been to. And it doesn’t cost me 4 bucks a mocha. I buy espresso roast beans (typically from latté litchfield), grind them in my Mr.Coffee grinder, tamp it with an actual tamper from World Market, pull a double shot, throw in some milk and sugar (I’m too lazy to steam it {unless to impress company}), and heat it up in the microwave. I swear it ranks high despite the meager setup.
