I have been at my new workplace for 3 weeks now and made good progress in getting up to speed in every way but one – their coffee machine.
They have a manual coffee maker that I haven’t used since my Fronde days in 2012, and it has been a struggle to make a half decent coffee. The milk frother screams at me – and the open plan office – whenever I try to heat up some milk like a demon escaping from Hell.
It doesn’t help that my teammates are experts and make barista grade flat whites every time.
Thankfully today I managed to get it about right, enough to take it to my colleague for inspection, who rated it a decent 4/10. I will take that!
