new job, good coffee

started a new job. it's part time. selling coffee beans at the corner of broadway and aldine. i sit there thinking how the aroma of the store makes we want to jump up and down. coffee is like alcohol. it's addictive. people would come in and ask about our specials. wide-eyed, jittery telling me how they love coffee. ok buddy surely you wouldn't be in here if you didn't. i've never seen so many different gadgets and perculators for coffee. i grew up drinking instant. there's a way of making the right "foam" for a perfect cappucino. i think "foam" is disgusting. it reminds me of dried saliva when you wake up in the morning cuz you drooled all night dreaming of panda bears doing cartwheels. there's a special way to grind coffee, it depends on your coffee maker. auto drip, french press..etc..whatever. sometimes i just don't know what to tell people. "what's good coffee?" anything that compliments your donut in the morning? still learning..it's a low key kinda store and i like it. coffee drinkers are very interesting people.
