Distinguishing coffee ✩

Melbourne is the heart of classiness. Since I didn't get to go there this year I will write a post on coffee culture to make up for it =D . That post on coffee half a year ago didn't show the difference between the 6 different types of coffee, even if they all used the exact same ingredients anyway. WELL, here is a guide to expand!

The professionals use:
A coffee machine. =O ~$600!
A grinder to grind coffee beans.
Milk and a metal jug.

For common people, a coffee wands from IKEA costs only $1.95. Who would want that humongous piece of machinery at home anyway when the only time you drink it hot is on weekends... So this guide is only to show you what are the actual differences in coffee. =D

Firstly the barista grinds the beans. Supposedly this requires years of experience. The right powdery-ness of the beans lets the water seep through making the ultimate amount of flavour. Store coffee in a dry, cold AND dark place. Fridge not recommended.

Espresso
This is the easiest. Just put the powder into that holder thing and press one shot of water. With a glass under it of course. You then serve it in the mini glass like whisky. =D

The crema has a nice chocolate/nut flavour which is present with quality coffee beans and good grinding.

Milk (very important)
You get milk in a jug and put it under the funnel which squirts out super hot and compressed water. The jet of water froths the milk.

Cappuccino
This is the most popular. You do the same thing as the espresso. That shot of caffeine has the foamy milk added to it. The top layer of milk will naturally flow into it. Then you sprinkle chocolate powder on top. Usually in this ratio:

Latte
Same as cappuccino but the 2nd layer of milk is dominant. The barista pours it by placing a spoons on the jug to restrict flow of the top layer into the caffeine.

Flat white
Like latte but the 3rd layer of the frothy milk is mainly poured into the shot of caffeine. Usually baristas scoop off the top two layers then pour.

Mocha
Like a cappuccino but less foam and has syrup like caramel placed beforehand.

Coffee is (supposedly) now the most popular beverage in the world. Enjoy your coffee now that you know the effort put into making it =) .

Sometimes the lady at my station serves me shitty coffee and it smells like rat poo (like when you enter a damp, rat infested room. Not that I sniff rat poo). But I'll drink it anyway or die.

Saw a magazine last week which had 4 TRAITS OF LUCKY PEOPLE. I think luck implies successful people. Because the main points were to lower your standard to feel like you are the most gifted person in the entire world~! Here were some points I remember:

1. Do something random so more opportunities are thrown at you. Like walk a different route to wherever you always go.

2. When something bad happens think of the silver lining =) .

3. After thinking of silver lining you become happy and do nice things and people will treat you better too. =)

BTW I hate cringeworthy goody-two shoes. Recently watched an Indian movie called Ghanjini because no one wanted to entirely watch the movie I bought, Jennifer's Body which had lesbian scenes lol. The girl in Ghanjini was soooooooo.... ARGGG get over yourself! You are the most unrealistic, shameless person in the whole wide world. I hate the over the top acting! It's like the Lilly Allen song DLN. But in a permanent annoying skipping and trolling around kind of facade.

Only Sunako can make throwing flowers around look stylish



Episode 7 is like the most hilarious.

I can't believe I'm angry at some fictional character who PROBABLY does not exist >=( . But I will shamelessly admit the love story was cute. =D

Off on a diet plan! Made those stupid Betty Croker cookies and ate too much >=*(

Au revoir!
