Chapter 4

Thanks for
the coffee

Melbourne is known as 'The Coffee Capital.' Thirty tons of coffee beans are imported every day – that’s equivalent to 3 million cups of coffee. It’s rumored that Australians invented the Flat White and Long Black. Or maybe it was act Zealand. Anyhow, when it comes to coffee, the Melburnians definitely know what they’re doing.

Both Daniel and I enjoy coffee and have invested in a Sage machine, also known as the spaceship. We’ve watched YouTube videos on how to froth the perfect milk, but even though practice makes perfect in theory, we’ve never quite mastered the steamer.

So, it was a perfect opportunity to take a barista course in the very heart of the coffee capital. After 7 hours and countless cups of coffee, I was pretty high on caffeine. But in a good way. What a craft! Thanks to my coffee buddy, Martin.
