A whole Latte Love: a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Coffee Creation!

Before I became a barista, I was always interested in the behind-the-scenes of drink making. Now, I'm not going to tell you all everything, but here is a step-by-step on how to make an iced coffee!

1. The espresso beans always smell

really good during this step, especially

if you are an avid coffee drinker like me.

Grinding the coffee beans!

2. This step is satisfying, but you do have to press decently hard.

We have to press the beans to get them ready for the machine

3. The espresso is always so hot. Smells great though!

espresso shots being pulled!

4. You can pretty much add any syrup

and it will taste good--my favorite is caramel.

Adding whatever syrups necessary to the cup

5. Sometimes the hot espresso melts the cup in this step....

we always mix the espresso shots and syrup together

6. Bella adding the ice; she always slays as a barista.

iced drinks have to be cooled down somehow...

7. Last step in making the drink! Yay!

A drink without milk would be very bitter! (I've tried it)

8. Ready to be handed out!

add the lid and it's good to go!
