My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bottom line: This is a delightful and informative read that serves up a rich brew of coffee knowledge and an appreciation for the baristas who work tirelessly “behind the green apron.” Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or simply enjoy a good cup of joe, this book will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the dedicated individuals who craft it.
I am a self-described coffee snob. I dislike drip coffee and K-cups. I’m an unapologetic French press enthusiast. So, when I began reading, I couldn’t help but feel like Alice tumbling into Wonderland. Caramel drizzles and Flat Whites were foreign concepts to me, and the idea of adding a staggering twenty-five sugar packets to my brew was beyond my comprehension!
I found the crazy customer stories to be entertaining and, at times, shocking. My very first job was working at TCBY Yogurt that had a lobby and a drive-thru so I know how busy times are and how having an infinite number of options of flavors and toppings can make life brutal. I have always tried to treat servers with respect because I am keenly aware of how difficult their job is. Be human people! Say, “hello,” “please” and “thank you,” and, leave a tip!
