A period of history of catfish

Many people always tell me that they want to learn coffee. I think it is not difficult to learn coffee. The difficult thing is how to make a good cup of coffee.

Unfortunately, up to now I still don't know what good coffee is. I just think that learning coffee is like learning to be a man, starting from the basics, starting from the service outfield, and starting from how to clean a cup. I think, if even the most basic outfield can not be done well, even the simplest cup can not be washed clean, then how to learn to make coffee? Being serious, attentive and attentive is the principle for me to make a good cup of coffee as much as possible, but if you can't focus on serving outfield and washing cups, who will believe that you can really make a cup of coffee with your heart?

There are too many people want to learn coffee, because they all think that coffee is very simple, pay some money to buy some milk will pull flowers is to make coffee. But in fact, the money, time and energy paid by people who are really learning coffee are bottomless. I don't know those people who yell about how beautiful they are every day. Do you know what your coffee tastes like?

All I know is that coffee is for drinking, not for watching.

Not long after I learned coffee, I also experienced these learning bottlenecks. Up to now, I still dare not claim that I know coffee, but maybe coffee knows me better. The first time I came into contact with coffee was in early 2010, when I bought an Ami siphon pot and a small flying eagle, making coffee in my own home, and then communicating with friends who opened a coffee shop and trying various ways to make the coffee tastier. It took me half a year to get in touch with hand-filtered coffee, and then bought the first Italian machine in my life-Cankun 1819.

Well, I admit that I didn't know what espresso was at that time. I added foam directly into the concentrate and carved beautiful flowers with chocolate sauce. Like everyone else, the espresso I made at that time was for watching, not for drinking.

But people always grow up, I must thank those who let me know how to grow, but also they let me know more about coffee.

At the end of June 2011, I worked at the Old Serbian Action Cafe and spent nearly 20 days learning all their drinks except coffee, which is a foundation for growth. Take-out coffee certainly affects the taste of coffee, but it provides great convenience to many people.

At the end of July 2011, I was in the coffee grid in Xiamen and came into contact with the first real espresso in my life. I must thank my first boss, 4399 Micro Coffee, even though people still prefer their milk tea. But I hope my friends in the software park can drink more of their coffee.

At the end of October 2011, this was a turning point in my coffee road. Egged on by Chu Jiayuan A Lian and Niu Xiaohu, I participated in the Xiamen Division of the first China International Barista Competition and won the second place. Originally, I thought I was going to buy soy sauce, so the result was very unexpected. I have to thank Xiamen Coffee Lattice for its training at that time, so I must clarify one thing that everyone is guessing here. My coffee foundation has been learned in Xiamen Coffee Lattice. If I have the chance, I still want to go back to Coffee Lattice to learn more. Thank you for the foundation laid for me. So far, I have a deeper understanding of coffee raw beans and coffee roasting.

I can get the place the first time I take part in the competition. I think it not only allows me to learn more things, but also makes me look more capitalized in opening this cafe, because the coffee shop I want must be coffee-based, not milk tea.

In early December 2011, the construction of this cat-themed cafe began. I am very grateful to those friends who have followed me since the opening of Weibo, which has given me the motivation to move forward when I encounter all kinds of difficulties in decoration. There is no doubt that the past two months of decoration have been dark for me, whether in love or in other aspects. Until the end of December, I met the small cochlea in the snail time cafe, so I named it the small cochlea. I always believed that the small cochlea was a treasure given to me by God. At that time, when I went home every night, the first thing I did was to hold the small cochlea. It's really a kitten in a good mood. However, the day before the Spring Festival was ready to go home, the small cochlea drilled out through the window of the balcony. I came back that night and found the whole community, but I still couldn't find it. I didn't want to describe my mood at that time.

At this point, the little cochlea is sleeping next to me. Happily, on the first day I came back after the New year, the cochlea was sitting under my balcony and meowing. It was really a touching day. At that time, the Cafe Cafe had already taken shape, so I hastened to bring the small cochlea to the cat cat.

On the third day of the Lunar New year, I tidied up all my things in the store alone. I have forgotten how many nights, small cochlea accompany me to tidy up until four or five o'clock in the morning, it is inevitable that it is hard to open a shop, and people who have opened a coffee shop will understand the blood and sweat behind a good cup of coffee. On February 1, 2012, the cat cat started its business on trial. This month is nothing more than a new beginning for me. Both emotionally and professionally, there have been a lot of people who are very important to the cat cat.

What I want to say is that the most important person, today is her birthday. The cat you saw, it was her presence that made you see what it looks like now.

The reason why I am going to write these is because these are the history of the cat cat, and I must write it out and carve it into an inscription in my memory for everyone to read. There are no sentimental words, no gorgeous words, only a heart hot for coffee, and the love that flows.
