Middle class lock down problems

Day 1. I’ve appointed a new barista. At least for the duration of the lock down. I had to leave my usual one at work. #MiddleClassProblem

Day 2. The new barista makes awful coffee. I know the beans are good. They’re from Weskus Coffee . #MoreMiddleClassProblem

Day 3. I tried to help the barista. He is not a quick learner. Actually measuring the ground coffee helped. #ImprovementOnMiddleClassProblem

Day 4. Cancelled the barista’s internet connection. He read about cold brewed coffee. I didn’t drink that. I drank a 10 minute old mix of tap water and coffee particles. #NoItWasn’tThat

Day 5. Today he tried to disguise his failure with milk. Long life milk. No. On so many levels. No. #MiddleClassProblemContinues

Day 6. Gave the barista the day off. #DoIStillHaveToPayTheBarista?

Day 7. What the hell was that??!!!?? A warm, liquid sludge that with enough torture might admit it once saw a coffee bean. From afar. #BaristaOnThinIce

Day 8. I’m drinking tea. #MiddleClassAdaptation

  1. A sober and sobering perspective. With that touch of ironic humour. Thanks!
