Howard and I have booked to go on a Barista course at the brackenridge campus tafe next week. A day course to learn how to do espresso coffee, capuchinos etc. Only costing $28 normally $55. Good skill to have when we start travelling. Also sustainability course which will do on line.

I worked in a bar for 4 years ( in my younger days ) and it had a coffee machine, I just couldn't get the knack of it, so I would never switch it on. When anyone came in and asked for a coffee I would tell them, sorry someone forgot to switch it on (looking at someone else as I answered ) then would tell them it would take 20 minutes to heat up, only got caught out once , they said that's fine we will wait, shivers it was knock off time and very busy, who orders coffee in a bar ??????????????

I do.
Shirley does not drink alcohol, but certainly gives the coffee a good nudge.
When in a bar, if we spot a coffee machine, "one beer and one cappuccino thanks".
Was in an outback pub once and ordered a beer and a cappuccino. The young guy somewhat nervously did your trick and I replied thats OK we will wait. He disappeared out the back, returned, seemed to be reading something then 15 mins later the coffee was ready and delivered to the table.
5 mins later I went to get another beer just as a new customer and his wife entered the bar. He ordered a beer and a cappuccino.
The barman looked at me asI approached the bar, gave a wink and replied "Sorry sir, the coffee machine is broken". Had a bit of a laugh when I rejoined Shirley at the table.
As we were leaving Shirley went up to the barman and told him the coffee was fine. He seemed quite relieved.
