Figurine of The Barista

the Story
In the charming bar “La Belle Epoque,” an irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, thanks to John Zahno, the self-proclaimed best barista in the city. For years, John meticulously studied the art of coffee, honing his craft to perfection. He could identify a coffee’s origin, plantation, and even the time it was picked, just by its scent. His mastery extended to the froth, where he crafted artistic masterpieces—once even recreating the Sistine Chapel! John reveled in impressing customers with his knowledge of Ethiopian Moka, Indonesian kopi luwak, and Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. But when two customers entered the bar, ready for his coffee expertise, John eagerly asked what they’d like to order. Their response? “A Diet Coke and a grenadine,” leaving him utterly deflated.
