Barista Bitch Dialing In

Once again I am disappointed and feel unappreciated. I am stuck between the account representative and management at the company I work for. Every time the account representative asks for some change or service added and I inform management they do nothing. It's nice that they have no time to even pretend to care or be invested. I really dislike corporate dining, but I need the money desperately.  I finished Young Mungo  by Douglas Stuart, I feel like it was largely a rehash of Shuggie Bain , but streamlined a bit largely removes some of the more localized language. It felt a bit disjointed and YA-y especially the segments featuring James, but for the most part I enjoyed it.  Moksha Mexico Chiapas Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 19.5g in 21 seconds 24g out Sweet Chocolate and almond. Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 18.5g in 24 seconds 24g out Citrus and chocolate.

Roasted on 06/22/22 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Niche Zero grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours 48. I have mixed feelings about this one, it has some astringent black tea notes to it as well as candied lemon, strawberry and a little like salt water taffy. I think it is good, but just a tad too astringent for me. At a finer setting I got some floral notes. 

Love that nothing is ready for me in the morning.  Moksha Mexico Chiapas Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 19.2g in 25 seconds 24g out Smokes Chocolate and nut Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 18.2g in 18 seconds 24g out Citrus and chocolate. A little funky.

I have never felt such strong hatred of the bourgeoisie as I did yesterday, the sheer hubris of those pathetic wastes of oxygen amazes me.  Moksha Mexico Chiapas Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 19.1g in 21 seconds 24g out Sweet Chocolate and almond  Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 18.6g in 25seconds 24g out Citrus and chocolate.

It's really cool, when I don't get to finalize what I have to make till the last minute and even more when someone takes credit for it. The Bay area is known for having people not talking to others outside of their class and I don't know why I am surprised at where I work that is true there as well.  Moksha Mexico Chiapas Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 19.4g in 19 seconds 24g out 20.1g in 22 seconds 24 Sweet Chocolate and almond  Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 18.4g in 21seconds 24g out Citrus and chocolate.

Roasted on 06/06/22 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Niche Zero grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 40. Strawberry very briefly at the front, followed by flat chocolate and complex brandy. I really loved this at the first sip, but not so much afterwards. I think this would be a good espresso though. 

I have an event today where I am supposed to make three cocktails and a mocktail. I still don't know what I am supposed to be making with the exception of the mocktail, which I may or may not get the ingredients for.  I forgot to mention, they suddenly started caring about how ugly the place looks and are "sprucing" up the place and stocking a bunch of snacks that they will never reorder.   Moksha Mexico Chiapas Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 19.8g in 27 seconds 26-28g out Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 06/14/22 18.4g in 20 seconds 24g out Citrus and chocolate.
