The Cafe!

So, Peter and I opened the cafe again this week. Joe helped us transport the equipment and set everything up in our student-run store. We had cool lights, nice tunes (Peter's new LCD Soundsystem album...very cool!) and a great crowd. We had Kicking horse dark roast espresso blend for the evening and an addition of Affagato to our menu. (Ice-cream topped with a double espresso... absolutely divine.)

The demand was high and we were well pushed to keep up. Peter pulled shots on his blue machine and by half way he was nailing consistent ristretto's, which were superb. I was steaming milk on Peter's black machine and managed to pour my best full cup heart ever and some decent macchiato art. Pictures will follow once I get them off the camera. (i'm not sure how good the quality is though)

A normal night in student store usually makes about $15-$45 but we raise the bar to $132, a little less than our previous best which was $146. All profits from this venture go directly to student aid. This helps students, that get selected to Pearson, with financial difficulties. (Helping with transport costs, spending money during college breaks etc.) It is very worth while.

I'll add my photos to this post once they're available.
