Like many of us, Nick used
Nescafé instant coffee or
Lipton tea bags whenever he wanted a caffeine boost.
He used to think of these drinks as just caffeinated beverages. Something that quickly kickstarted his day or kept it going.
Obviously, Nick had it all wrong for most of his life.
Coffee &
tea are so much more than just that. They are an art, with so many variations, different flavor profiles and health benefits.
Nick realized all of that when he got a job as a
Starbucks barista. That's when his passion for coffee and tea was first ignited!
Several years after his experience as a barista, his love for coffee and tea was reignited on a trip to Paris. This happened when he had the perfect cup of espresso while people-watching from a café.
In that moment, he decided to learn even more about coffee & tea, and to develop his skills with the aim to feel confident about making the perfect cup at home!
