For a bit of fun, and because I can afford the time in TY, I partook in a Barista training course in the Dublin Barista School, and I have to say it was amazing. I undertook the Qualified Barista Award (Q.B.A). This entailed 2 days of class-work / training, and one day of work experience. I completed the classwork on the 16th & 17th of September and took the Tuesday off of school to do the work experience day, which was surprisingly so much fun. I can now finally say I can appreciate and make a fantastic cup of coffee. Also if you're ever around the Grafton Street area I would highly recommend stopping by for an amazing cup of coffee. Also my barista expert/teacher is super sound and you should check out his instagram, @alvarezluisf
