What's missing in any Baristatoolkit?

A nailbrush!!!


I mean, I love that my hands smell like coffee after a hard days work, but sometimes it gives me the creeps if I see ground coffee under my nails.
And if I am busy preparing 12 special recipies in a row - I can't run to the bathroom all the time or stand there before the customers picking with a toothpick - so for any company that sells barista - tool - kits with thermometers, tampers, group head brushes, latte art sticks...please, don't forget the nailbrush for the busy barista!
Thanks.

I hear your pain sister !!::-): but a great addition would be a third arm .

but to be fair i was once a persistent nail biter untill i became a barista and as people focused on my hands i was that ashamed that i stopped biteing them.

[Joey]

Oh, I stopped biting when I got my first kiss...a looooong time ago
But a third arm? Sometimes at work I feel like I have 6 arms, like this indian figures, those godesses or whatever they are - that would be a big help - additional arms, tru, true... *lol*

Ohh Joey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to most of us in here, you ARE a GODESS

Are you crazy?
Just yesterday I felt how human I am.
After working 14-18 hours every day, 7 days a week for the last 2 month, my body gave up. I suddenly started getting fever, I got a thick throat, couldn't even move my tounge and talk properly (luck for some people), my back hurt, I got dizzy and finally couldn't concentrate on the drinks anymore. I stood in front of the machine for a minute, thinking with which coffee to start next.... I was so down. And I am usually healthy like a horse since years!
But yesterday my body gave up. A friend of mine finally set me in my car and told me to drive home. As soon as the door was closed I started crying.
Then I slept til today in the morning. I still have a thick throat and a bit of fever, but I am up on my feet again. I have to cause I am leaving to BRasil tomorrow. I can't tell you how urgently I need this trip to get away from Vienna. Therefore I have to work through another night to get everything ready for leaving.
So I'll send you all nice pics when I am back.
And don'T bite your nails in the meantime!

Good luck Joey! Und gute Besserung. Once you're on the plane you can relax and be a guest rather than a servant. Have a good stay in Brasil and enjoy the coffee!

[Joey]

Thank you so much - Vielen Dank!
Nice smileys ... Hi, hi...

Joey, beterschap!
Hope that the trip to Brazil helps to recover. Enjoy it and I'm already waiting for the pics!
Take care.

On the original topic, what is missing in a baristatoolkit:
- barista skills (I would love to have some)
- a good looking brunette
