HAVING an aromatic cuppa at the local coffeeshop is how many Malaysians start their day. As such, it is paramount that the people making the drink know their stuff, lest they ruin someone’s day! 

Most of us are so used to having someone whip up our drinks that we don’t realise the kind of skill and knowledge these local “baristas” have to be armed with to serve that cup of wake-me-up.
