Wonder what you get paid for being a Piss Artist. Might apply and see if they can make a position for me
What nonsense. The job looks fairly skilled, for making coffee, and seems to have a reasonable level of responsibility. Sounds too little to me for London.
I agree. I find it ever so hard to pick up a teaspoon and unscrew the lid of a Kenco coffee granules jar. Plus of course there is the matter of carrying out a risk assessment before filling the kettle and switching it on; then another assessment before picking the kettle up and pouring the water into a mug......... ........only to realise I hadn't put any coffee in the mug. Damned difficult IMO. Tea is even riskier, those stewed bags can be awful hot.
What? Tap water water is fine, nothing wrong with tap water, they should drink that and consider themselves lucky!
I can't believe all the hype and crap there is about coffee. If there is one thing that irritates me, is seeing people walking to work carrying a bucket sized plastic or foam cup containing some sort of liquid which could contain numerous bits and pieces that aren't actually coffee. And why do people that serve coffee call themselves baristas? They are effing waiters FFS. Costa Coffee? What's that crap all about? Apart from being insipid muck. Ask for an ordinary strong coffee in one those establishments and you get something that isn't even as strong as dear old grandma's one spoonful of Nescafe powder. I like coffee so it is strong enough to stand the spoon upright, a couple of sweeteners and not much milk. It doesn't take a genius to come up with that.
No, Jez! Fluoride. Chloride! Loss of fertility, a growing fascination with reality TV ... say No! to tap water! It'll ruin you.
That job is a thinly veiled get someone in to sort out the coffee production line, and then terminate their contract once its all tickety boo. In truth, once its up and running, it wouldn't need much maintenance. I'd love it as a retirement job.
PS, I like Costa and nero as much as the most exclusive vegan roasted coffee snobshop you can find. But I'm a pleb.
Don't get it either. I do like my coffee but I want to be sat down relaxing. I don't get the carrying it around whilst rushing. I suppose that you are telling the World that you are so busy that you haven't even got time to drink your coffee ...
Iv only ever been into a Costa coffee once, it was with my son, he asked what I wanted, I asked for a white coffee and he said which one, he lost me from then on, not been near one since.
i dont know... i like a coffee to start the day. usually from a service station or a chain coffee shop if its on route or near where im working.. unless i get up 30 mins earlier in order to find parking, walk to shop, sit down for coffee and walk back to van, i get a takeaway and drink it on the go... if im parked at work and there is a shop near by i may walk to get one.. some people like a coffee at 10 or 12 but may not have the time to walk there and sit down to drink it... pretty sure most would love to have the time...
There's a certain formula to be adhered to: (Commonplace modern artifact + "I can't believe it" reaction) * "man in the street commonsense opinion" = @PerryL thread TBH living in London on £40k a year (which is about £2,250 a month in your pocket) when rents etc are routinely £1,500+ a month and the general cost of living is so high isn't going to be exactly high-rolling, and if you've any kind of family that's reliant on that income then it's really not very much at all. Head of Coffee sounds like the kind of job where the Tate cafe is going to bring in hundreds of thousands a year in coffee sales, so £40k to lead that doesn't sound absurd at all. I imagine it's a far cry from a can of Kenco and a spoon though...
