<human>: TIFU by appreciating coffee art...
For a while I've been learning to appreciate good coffee, my recent move to a new city has meant a lot of time exploring new haunts for the perfect hit. I've conversed with many baristas whilst visiting various cafes and even tried making my own coffee and realized that there is so much more to the pseudo science and its close to art (both of which I totally suck at).

I found a place locally that managed to create a consistently great coffee and struck a bit of a friendship with the barista.

ffwd to today as I was shuffling with a colleague along in the queue to order/pay whilst in awe at the baristas go about brewing the magic elixir and warming milk to the right temperature. 
I knew that the day was starting on the right foot when I saw that my favorite barista friend was putting the finishing touches on our coffees. I couldn't help but grin in excitement, it's the small things in life that make me happy.

She happened to notice me watching attentively as she handed over the daily hit, at the same time she asked what I was 'ogling' at … i tried to think of a really cool reply as I reached over and took my cup and blurted 'the day could not have started any better'.
Reflecting on the event I think I came across a bit of a creep and should have said something a bit more complimentary instead.

Condense the text into a few key points
