Before the doors open.
Before you open the doors…
honour your space.
I always take a second here.
No rush. Just me and the setup.
Pre-checks done.
Everything sitting where it should be.
Machine’s dialled in.
This is my trade.
I’ve done this in all sorts of places…
cold mornings, quiet streets, loud kitchens, beach cafés, back corners, setups that weren’t even ready.
Different smells.
Different sounds.
Different energy every time.
But this moment?
Always the same.
Holding space isn’t just something I do for others.
It starts with how I look after my own space first.
If it feels right in here,
it flows out there.
Professionalism isn’t loud…
it’s in the small things.
The checks.
The way you move.
The respect for the space.
Once those doors open,
there’s no hiding.
People feel you straight away.
So yeah…
before it all kicks off,
I just stand there for a second and take it in.
That’s the moment.
Coffee’s just the medium.
