My way to the Barista- ( Barista_ Karlo )
Posted by Simonou Mike on
Hi, my name is Karlo Puric and I am from Zagreb and I would love to share a story about my way to barista.
Picture 1 - Zagreb
I was born on 3rd of June, 1993. in capital city of Croatia, Zagreb. Short after that my familly and I moved to small city in Germany called Utting on Ammersee lake. My parents were working in their own restaurant as chef cooks. When I turned 6, I was forced to go to school in Croatia and my mom and me moved back to Zagreb, father stayed in Germany to work.
Durring my elementary School, every summer break, easter break I was going to visit my father and I started to help him with small things, clean tables, clean glasses etc. When I turned 14 I started to work behind the bar and that was my first with that I worked with coffee and I really loved it.

But my parrents wanted me to finish the college, get a diploma, find a good job. And thats what happened, well, at least some of them. 2011. I started to study Civil engineering and I liked it. In the same year my parrents opened a small caffe in Zagreb and I worked 2 times a week to earn some money for college.
Durring all these years I was playing handball semi-professional and I was very competitive, I wanted to be the best player. The same was with coffee, I wanted to serve best coffee in the caffe for me and my customers. I switched my college books with books about espresso. I started getting bad grades, I spent alot of money to get back into the college but it was too late.
In 2016 I quit my college and I started working full time in caffe and coffee passion was groving every day. In next 6 months nothing happened, I was just working.
One day I saw a guy called Dritan Alses doing a skill called "Latte art" and I was just amazed! After that I took some barista and latte art courses in Zagreb because I wanted to serve even better coffee to my customers. Customers reactions were wonderfully and that gave me a solid boost to improve my skills. I met Dritan at World of coffee in Budapest and I cant describe you how excited I was when I saw him .

In March 2017, friend told me that there is going to be an latte art competition in Zagreb and that I should join for fun. I told to my self: "I got nothing to lose". I couldn't even imagine what will happen next. The experience I gained is priceless. I end up on 3rd place in Croatia and I met so many wonderfull people. That was one of the best moments in my barista career.

And now I am here. Currently taking SCA curses so I can become SCA barista trainer and I am looking foreward to open another coffee shop, small coffee roaster and barista training center.
How I got conected with BaristaSpace guys?
I decided to open my Instagram profile and I wanted to share my arts with other baristas all over the world and to learn smething new. I saw all kinds of milk jugs but I saw once ranbow pitchers and I really wanted them but they were so expensive.

And then the mirracle happaned. I saw a post on Baristaspace instagram profile that they are giving away the rainbow jugs in exchange for 5 latte art videos. I got in touch with Ak to arrange the shipping. And as the time was passing, Ak and me became good friends. I ordered big amout of barista equipment from them.

I am a very happy woman with the help of Dr Krish Spiritual who helped me restore my relationship with my ex husband. My name is Agnes Smith and I am from Alaska, USA. I met Dr Krish Spiritual through a testimony online and I never thought I would have my ex husband back after 4 years of separation. After my contact with his email, he told me not to worry and I would really be happy as I am now. Trusting in his words was the right decision for me. After 2 days, my ex husband called me saying that he wants to return back to me and live with me forever and I was very shocked. This made me believe that Dr Krish is really a very great spiritual man. Today, I am very happy to write this testimony about him and want others to testify to his power as I am currently happy in my restored marriage. Don’t waste time on that relationship problem. Contact Dr Krish Spiritual directly through his email at lordkrishshrine@gmail.com to help you solve that relationship problems in your marriage
My husband and I never imagined we’d fall victim to a cryptocurrency scam, but life has a way of testing even the most cautious among us. What began as a hopeful investment opportunity turned into a nightmare that nearly cost us our savings, our peace of mind, and in my darkest moments my will to keep fighting. Today, I share our story not just as a cautionary tale, but as a testament to the incredible work of CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY, the team that gave us a second chance. Several weeks ago, we decided to invest $255,500 in a cryptocurrency exchange platform after being promised exponential returns. Initially, everything seemed legitimate. The platform’s representatives were persuasive, and their promises aligned with stories we’d heard of others thriving in the crypto space. However, when my husband fell seriously ill and could no longer work, we realized we needed to withdraw our funds to cover medical expenses and daily needs. That’s when the nightmare began. The platform refused to process our withdrawal unless we paid an additional 15% fee, a demand that felt both absurd and predatory. Panic set in as we realized we’d been trapped in a scam. I spiraled into despair, grappling with guilt over the loss of our life savings and the toll it took on my husband’s health. I felt utterly hopeless until a Facebook post about CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY caught my eye. Skeptical but desperate, I researched the team extensively. Their website, client testimonials, and transparent process stood out. They specialized in recovering funds from fraudulent crypto schemes, and their track record gave me a flicker of hope. I reached out via their official contact form and provided details of our case. The team responded swiftly, demonstrating professionalism and empathy from the start. They explained the recovery process in clear terms, assuring us they’d pursue every avenue to reclaim our funds. True to their word, CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY utilized cutting-edge tools and legal expertise to trace and recover our stolen Bitcoin. Within days, they provided updates that reignited our optimism and within weeks, they succeeded in retrieving the full $255,500.Words cannot express the relief we felt. This wasn’t just about the money; it was about reclaiming control of our lives. My husband’s health has since improved, and we’re rebuilding with renewed gratitude and caution.
