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.

“In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than €560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet.

I believe that there are individuals who have lost their crypto one way or the other. I strongly advise that you don’t seek help recovering it online because you are likely going to meet a scammer who will steal more of your funds in an attempt to help you recover your lost crypto. I personally have used recoveryhacker101 when I had to recover my bitcoin stolen by scammers. You can contact this legit recovery firm by email (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom).
Not long ago, I fell victim to an online trading scam. It started with what looked like a legitimate platform professional website, convincing customer support, and promises of steady returns. I deposited my Bitcoin, which over time added up to nearly $22,000. For a while, everything seemed fine. My account dashboard showed growth, withdrawals appeared possible, and the so-called account managers kept urging me to invest more. But when the time came to withdraw my funds, everything changed. My withdrawal requests were delayed, then ignored. Soon after, my account access was restricted. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. The sinking feeling of losing that much in Bitcoin was overwhelming. After days of research, I came across Dexdert Net Pro Recovery, a group that specialized in helping victims of crypto and online trading fraud. At first, I was skeptical after all, I had just been deceived, and trusting another company wasn’t easy. But after reading through testimonials and speaking directly with their representatives, I decided to give them a chance. The process was thorough. I had to provide transaction records, wallet addresses, communication logs with the scammers, and other key details. The Dexdert team carefully analyzed the blockchain trail of my Bitcoin and explained step by step how they would attempt recovery. Eventually, they were able to reclaim the funds and return them to my wallet.When I finally saw my Bitcoin restored, I felt a mix of relief and gratitude. What I thought was gone forever had been recovered. Today, I share my story so that others who may feel hopeless after a scam know that recovery is possible.

When my family and I invested in what seemed to be a sophisticated crypto trading app we were filled with hope and anticipation. The platform looked professional and the testimonials were convincing. Everything about it made us believe we had made a wise decision. For a short while the app even showed what looked like extraordinary profits and our confidence grew. Then the illusion collapsed. The website disappeared overnight. The so-called support team went silent. Our accounts were suddenly inaccessible. In one devastating instant 30,000 dollars of our family’s savings was gone. The loss was crushing. It was not only about the money but about trust, guilt, and the heavy feeling of betrayal. The days that followed were filled with anguish. I lay awake at night replaying every choice and blaming myself. The despair was suffocating and the sense of helplessness unbearable. In my desperate search for hope I found CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY. They were transparent and patient. They set clear expectations and explained their process with honesty. For the first time since the scam I felt a spark of hope. When I gave them the chance to help I expected little. Instead I found professionalism of the highest level. They kept me updated at every stage and explained blockchain tracing in terms I could follow. Their expertise and dedication were clear. Then came the moment I thought would never come. They recovered 22,000 dollars of our stolen funds. The relief was overwhelming. I cried not only because of the money returned but because the heavy weight of guilt and despair finally lifted. We did not get everything back but what we regained changed everything. It gave us stability and restored our hope. I will always be grateful to CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY. They did more than recover money. They restored our peace of mind and gave us the strength to move forward. If you have been scammed and believe all is lost please know there is still hope.
