About this word search
Behind the counter of a Kiwi café there is a whole vocabulary. The barista locks in the portafilter after pressing the grounds with a tamper, then stretches the milk in a milk jug into microfoam fine enough for latte art. A piccolo is a single short shot topped with a little warm milk in a small glass. Tea has its own rituals, from Earl Grey and English breakfast to a proper afternoon tea with scones.
This grid is eighteen by eighteen and words run in all eight directions, so they can read backwards and upwards as well. English breakfast is the longest at sixteen letters, then Single origin and Afternoon tea at twelve. Decaf, Crema and Cuppa are only five letters and easy to miss. The J appears only in Milk jug, which makes it a good place to start. Chai latte and Cold brew run together as CHAILATTE and COLDBREW.
A slow puzzle for Sunday morning with the paper and a second coffee. In the office kitchen, tick off each drink as someone orders it and see how long it takes the team to fill the sheet.
