class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myespresso.my\/\">MyEspresso Cafe<\/a>, Mr. Chan Kok Fai, to help us spearhead this project.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align:

Apart from operating a commercial caf\u00e9, MyEspresso also supplies espresso machines and coffee beans, and provides professional barista training.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thanks to MyEspresso, our students could get <a href=\"https:\/\/highlandercoffee.com\/aeropresssingapore\/product\/quattro-blend\/\">Highlander Quattro beans<\/a> from Singapore, one of the highest quality coffee beans you can get.

Students have to deal with boiling water, steam and hot surfaces with their bare hands like Starbucks baristas. While it may have been scary at first, our students were determined and excited to become professional baristas.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By practising safety measures under the guidance of our teachers, our students came to master their barista skills.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99cbd6d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"99cbd6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Going Out of the Classroom<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10b6537 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10b6537\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On top of their industry-related classes and practical classes, our students got the rare opportunity to visit MyEpresso Caf\u00e9, go behind the counter and experience what it is like to work as a barista handling commercial grade equipment.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was amazing to observe professional baristas behind the scenes.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We also get to enjoy their delicious cakes and pastries!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end of our trip, the students interviewed Mr Chan himself to learn how he went on his entrepreneurial journey.<\/p><p><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e4c3c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3e4c3c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/treetop.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Snippet-of-Mr-Chans-Interview-or-a-screenshot-2-1024x539-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-989267\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treetop.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Snippet-of-Mr-Chans-Interview-or-a-screenshot-2-1024x539-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/treetop.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Snippet-of-Mr-Chans-Interview-or-a-screenshot-2-1024x539-1-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/treetop.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Snippet-of-Mr-Chans-Interview-or-a-screenshot-2-1024x539-1-768x404.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2884b92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2884b92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Student Caf\u00e9 Today<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55a1788 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"55a1788\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our students were put to the test during our Mid-Autumn Festival Event in 2019.

Then, the parents flocked around the cafeteria, observing their children working hard on the caf\u00e9, something beyond their age or ability.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By the end of the night, our students had successfully run their caf\u00e9 and made a profit.
