Staff Spotlight: Kristie Handrinos
What is your favorite menu item?
My favorite menu item is a pour over au lait and cold brew with oat milk
What customers do you miss seeing the most?
I miss seeing all of our regulars. They truly make each day at the Snowy Owl special. I have a soft spot for the early morning crew that comes in day in and day out. I miss hearing about what they are up to. I hope that all of the customers are healthy and hanging in there during this unprecedented time. I can’t wait to get back to Snowy Owl and see everyone!
If you want some actual names….
Ann, Michaela, Selena, Brian, Karl, Greg & Emma, Josh, Steve & Nancy, John, Tom, Eric, all of the Jens
How are you coping during this time?
I have been keeping as busy as I possibly can within the restrictions that are in place. I’ve been diligently working out, playing videogames, hanging with family, playing with our two pups. My partner and I have been spending a lot of quality time together which has been so nice. We have two kayaks that we are working on cleaning out so we can get down to the pond behind my apartment! I’ve been keeping an eye on information about Covid19 to know what precautions to take to keep my family, partner, and myself healthy.
How are you making coffee at home?
At home, I switch off between a moka pot, pour over, and French press
What is your favorite coffee at Snowy Owl?
What have you been doing with your time?
I have been exercising, sleeping later than usual, hanging out with pups, reading, writing, trying to research some more about coffee so I don’t forget anything!
Tell me a couple of interesting things/you/fun facts?
I was flown to Colorado to taking barista classes through to SCA to become a Certified Level 1 Barista in 2018. I LOVE all dogs. So much.
I am also in recovery <3
