The next question, how long have you worked there? So, I've been working for three years since I entered the university. That's a long time. Yeah. So, what is the difficulty of making a coffee? I think temperature control is a very difficult thing. So, every time I serve the coffee, I check the temperature. I didn't know that. What are the tips for making coffee? I think that refreshness is a very important thing for coffee. So, if you want to drink the coffee, the coffee started degraded.
