Job aids potential topics

Topic 1: how to brew an espresso with "De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker". 

We currently bought this espresso machine to brew coffee at home and found out the manual is extremely abstract and hard to understand, especially for English non-native speakers. Therefore, I would like to create a job aid for making a nice cup of espresso with this espresso machine to help people who are as confused as I am. I might also include information on bean choosing and grinding selection. 


Topic 2: Tax return preparation for foreigners. 

Tax return is also an extremely confusing process which I have not yet figured out. One of the greatest problem is its term usage in the instruction, which many of my friends have been complaining about. It would be great if I can ever get familiar with the whole process and design a job aid to make the process easier and understandable for people, but I am not confident of me ever understand the whole complicated procedure...

  1. I like the first one, simply because it's one of those things that I'd never be able to figure out, and would always have to go back and read instructions. So, a nice little instructional that looked good on a wall would be an awesome thing to have!
