Hi all,
I'm a barista in Portland, Oregon. I've been in the industry for four or five years now and am curious to hear how some of you began furthering your knowledge and skill as baristas or industry professionals. I love coffee and want to learn as much as I can! I know my city has a wealth of resources, but I don't currently have the cash to throw down for an ABC class or something similar. I try to read up on things, and frequent good shops and talk to people. It just seems like slow going at times. I am curious how many of you developed from standard barista-folk to more educated, serious coffee industry professionals.
Thoughts, anecdotes, advice?
Go!
