- About Me:
- Im in my twentys and have had a love of coffee since I was a young teen. In the last few years I have been given the opportunity to expand my knowledge and test myself when I started to work in the coffee industry. Besides coffee I love sports and enjoy nothing more than going to watch my favourite football team Manchester United. I also love to watch rugby and follow Halifax RLFC. I enjoy listening to music and going to see bands live. Also due to a very good friend of mine I have developed a love of ............ballet!!! I FInd it qutie amazing to watch and have a huge amount of respect for the dancers who have to put so much time and effort in to doing something they love.
- About My Company:
- The shop I work in opened a few years ago in the sleepy town of Brighouse in Yorkshire. The primary reason for opening was the lack of a decent coffee shop in the town. there was one, A "Merrie England" and anyone who knows of this little chain knows how awful the coffee they serve is.
We serve espresso based beverages at the moment although I would like to see us start offering single origin coffees from around the world in the next few years. We currently use a blend prepared for us by Coopers Coffee. The blend, named after David Coopers son, is Louie Mio. - What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
- The passion of my fellow barista's
