I have worked as a barista trying to improve quality for awhile. When I noticed this just wasn't doing the job, I ventured out on my own to do independent training and consulting to help improve the quality in the area. It's slow-going, but catching on.
I also run a Texas Coffee industry community at http://tx-coffee.com . If you live in/visit Texas, and you work in coffee, you need to visit this site.

Hello!
I was actually quite lucky and landed a job at Houndstooth coffee in Austin in my first couple weeks. I am in training there now and am amazed by just how much I still have to learn.
Thank you kindly for checking back with me. That kind of follow up and support is exactly why I became a part of Barista Exchange.

Hi Jason, My main profession is hair. I have been a owner for 9 years..have done hair 26 years. I needed to add more revenue as with all bussinesses expenses have gone up..so i bought some jura commercail machines, played with coffee, and sold alot to my customers. Now I have just signed a 10 year lease on a new location so that i can really be a coffee shop with a kitchen and section off the salon. My salon is very modern retro with the red, white and black colors,so my coffee shop will be in the same theme. I have read hours of discussions here and they have been a great help. I am blessed that i already have a big clientel and they already enjoy the coffee i serve, but I am sure I will be asking alot of questions as I try to get this going..I am very excited on this move in the coffee world..Sheryl Sons
