I'm not a direct fit for a barista exchange as a green coffee importer/consultant, but I still keep up in the barista community as much as I can. I started as a barista in 1989, served on the SCAA Training Committee Espresso subcommittee for a number of years, and judge in barista competitions when possible.

The people. It's an industry of very passionate people and I do everything I do with passion.

    Hi Andi,

    Just finished reading Part 1 of your article for ROAST on green buying. Wanted to write and thank you for the informative article and to also ask how you became a green buyer? Do you have a lot of roasting experience? New to the bx so sorry if you get asked this question a lot.

    Saludos from Mexico!
