Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
Self taught. My first job in a coffee shop was as a baker. The opening barista was very late and people were ordering drinks. I made the drinks how I saw others made them. My efforts were complimented later that day. My next coffee shop job was as a barista. I learned all the proper skills on my own. Later I figured out how to do a rosetta, then other designs. I still make discoveries and learn new things about coffee.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Anywhere
About Me:
I am self taught in all my skills as a barista. After learning how to make a rosetta, I wanted to learn other designs, and improve my technique. For fun I'll watch barista training videos to try to learn something new.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
