Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I work in a busy little café and bakery called 'Espresso Avellino' that owns a two-group Gaggia Orione 1G- U machine from the mid-seventies. It's a lot of fun to work on, despite being a bit temperamental at times. We serve coffee roasted locally by 'The Lotus Company'. I also work the morning bar at the 'Old World Deli' where we have a two-group La Marzocco Linea and serve Caffé Vita espresso and single origin French Press.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I would love to travel to Latin America for a tour of coffee growing facilities.
