- About Me:
- As stated in my skills section, I'm a novice barista with a lot to learn. I'm currently employed as Starbucks barista, so lack the skills that a lot of other baristas have. Having said that, I'd like to add that I'm dedicated to making the highest quality coffee I can, and building relationships in the coffee industry and the people who buy the coffee I enjoy creating for them. After I graduate from college, I'd like to move on a shop that can teach me what pulling an espresso shot is truly like, instead of just pushing a button. I'd like to gain all the experience and knowledge that I can so that one day, when I'm good an ready, I can open up my own specialty coffee facility. My website is currently under construction.
- About My Company:
- I work for a licensed Starbucks store. One day, I will have more things to add here.
- What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
- The passion.

So I'm writing this blog to clear up what my purpose is for working at such a place, and my plans for the future.

I want something moderately priced. In the event it does not go well here in town I will not loose everything I have.
I am open to any suggestions. I want to start up and grow if possible.
