Profile Information

What is your position in the coffee industry?
barista, barista trainer, home barista
Where are you located? ( City and Country )
chicago IL
How many years have you been in the industry?
2
If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?
maybe
Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I work for Intelligentsia coffee and tea in Chicago. We try to set the bar high for what it takes to work in our shops and I would qualify most of our bar certified staff as solid 3rd wavers. I currently have a decent grasp on latte art, solid knowledge of espresso craft and know my fair share about single origin coffees as well. I could not speak for Intelligentsia as far as opening our shops to the exchange program but would be interested in seeing how other shops do things and participating in Jams, guest shifts or what have you
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
short term I am interested in any US city with a solid 3rd wave shop/culture. in the longer term I am inclined to travel to central/south america, Europe and possibly even africa.
About Me:
I am a 29 year old Barista with some experience in coffee production environments as well. I adhere to a healthy chunk of your standard progressive values such as living green, social responsibility and equality. My interests outside of coffee include biking (commuter) bar tending/mixology and plants.
About My Company:
Intelligentsia is a coffee roaster with 4 retail locations, 3 in chicago and 1 in LA. We are pushing a new direction in purchasing coffee and developing farmer relations which we have termed Direct Trade. We keep our standards high for both the quality of our beans and our preparation. We support industry events such as the regional barista comps and are SCAA members in good standing.

Congrats Michael!! Sorry I missed the "party" out in Cali, but work & 2 teenagers kept me back in Ohio. I was cheering for you all the way...I knew you would do it again. Keep at it and I'm sure you will be walking away with the trophy in London. Take care & best wishes.
