About Me:

I am a barista who took over my current coffee shop and am currently in the process of implementing a specialty coffee program in it. I am still relatively new to the specialty coffee industry and am always learning and keeping up with the ever changing nature of this particular industry. I hope to be able to compete in the barista champs in a couple of years time.

About My Company:

Stokers Coffee Lounge was started in 1977 by a bloke named Ian Tonkin. There was not much of a coffee emphasis at this cafe, until I took it over and started implementing a specialty coffee program. We are now expanding and opening our second shop specifically fitted out for specialty coffee. We are also looking to franchise to qualified and suitable cafe owners.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
