- Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
- In the past I have worked in a coffee shop which roasted beans daily in small batches for drip and espresso and to order for bean orders. We used a 1lb 'Syd and Jerry's' Coffee Kinetics roaster.
Currently I am working two coffee shops, both using locally roasted beans.
The shop I currently work full time is very fast paced and very high-traffic. Right now I work with an LM 3group and a smaller Rancillio
I would also like to learn more about coffee roasting.
- What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
- Anywhere and everywhere! Specifically India, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Central America, Argentina, Vienna, Istanbul, Morocco, Serbia, Japan, Hawai'i, and much more travel around the continental US.
- About Me:
- I'm a young career professional and I'm looking to stay in the industry any way I can.
It all started when my family was living in Guatemala and I was given the opportunity as a child to visit coffee farms and learn a little bit about growing and harvesting.
As an older teenager I worked in a cafe where we roasted the beans for our drip coffee and espresso, and I was given some training as a barista. Ever since that job, I've been drawn to the field every new place I go.
I'm still learning and I'm yearning to know more. I love the taste but it is still a mystery to me. I want to understand what makes good coffee good, and espresso excellent, and I want to learn how to fully control the preparation of that immaculate substance.
I want to move somewhere where I'll be able to work and receive better training. I'm looking for someone to point me to all the resources there are.
- About My Company:
- I currently work two cafe jobs, averaging 85 hours a week in the summer tourist season and 60 hours in the off-season.
I would like to someday see consistent excellent quality in the preparation of drinks wherever I go. I want every barista to truly understand their charge and craft.
- What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
- The coffee industry promotes a product that has always been and always will be more a part of living than any other consumable substance besides water. Coffee is insertable into nearly any situation or circumstance imaginable. The local regulars at my morning job weave a fascinating web of who is buying whose coffee. That web keeps on growing and it reminds me of two things - that my community is healthy and that people will always connect over coffee.
