Barista Life
Barista Life is a nationwide investigation into the opportunities and challenges baristas face when building a career in coffee. United Baristas has partnered with the espresso machine manufacturers La Marzocco and the parts and equipment supplier Espresso Solutions to run a series of Barista Life Roundtables and conduct the Barista Life Survey.
Attend a Barista Life Roundtable
Over the coming months, meet with fellow baristas a one of the Barista Life Roundtables. We’ll be discussing reasons why people get into coffee, what they like about they job, what challenges people face when building a career and what skills you might need to obtain. All you need to attend is to a) work in coffee, and b) be an expert about your own story.
We’ll be telling you more about Barista Life over the coming weeks and months, but for now:
