Specialty Coffee has so many opportunities for career growth, but often can feel overwhelming and confusing. This week we talk to Tarra Samuelson about how she took the path of being a consultant and what that can look like. Tarra has worked specialty coffee for the past 12 years with Klatch Coffee, Verve Coffee, Equator Coffees and Provision Coffee. Over the years she worked in both retail and wholesale, having roles such as barista, shift lead, account manager & trainer, national account manager, Director of Wholesale and has taught for the SCA through Barista Camp, Expo, and Technicians Guild. She owns a retail coffee consulting company, Curated Coffee Consulting.Outside of coffee, you'll find her taking classes (just finished cooking, now onto ceramics!), playing fetch with her dog Kumi (her motto: ball is life), or exploring the many restaurants and cafes of Phoenix with her husband, Dan.
Sustainability in coffee has many facets and the industry has made progress or has it? Tyler Duncan of Coracle Coffee shares his views on sustainability in terms of the growing market of convenience and how to make Specialty Coffee more accessible for all. Tyler has been in the industry for around a decade. Beginning at Starbucks and then Topeca Coffee Roasters, he now owns an instant coffee business called Coracle Coffee. He's been a barista, manager, chief cinnamon roll eater, and educator. He's also volunteered at events like Barista Camp and Expo, as well as Roaster's Guild Retreat and Access. He likes cooking for people and has a terrible case of threshold syndrome, where you walk into another room and crossing that threshold makes you forgot what the heck you were doing in the first place.
Sven und ich kennen uns von unserer gemeinsamen Arbeit bei Schamong Kaffee in Köln. Wir tauschen uns in einem sehr persönlichen Gespräch über die Möglichkeiten und die Schwierigkeiten der Aus- und Weiterbildung im Bereich Kaffee aus. Außerdem geht es um die nicht so angenehmen Erfahrungen, die man so im Baristaalltag macht. Passend zum diesjährigen Barista Camp erzählt Sven, warum es sich lohnt, 3-4 Tage mit ganz vielen Kaffeeverrückten in einem Hotel zu verbringen.
