Intermediate Barista: Achieve Your Coffee Journey

The beginning of the coffee journey

As an intermediate barista, my love and pursuit of coffee has never stopped. Every cup of fragrant coffee is my deep yearning for a better life. So, I decided to embark on a coffee journey of my own.

Finding inspiration: exploring the flavors of different regions

The first thing I have to do on this journey is to find inspiration. By tasting specialty coffee beans from different regions, I can understand their unique and rich flavors.

In Brazil, the rich and mellow Brazilian blend coffee is intoxicating; Colombia is known for its soft, balanced and delicate taste; Kenya produces high-altitude boutique beans with strong fruity acidity and floral aromas.

Learning and practice: Improving modulation techniques

After understanding the different regional flavors, the next step was to learn how to brew the best coffee. I attended some professional training courses and learned different extraction methods and coffee roasting techniques.

Through repeated practice, I gradually mastered the impact of different bean varieties, roasting degrees and extraction times on the taste of coffee. I found that meticulously adjusting each link can bring completely different taste experiences.

Innovation and breakthrough: creating personal characteristics

As an intermediate barista, I was eager to make a breakthrough in this industry. So, in addition to learning and practicing, I began to think about how to create my own characteristics.

By trying various innovative drink recipes and exploring ways to pair with other ingredients, I have successfully developed several special drinks that are loved by customers. These creative ideas are inspired by my travel experiences and my understanding of the diversity of coffee flavors.

Sharing and inheritance: achieving success for others

My coffee journey is not just about pursuing personal achievement. As an intermediate barista, I also hope to pass on my experience and knowledge to more people.

I have participated in teaching some coffee training classes, sharing my experience and skills with beginners. It is very gratifying to see them gradually improve under my guidance and begin to love this industry.

Future Outlook: Pursuing Higher Levels

Although I have achieved certain success, my coffee journey is far from over. Next, I plan to continue to learn more about coffee tasting, fine bean varieties, and unique brewing methods.

At the same time, while continuously improving my skills, I also look forward to the opportunity to explore more different coffee cultures around the world and incorporate these valuable experiences into my career.

Conclusion

At the intermediate barista stage, "Achieve Your Coffee Journey" is a good theme. Through seeking inspiration, learning and practice, innovation and breakthrough, sharing and inheritance, I not only improved my coffee brewing skills, but also found my own characteristics.

In the future, I will continue to strive for higher realms and share my experience and knowledge with more coffee lovers, because for me, the coffee journey will never stop here.
