Who I am: My journey as a Barista

Published on 18 January 2026 at 19:55

Hello all, welcome to my blog! I'm really excited to share my passion for all things coffee. Are you ready to explore coffee shops across the UK and even abroad? 

In this blog, we shall cover a vast range of coffee-related topics, like showcasing interesting coffee shops, tips and tricks, as well as discussing old and new trends in the coffee space.

I have worked in coffee since 2021, starting as a barista at Coffee#1 in my local town. After a couple of years, I was promoted to Assistant Manager.  Following this, I moved to Starbucks as a supervisor, though I was only there for 6 months. Later, I worked for a specialty coffee shop in a city local to me, which helped me further discover my passion for coffee. Currently, I work for Costa as what they call a Barista Maestro (supervisor). Though I work in corporate coffee, my goal is to one day open my own coffee shop and grow a successful brand.  

In 2024, I embarked on the journey to travel the east, visiting the east coast of Australia, Japan, and Southeast Asia. This inspired me to create this blog as I checked out plenty of interesting coffee establishments. I wanted to create reviews for these wonderful places, but I never had the confidence to do so. Now I'm having a go at it.
