Tasting Notes: How Your Barista Is a Spotify DJ

Tasting Notes: How Your Barista Is a Spotify DJ

Like many baristas, I came to the coffee profession in part because of coffee shops - not just because it’s where your latte comes from but because it’s the place you can sit and unwind, read your favorite book, maybe have a cheerful, surface-level conversation with a stranger.

Coffee shops, at their best, should be safe spaces where anyone who’s anyone can sit, have a drink, and feel welcome.  And, for me, music has always been an important part of that experience, both as a barista and as a customer.
