- Assist Senior Baristas in the "dialing-in" process every morning, adjusting grind sizes to account for humidity and temperature changes.
- Demonstrate a developing palate by describing flavor notes (acidity, body, sweetness) to guests and ensuring every drink meets the café's sensory benchmarks.
- Maintain a pristine, organized workstation; this includes frequent back-flushing of groups, cleaning steam wands immediately after use, and hopper maintenance.

Qualification
- Must possess a formal SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) Foundation Certification or have completed a recognized professional barista training program.
- Deep understanding of specialty coffee fundamentals, including the difference between Arabica varieties, processing methods (Washed, Natural, Honey), and roast levels.
