8 Reasons Why I Love Being A Barista

In This Article:

Whether you work at Starbucks, Dunkin, Pete's, or another coffee shop- Here are 8 things you can relate to if you love being a barista.

1. People

Giphy

Working as a barista I have met SO many incredible people. My coworkers make the job a million times more fun, and I love hearing about their adventures outside of work too. When it comes to customers, of course, there are unpleasant ones, but I have also met so many lovely and hilarious people just chatting out the drive-through window waiting for drinks to be made.

2. Experimenting

Giphy

When I have a few extra minutes on my hand, I love trying out whatever drinks I can think of with a combination of the different ingredients we have. I have found some of my favorite drinks this way and have made some pretty wacky things, too.

3. Learning

Giphy

I am basically a walking coffee encyclopedia at this point. There is so much more to coffee then I could have ever imagined, and I'm glad I have been able to learn more about it. I always thought black coffee was simply black coffee, but little did I know I would be at coffee tastings picking out the different notes of each of the roasts we offer.

4. Perks

Giphy

Free coffee, need I say more? Seriously though, where I work the pers are amazing. From college to Spotify premium they've got you covered.

5. Perfecting my skills

Giphy

It's always so exciting to feel like I understand an aspect of the job that has always confused me, plus when my coworkers recognize it feels even better! I also love helping out new baristas on the floor

6. Trying new products

Giphy

Employees get to try out the new products sometimes weeks before they are released. I love to be in the know, and it is always fun to get insider information!

7. Fast-pace environment

Giphy

Especially during peak hours, the fast pace that comes with working at a coffee shop definitely makes your workday go by faster.

8. People (again)

Giphy

I think I need to mention how great fellow baristas can be just one more time. The job would truly not be the same without them.

Now, what do you love about being a barista?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
